Classmates.com User Sues…

ABC News reports a lawsuit being filed by a San Diego man who claims he has been duped into upgrading his membership status at Classmates.com to see who was trying to contact him.

The $15 upgrade was paid but when Anthony Michaels went to see who was trying to contact him he found the truth…

It appears that no-one was trying to contact him from Classmates.com and has now filed a suit against the company for false advertising.

I don’t know about you but I have personally seen these emails Anthony is talking about. They [classmates.com] try to get you to upgrade to a paid membership to see who is trying to contact you.

Trouble is no-one has been trying to reach you.

Does this seem deceptive to you? It sure seems that way to me and even though there are two sides to every story I know for a fact that no-one was trying to contact me when I received these emails. I immediately ignored those emails from Classmates.com because it really seemed suspisious to me.

So this comes down to “How honest are you being online?” …”Are your claims on your website true?”

Mark my words… It’s only a matter of time before Government regulators start cracking down on deceptive advertising online… DON’T be the example!
