AOL created an account for each of my three teenage children and billed my credit card account without authorization.
AOL claims a pop up screen asks all users if they'd like their own account and by simply clicking yes new accounts are created -without a credit card number or any authorization. They simply bill the primary account holders credit card.
I have now received three monthly statements with FOUR AOL charges of $23.90 apiece - a total of $286.80.
I called January 7 and a representative said the charges would be removed and I would receive three free months.
The next credit card statement arrives and there are another four $23.90 charges.
I called today and spent 2 hours on the phone and was told a refund of $191.20 will be creditied to my account and I will recive 6 free months of AOL.
After going online and readiing the hundreds of rip offs by AOL the chances of restitution look slim.
IS THIS LEGAL?
What can be done?
