New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo continues following on the heels of Governor Spitzer, who used crusading as an AG to successfully run for Albany.
New to Cuomo's resume is a victory over PeoplePC, an Earthlink (NASDAQ: ELNK) subsidiary that also partners with AARP. Cuomo accused the company of making false and deceptive statements that resulted in consumers being overbilled.
More than 50,000 New Yorkers may now be eligible for refunds and one wonders if other states will jump on the bandwagon. New York consumers have until May 8, 2008 to file a claim, which Cuomo's office says should be done directly with the company.
If you think you're eligible, the claim form can be downloaded from the New York government's site. How do you know if you're eligible? Cuomo's office says, "New York customers who incurred charges by using telephone access numbers suggested by PeoplePC are encouraged to submit claims for refunds."
That's good enough for us. Give it a shot.
