FEDs say AT&T Overcharged & tech

MOBILE, Ala. - If you've had a pre-paid plan with AT&T, you could be entitled to a reimbursement. According to the FED's, AT&T made a huge mistake, and it's going to cost the company well over half a million dollars.

AT&T is accused of charging smart-phone users to pay for extra's without having the proper consent.

The FED's say back in 2009, AT&T started requiring new smart-phone customers  to pay for monthly data plans, but they were not supposed to switch over those customers who already had pre-paid plans.

Some of those customers say they were mistakenly moved to monthly plans, and it cost them an extra $25 to $30 dollars each month.

AT&T has now agreed to pay a penalty of $700,000 dollars to the U.S. government so that refunds can be offered to those customers.

Facebook is reportedly interested in a small tech company, started by a 19-year-old Missouri teen. The company, Evtron, set a world record for storage capacity from a small space, getting the attention of folks over at Facebook.

Evtron founder, Andrew Mayhall says, "One of our largest problems  we had to overcome was competing with larger competitors in the industry.  They're able to produce this stuff so much more efficient than what were."

Facebook has not officially made an offer to Evtron.
