A class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging that that Bellevue, Washington based Intelius automatically enrolls California consumers into programs of its affiliate, Adaptive Marketing, improperly and without consent.
The complaint describes how defendants automatically bill California consumers' credit cards for these unrequested "memberships", and intentionally frustrate victims' ability to recognize and dispute the charges.
If you are a California resident who lost money when Intelius posted unauthorized charges to your credit or debit card, you may be a member of the class represented by the complaint.
