    don't bother... after I spent over two hours digging the info from past credit card statements and filing all of the info, I got an email saying that I have a 10 dollars credit to use on their site, not only that you also need to put down money and fund the old campaine in order to get the extra cash... a waste of money and time.
    I will never spend more money on these sites! and I recommend that to you too!

    Those crooks deserve jail, not just paying back some credits.
    Impossible? You just underestimate the time.

    This class action didn't seem to change these crooks .... they just took me for a couple hundred. Best thing we can do is pass the word and hope they run out of business.

    Unfortunately Class-Actions only server to enrich the lawyers. Web related businessed just seem to change their names and move on to the next problem causing behavior.
    I use Country IP Blocks as added security for my networks and servers.

    I've been involved in a class action lawsuit a couple of times. I think I ended up with a couple of coupons valued at under $10 while the litigators got millions. They are just not worth my time.

    But, I think it is important that justice be served.
