Popup billing finds a new screen
26 Jun 2008My cover story - Popup billing finds a new screen - in today’s technology Guardian (printed edition) takes a closer look at Platte Media (Platte International Ltd).
It’s online as Porn billing firm lures customers with promises of Hollywood movies (it was first published on Weds 25 June in the latest news section).
If you’ve found a popup bill (Your Platte Subscription) on your PC demanding a £29.99 subscription for getfilmsnow.com in the last couple of months, then you’ll want to read this story. Many people will have come to Platte Media’s Getfilmsnow website via several pornographic feeder websites following searches. But others will have found Getfilmsnow directly as it’s indexed by search engines, well linked from Platte International/Media corporate sites, and also linked from places like these - www.gcssdubai.com/movie-collection/ and www.tiangson.org/2008/05/27/movie-search/
For my previous post on Platte Media go here (where there’s help in finding out how Platte Media installed on your PC). Please keep those comments and e-mails coming.
