Jim Hillibish: Stop paying for AOL, it's free - East Bridgewater, MA - Wicked Local East Bridgewater

A strange thing is happening at AOL. The Internet content provider in 2006 stopped charging for its services. It ended the fee for e-mail and such, but it did not stop billing AOL members for it.

Result: For five years, AOL has been cashing in on users who don’t know they can cancel the paid service and still get all the benefits.

These are no small bananas –– AOL is earning almost $250 million a year from these poor folks. Amazing.
