February 11, 2003 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. They are well known for this; they manufacture generic dialers known under several names, such as the one specified. The parasite that installs some of them is known as ACX_Install. E-Group 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-Groups are specifically to hijack your system and connection. There is an absolute element of fraud involved as well. (C/o sponge) Alyon Technologies has spoken to one news agency calling all complaints a lie. These people have no conscience. To Alyon Technologies the end justifies the means. 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. Thank Ed Magedson at RipOffReport 8. Keep all your records. 9. Remove Mini-dialer, iedisco.exe, and eGroup file from your computer.
