Got AOL? Got Gateway? Got DELL? Thought you got rid of them?
Guess again!
I got AOL with my Gateway over a year ago and got rid of it ASAP, including deleting as much of it as possible from the start up program.
I even called and told them at AOL that we were cancelling and did not want anything to do with them.
Now, over a year later, we balanced the checkbook and discovered two deducutions by AOL
at $26.95 each.
After contacting the bank to put a stop payment in place to guard against future unauthorized withdrawls, I contacted AOL to find that they had no record of my cancellation!
Not only that, but, if you are a Gateway or DELL computer owner, you get the AOL whether you like it or not, and, YOU must call to cancel or end up with "automatic withdrawl" after the FREE year of AOL.
As you can see, even calling to cancel isn't a guarantee that you won't be invaded by these overbearing and rude people...
BE CAREFUL AND VERIFY THAT AOL IS NOT TAKING YOUR $$$ WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION.
Anyone else out there with a similar story?
