So did you get your money back?

From http://www.thisdayinmusic.com

March 24th, 1992, a Chicago court settled the Milli Vanilli class action suit by approving cash rebates of up to $3.00 to anyone proving they bought the group?s music before November 27 1990, the date the lip synching scandal broke.

Milli Vanilli won the 1989 best new artist Grammy after hits like "Blame it on the Rain" and "Girl, You Know It's True," selling 30 million singles and 14 million albums. But in late 1990, the performers were stripped of the award after it was revealed that neither actually sang on the Milli Vanilli album.

I haven't thought about those two birds in over a decade. One of them died of an overdose, I think.

Of course...I remember the VH1 Behind the Music episode well.

Can't say I bought any of their music. No refund for me.

Lord help me, I was very young at the time, but I did go see thier concert. I save my ticket (as a souvenir) but I did not get a refund, I figured that i fun for the nite, no matter who was singing. In my defense, I was also dating women at eh time, so I was really messed up back then.
