Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
My disabled son reached this web site throught animation site geMonday December 16, 2002 I received a bill from company stating I owed $207.58 for Premium Web Adult content. I never ordered any such service though my name and address were listed.

After determining our 15-year-old son who is receiving Special Education at school got to these sites through some animation sites when unsupervised on computer. We immediately took away all access to the computer and called this company to explain the above. A very condescending rude man took our call and said, Your son was smart enough to download this it's a problem with your home. He also told us to get a lawyer and possibly we owed more than above.

I searched our computer and removed (hopefully) every file and dialer of theirs I could find. I was especially affronted by one labeled get-ani1 on computer; obviously they are out to get anyone'.

We ended up doing a complete restore because they had so much junk on it.

My son is a minor and cannot contract for pornography.

He fraudulently entered into this contract.

My son is not competent due to mental incapacity; I can document if need be with his psychiatrist, endocrinologist, and social worker. He has a genetic disorder with a mood disorder.

How can this be legal? Help me shut them down!

EDitor's Comment: MORE IMPORTANT TO FILE ON RIP-OFF REPORT THAN WITH BBB & WE'RE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS ATTORNEYS GENERAL OR INVESTIGATIVE AGENCIES

#20

Wed, January 15, 2003

Many government sites (and the BBB) are only in place to collect all the information from you, the consumer; in most cases, never making it available for others to see. Listing your complaint on many Government sites is usually no better than filing with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). In fact, utilizing such sites is often just a waste of time; giving you false hope. Perhaps most frustrating is that the federal agencies tasked to investigate these disreputable enterprises receive tax dollars to do so, yet come to badbusinessbureau.com for the results of our investigations and data, which we collect at no cost to the consumer while benefiting them.

By failing to make this information available publicly, it makes it harder for consumers to get educated about exactly what scams they should watch out for. In addition, when these agencies fail to make these individual complaints public, consumers are robbed of the opportunity to know how bad a Company or Individual really is, and why.

On the other hand, many government agencies have and do come to the Rip-off Report for information. We have assisted, and continue to assist many government agencies for some time now, including local and state police departments, the FBI, FTC and Attorney General offices from around the country

Since all the Reports are out in the open for everyone to see, in a way, this embarrasses these agencies into doing something about these scams when they see so many Reports on a Company or Individual.

Unfortunately, many (not all) Attorneys General Offices and government agencies will not move against a rip-off unless there will be some sort of publicity, associated with some political hay to be made. Additionally, they normally won't take action if the Rip-off does not exceed $50,000. However, your Reports have helped to change this. Reporting your experiences on Rip-off Report is the next best thing to getting your story on TV or in a newspaper. In fact, many national TV networks and several local TV stations from all around the country come to the Rip-off Report for information. They do this because they know that the BBB, Attorneys General, and other agencies are not reliable or cooperative sources when compared to Rip-off Report. News stations know that they will get information from us that are unobtainable elsewhere.

Rip-off Report has instigated many local and national stories that have resulted in help for victims worldwide, in one way or another. Now that the government has cut back spending even more in this area, this dollar amount required to get the attention of investigative agencies will likely get even higher. This means that we can expect even less action, since fewer people and resources will be available to work on all these Rip-offs.

Additionally, by filing a Rip-off Report, you might be contacted by one of us to notify you to make contact with a law firm that has shown interest in your case. We get requests every week for class action lawsuits; bringing victims together with lawyers willing to sue the company after reading your filed Rip-off Report.

Alyon Technologies even harrassing a disabled minor

#3Consumer Comment

I recommend the following:

1. Write a Certified letter with return receipt to Alyon Technologies disputing the charges.

2. Go to your Attorney General's website and file a complaint.

3. Go to the Federal Trade commission's web site and file a complaint. http://www.ftc.gov

4. File a complaint with your local and long ditance telephone carrier since they switched your telephone carrier without your consent (slamming violation).

5. File a complaint at the Internet Fraud Website https://www.ifccfbi.gov/ The FBI reads these reports.

6. Law enforcement checks the complaints on http://www.ripoffreport.com , so authorities will most likely read your complaint here.

6 Keep all your records.
