A web site called Keen.con (aka Keen.com) is nothing but a swindle. They rely on the tried-and-true "Bait and switch" method of advertising by claiming to offer "up to 100 minutes free." Note the words: "up to." After the unspecified time limit runs out, customers are charged through the nose.

As if that's not bad enough, rumor has it that a large percentage of Keen.con's profits goes towards the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a group that promotes social acceptance of adult sex with children. While this rumor might not necessarily be accurate, why chance it?

The best choice for any sensible individual is to avoid keen like you would avoid a robbery - which is pretty much what it is.

Keen's ads are automatically appended to all newsgroup messages posted through RemarQ. Their ads read as follows:
