Ohio Charges AOL, Compuserve With Deception

Posted by timothy on from the you-don't-say dept.

Polyploid Pimp writes "The Buckeye State has filed a complaint against AOL and its CompuServe subsidiary. Ohio claims that AOL is deceiving consumers with the ever familiar "Free Trial" cds, as both ISPs charged consumer's credit cards/bank accounts after cancelling the "free" service. The state is seeking $25,000 for each alleged violation plus refunds for the consumers. Check it out at The Register and the official press release."

    ...the ever familiar "Free Trial" cds.

    So now there will be a "very expensive trial" to evaluate the "free trial" claim?
