Dell accused of fraud

Dell is being accused of making false promises to customers to drive sales, according to <A HREF="http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1040_22-6184057.html?tag=nl.e550">a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.</A>

The court filing accuses Dell and Dell Financial Services of 10 counts of fraud, false advertising and deceptive business practices, including offering misleading financing, and failing to honor rebates and warranties.

The state of New York is asking for an injunction of Dell's allegedly bad business practices and an order that the world's second-largest PC maker pay an unspecified amount of damages to customers found to be affected, in addition to a $500 civil penalty payable to the state of New York for each violation.
