Allegedly, customers were unexpectedly hit with an "administrative charge" as part of a “deceptive scheme.” Verizon says they haven't engaged in any wrongdoing, but agreed to pay tons of users up to $100 each.

Sure, doesn't sound like much but it's an extra hundred you didn't have before! Who are the customers who qualify to receive this payment, though?
