AOL's Calling Card...
was left on a friend's computer yesterday.
She couldn't access her AOL email acct., called an AOL toll #, got the hard sell from some foreigner.
At first it was $199 to remove the bug...then after a 1/2 hr. it dropped to $99.
I showed up & called Data Dr.s & they told the story.
It seems that only a handful of guys are running AOL anymore & they're just collecting $$ from poor saps like my friend.
DDr. guy said that AOL intentionally compromises your acct. then wants $$ to "fix" it.
He says it's legal. Immoral, but legal.
He also told my friend that she has been paying AOL $15/mo. for 8 yrs. for nothing.
Some world, eh?
