Global mobile marketer Jesta Digital, LLC, will provide refunds to a large number of consumers and pay an additional $1.2 million to the Federal Trade Commission as part of a settlement with the FTC, which alleged that Jesta crammed unwanted charges onto consumers’ cell phone bills.
...
ran phony virus-scan ads on consumers’ Android mobile devices while they played the Angry Birds mobile app.
...
While a screen contained a subscriber button, the FTC alleged that if consumers clicked anywhere on the screens or landing pages, Jesta charged them $9.99 per month directly on their mobile bill for ringtones and other mobile content.
...
Jesta charged unsuspecting consumers by misusing a novel, little-used billing method known as Wireless Access Protocol, or WAP, billing. WAP billing captures a consumer’s mobile phone number from the mobile device, which is used to place charges on their mobile phone bill without the need to obtain the information manually from the consumer.
...
Jesta is required to automatically provide full refunds to consumers who were billed between Dec. 8, 2011, and the date of entry of the order

zusätzlich müssen die noch 1,2 Mio US$ zahlen. Und trotzdem ist es eine gute Sache, als Millionenbetrüger in Freiheit zu bleiben

In Deutschland darf man sogar völlig straffrei Verbrauchern in die Brieftasche langen und wird noch als innovativ ausgezeichnet. So läuft das, egal ob schwarz, grün oder gelb regieren.
