An Indian-origin man, along with two others, has been indicted here on charges that they duped internet users in more than 60 countries into buying fake software products of more than 100 million dollars.
According to the 26 count indictment returned by a federal grand jury, Shaileshkumar P Jain, Bjorn Daniel Sundin and James Reno deceived internet users into falsely believing that their computers were infected with 'malware' or had other critical errors to induce them to purchase 'scareware' software products that had limited or no ability to remedy the purported, but nonexistent, defects.
