I was just charged 28 dollars a pound for freon 22, did I get taken.

If this is the current price, it is just under $ 7 per pound.

About 10 years ago I bought the same 30 pound container for about $ 70.

If the $ 28 per pound was the installed price, it still sounds high.
Service men used to atleast double the price of most of ther the parts and
add in their time to come out and do the job.

If the unit was evacuated and serviced and then refilled, that $ 28 may be
part of the work.
