Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, a friend to you and me, is suing the computer manufacturer for fraud. The suit, which will be addressed in press conference later today, alleges that Dell mislead its customers into thinking they were getting low financing when in fact it was applying high credit to computer purchases. So, saying one thing and doing the exact opposite. The state will also make a case that Dell’s customer service, warranties and rebates weren’t as good as advertised.

I have personally owned many Dell computers over the years, and recommended them to many people. I have never had a problem with one of their computers, and anyone I have known always got their problem solved promptly. New York has been on a missions for a long time against corporations, so this seems like just another feather in an upcoming prosecutor’s cap.
