The internet is a place where if you click on a banner ad its something you have to pay for, and whoever gets paid will tell you anything because there are 100s of similar services elsewhere. It has been like that since al invented the internet I hope Anthony knows he was getting scammed, and is just trying to make a point. I`ll support that, otherwise he just deserves a darwin(I know he didnt die.. just a figure of speech) What cave did this guy crawl out of?

I figured it was just something everyone got. It's false advertising though and I hope he wins. I also have gotten those "fill this thing out" and see who has a crush on you. After wasting my time they finally asked for money and at that point I gave up. I'veotten those ads to saying the classmates are looking for me. I figured it was just something everyone got.

Even not knowing their scammy history I knew it wasn't right. I kept getting these notices until I finally found my way to the part where I could unregister. I've heard of many complaints that even after paying members unregister after being scammed that their cards would continue to be charged. Frivolous maybe but it would be great if some judge decided to ban classmates.com from lying since they've been functioning like that for too long.

No where on these messages is there a way to cancel them like 99.9% of newsletters out there. I went to their site figuring I could cancel from there. Wrong. I sent them an email and asked them to stop sending the mail. I believe I still get their newsletters but my MailWasher filters them out now so don't see their headers. At least I didn't send them any money. It's a shame since their site is a pretty good idea. Whatever you do don't ask to be put on their email list.

Then they keep telling you "User blondebabe69 has sent you a message, join gold to read" etc. etc. Of course once you send the money you find out none of those users exist... I wouldn't ever fall for such scams, but they should still be prosecuted, (as well as "free" ringtones that cost $20/month).
