Yahoo and a handful of unidentified third parties are being sued for their alleged participation in syndication fraud schemes. The suit claims advertisers were defrauded by Yahoo and associates because they paid to have ads displayed next to search results that are triggered by certain keywords. The ads were instead displayed via spyware and adware products on sites with little or no traffic, according to the suit. Yahoo did not respond to the Posts inquiries before the story was posted.”]
