Back when they were getting into long distance, they sent me a check in the mail for $50. The idea was if I cashed the check, they would automatically switch my long distance to AOL LD. Well, being short on money at the time, I endorsed the check and deposited it in my bank. My long distance never got switched!
Banks do this too only the amount is like $2.50 then by cashing it, you get suckered into a $129/year travel shoppers service

aol has been doing that crap for years,
it's about time somefolks stand up to aol.
Yep when i had a aol free tril years ago the big thing was slamming aka changing your long distance to aol long distance even after you explicatly said not to. How about charging for the free trial that was popular to. And oh yeh for a couple upgrades to the software that you could nto refuse they charged for that as well. Aol is known for screwing the customers over.
