WWORtv in Secaucus, New Jersey would love to hear from you since you are in the New York area.
Alyon Technologies is calling us all a bunch of s according to one News reporter.
Call Barbara NevinsTaylor WWORtv, Fox affiliate Investigative Reporter UPN9
201 330 2242. Tell her your story.
Existing telecommunications law likely considers this a form of hacking, not to mention state and federal laws against fraud and theft by deception.
The Mini-dialer is made in Lyon, France and sent in generic from to several locations.
Such dialers are one of the most prolific parasites in existence, with e-groups' own dialers accounting for a sizable percentage if not a majority.
EGROUP is well known for this. They manufacture generic dialers known under several names, such as the ones you specified. The parasite that installs some of them is known as ACX_Install. E-Groups makes many such dialers and probably made Mini-dialer.
Most spyware is, by definition, trojan
horse-type software regardless, but dialers such as Mini-player and e-Group's are specifically to hijack your system and connection. There is an absolute element of fraud involved as well. (C/o sponge)
Alyon Technologies has no conscience. According to my research, the NOCREDIT concept is supposed to be directed at Europeans since 90% of them do not have credit cards. What a bunch of B.S.
1. Send a Certified letter with return receipt to Alyon Technologies disputing the bill.
2. Complain to your Attorney General
3. Complain to the FTC http://www.ftc.gov
4. Complain to FCC http://www/fcc.gov
5. Complain to your local law enforcement because
this is fraud and theft by deception.
6. Complain to http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp
7. Remove Mini-dialer, iedisco.exe, and eGroup file from your computer.
8. Keep all your records.
9. Be sure to file a Rip- off Report, they do a better job than many Government and News agencies in getting the facts out to the public.
