These are the facts:
        I subscribed to AOL for six months and allowed them to bill my
mastercard for my monthly payment.
        I decided to switch to an ISP and canceled AOL. (They
acknowledge the cancellation.)
        A week later their telemarketing representative called
offering me incentives to reactivate. He was persistant and I told him
NO in many ways.
        AOL then reactivate my account without my knowledge or
permission and began billing my credit card again.
        I did not notice the AOL billings until three months later.
        I never logged on (not once) to AOL in that three months. I
never even knew the account was active.
        Now AOL refuses to refund the money they have stolen from me
and will not even respond to my letters and email.
