It was ChaCha, threatening to sue me for 'hacking them'. The 180 they pulled when I casually mentioned I was only 15 was amazing to witness.
Although it's an interesting story, it's worth remembering that you were probably just lucky here. I didn't notice where you were living at the time, but in most western legal systems you could certainly have got into real trouble under financial crime and/or computer misuse laws. Most likely, you weren't legally protected because you were 15, just practically protected because the company didn't want it on the record that it got outsmarted by a 15-year-old and/or because most 15-year-olds don't have enough assets to be worth suing for compensation.
