FTC sent me a letter today I am getting a $59.99 refund. :stickout

Clip from letter follows:

Nov. 2001, the FTC and the New York State Attorney General settled a lawsuit against the owners and operators of numerous websites. According to the complaint, defendants illegally billed thousands of consumers for services that were advertised as "Free" and billed other consumers who never visited the websites at all.

Nice to see some action from the FTC, though the billing was in 2000, I should ask for interest. :D
