Investigation Targets AzoogleAds

Florida's Attorney General has started to investigate AzoogleAds.com's business practice. The investigation centers on the company's ringtone ads and possible unfair and deceptive trade practices, according to AffiliateTip.com.

Just like free images or movie clips, "free" ringtones in exchange for downloading adware is an effective practice. Let's face it, people are often gullible and will blindly download software to get free stuff, even if it puts their computers at risk. But like any scam, it will eventually catch up to those involved.

While the investigation is just a first step in a civil, not criminal process, it could bring to light AzoogleAds practices. The company also runs a Christian dating service, WhereChristiansMeet.com, which some folks are advising against joining.
