by Darla Mack
Sometimes we consumers rarely pay attention to the available content that comes from our service providers… although we should because sometimes its ridiculously overpriced.
AT&T consumers in Tallahasse, Florida will be happy to know that AT&T will be issuing refunds for fraudulent charges due to purchased content that was advertised as “free”.
According to Cellular News, consumers were billed for services like ringtones and text messaging that were advertised as free. AT&T has agreed to pay thousands of Florida consumers.
Under a settlement that was announced by Florida Attorney General, Bill McCollum, AT&T Mobility, a unit of AT&T will also pay the state $2.5 million and contribute $500,000 toward consumer education on safe Internet usage.
