These new accounts are sometimes called "spin off" accounts.

2. Unauthorized Charges: Charges for AOL CreditAlert, AOL Netmarket, AOL ShoppersAdvantage and AOL PrivacyGuard suddenly appear on a consumer's credit card, debit card or are automatically withdrawn from a bank account without the consumers consent.

3. Can't Cancel Trial Membership: AOL members sign up for AOL CreditAlert, AOL Netmarket for a free trial period, usually 90 days, and try to cancel but the charge is never removed from their credit card or credited back to a debit card or bank account.

4. Desk Planner: AOL members receive an unsolicited desk planner in the mail from AOL and is charged for the desk planner if it's not returned within a certain period of time.
