Operating since 2008, the fraudulent tactics applied by Soletto Group, S.A also known as Netlink Network Corp, greatly remind of those applied by Interactive Brands also known as IBSOFTWARE CYPRUS; IB Softwares and most recently Euclid Networks Ltd -- you have to appreciate the irony here since they too multitask on multiple fronts through their official phone number since 2007 -- in particular their massive typosquatted domain farms where they'd would change and repeatedly charge without permission once someone falls victim into the fraudulent practice.

Who's typosquatted anyway? Pretty much each and every popular piece of software there is. From Kaspersky, NOD32, Malware Bytes, Avira, AVAST, BitDefender, to Firefox, BitTorrent, Microsoft Office, Winzip, Winrar, and Internet Explorer - for starters.
