Many corporations employ shady billing practices that take advantage of the average consumer. While a few get away with their schemes, some are rightfully shamed and brought to justice. This story is more about the latter.
A man wanted a $45 refund from a dating app after a bug continuously charged his credit card for a premium feature he had previously signed up for. The company refused, urging him to join a class action lawsuit with others who had a similar experience.
The company lost the case and had to pay $23 million in damages, as the man relished in his victory. His story was shared in the Pro Revenge subreddit as proof that standing up against predatory corporate practices isn’t always a lost cause.
