Interesting, I received 3 $500 charges from Windsight on my last credit card
bill. I have not used their service in 4 years. I called them and they told
me that they were having problems with their processing network and to
dispute the charges through my credit card company. The guy I spoke to about
it was nice about the whole thing.
