Class Action Claims Sprint Nextel Violated RICO Law
Jeffrey Silva writes on RCR Wireless News:
A class action lawsuit filed against Sprint Nextel Corp. claims the struggling No. 3 mobile-phone operator violated federal anti-racketeering laws by failing to adequately inform consumers about data fees accompanying picture mail service subscriptions.More here.
“The purpose and intent of these deceptive, false, fraudulent and misleading advertisements was to entice and/or lure Sprint Nextel customers into purchasing the ‘Sprint Picture Mail’ plan for a $5/month service charge without disclosing the true charges associated with this add-on service, which were exorbitant and in many cases caused the purchaser’s bill to double,” the suit stated.
The class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama in Birmingham.
Sprint Nextel declined to comment on the suit.
