Class Action Connect

Several months ago I wrote a blog entry which was meant to describe an interesting form of auction. But it also described a rather heavy-handed charging system where owners of cells phones would be charged for being notified of auction results even when they didn't sign up for such. That entry was picked up by another blog and has resulted in a lot of people reading this blog to see if they're story is similar to mine. Many times they're almost identical, the difference being that I got my bill credited so that I lost nothing while many others were not able to get the charges reversed.

Now I notice that referrals to this blog are coming from the web site http://classactionconnect.com/
a site which facilitates people getting together over a common problem. According to ClassActionConnect:

If you believe you have been wronged by a company and think you may qualify to participate in a class action lawsuit, contact our class action attorneys today. [through this site]

Although I personally believe there are hundreds if not thousands of frivolous class action suits every year, I also believe that there are situations where people have no idea that others have suffered from businesses in the same way they have and a class action suit may be the only method of redress and correction. This web site appears to be a legitimate effort to connect such people with each other and with attorneys who can mount the proper legal effort.
