YEREVAN, MARCH 16, NOYAN TAPAN. In the recent months, about 400 users of the Internet via phone received bills from ArmeTel for international calls which were not made actually. Abgar Yeghoyan, Chairman of the "Consumer Rights Protection" NGO, told this to NT correspondent, reminding that in May 2006, bills of about 400 users were recognized as invalis by court decision. In his words, the reason why such cases take place again is that ArmenTel has not informed properly its subscribers using Internet via phone to code their computers to avoid illegal phone connections. Such cases happen when after use of some websites, the international phone call program is connected. A. Yeghoyan said that Consumer Rights Protection NGO has proposed 8 providers that they should include a warning point with description of coding in all agreements signed with subscribers using Internet services, as well as in payment cards. According to A. Yeghoyan, Arminco company has already expressed such willingness and is going to publish a poster with the respective warning. "Consumer Rights Protection" NGO in its turn is trying to collect money for printing such warning posters.
