AOL Student in Australia hit for over $2000 in charges in two months consumer rip-off fraud Trumbull Connecticut
They told me there would be a $ .25 charge each time I logged on from Australia. Instead I was charged $ .25 per minute. I am a student and travelling internationally. There is no way I would have informed my roomates to leave it on once we logged on to save money. A $1235 charge for one month of on line service is something no one can afford. I had agreed to a flat monthly fee and $ .25 per log on. My bill should not have exceeded $30. The second month was over $900, and my debit card stopped working while on a side trip. Dealing with AOL has made me broke on what should have been a trip of a lifetime.
