I hate Classmates.com as I know they lie to me too. My spouse was actually tricked into signing up just like this lawsuit hungry guy below. No one had viewed the profile and no one was trying to make contact. It was just a gimmick to get you to subscribe. I’d like to see this open the floodgates for a whole slew of similar lawsuits.
When Classmates.com told user Anthony Michaels last Christmas Eve that his former school chums were trying to contact him, he pulled out his wallet and upgraded to the premium membership that would let him contact long-lost fifth-grade dodge-ball buddies and see if his secret crush from high school had looked him up online.
But once he’d parted with the $15, Michaels learned the shocking truth: No one he knew was trying to contact him at all. Classmates.com’s come-on was a lie, and he’d been scammed. (Wired)
