 Apple iPad Hit with Class Action Lawsuit for Removing AT&T Unlimited Data Plan By Sarah Pierce Well, that didn’t take long. Apple is facing its first potential class action lawsuit less than two months after it released the 3G-enabled iPad. Angry iPad owners claim Apple and AT&T sold the 3G-enabled devices with the promise that “unlimited data” service plans would always be available at the customers’ option, but discontinued the unlimited data plan on June 7, 2010. One of the appeals of the iPad was that customers were promised the flexibility to switch back and forth between the limited data plan, the unlimited data plan and the no 3G data plan, based on their data needs. The availability of an unlimited 3G data plan was particularly attractive to customers who were willing to pay nearly $130 more for a 3G-enabled iPad so they could switch in and out of the unlimited data plan when they needed it (such as when they go on vacation and want to use their iPads to download movies and other data-intensive content) and not pay for it when they didn’t need the unlimited data. If approved, the potential class action lawsuit will be seeking damages and restitution for all persons in the United States who purchased an Apple iPad with 3G capability between April 30, 3010 and June 6, 2010.

 Class Action Suit Says YTB.com Swindled Customers in Massive Pyramid SchemeBy Sarah Pierce Did you buy into the promise of cheap travel and million-dollar commission payouts by joining YTB.com (YourTravelBiz.com)? Unfortunately, you may have bought into one of the largest frauds in Illinois history, says a class action lawsuit. According to the class action lawsuit documents, YTB.com has “taken over half a billion dollars from their unsophisticated customers” in a massive pyramid scheme that promised big commissions and cheap travel to customers who became online “travel agents.” In order to become a travel agent, customers had to pay a one-time fee of nearly $450 and a monthly fee of $49.95 thereafter. “Travel agents” were promised up to 60% of travel commissions but they were never really travel agents; they merely referred travel customers to YTB and could only make money by recruiting others to join the illegal pyramid scheme. “While over half of the customers received no travel commissions at all, the officers and directors of YTB International, Inc. each paid themselves multi-million dollar salaries while also siphoning tens of millions of dollars from their publicly traded corporation to privately owned corporation that they owned and controlled.” The class action lawsuit is seeking compensation for the millions of dollars that YTB “swindled” from class members.
