Let me tell you a tale of AT&T.
1. On 1/26/2022 I alerted AT&T to someone trying to commit fraud at the AT&T store in Skokie IL. The store gave the criminal a sim card for one of the 5 numbers on my account and was able to disable the phone from working. I contacted AT&T within 20 min of the fraud and was able to get the phone working. I then asked AT&T to flag my account so this will never happen again.
2. Forward 2 weeks later - Hang on. This will be fun. On 2/9/2022 the same criminal was able to go to a store over 500 miles away and obtain an iPhone 13 PRO MAX and then change 2 of my numbers, one of them was the number changed on 1/26/2022 at the Skokie store. This store was at 15869 W. Michigan AVE in Marshall MI 49068. (Don't ever shop there EVER). I called within 10 min of this happening and the store threatened to hang up on me. I then spent 5 hours calling AT&T and was hung up on 3 times, transferred and put on hold for 2 hours, and then promptly hung up on again. I was then transferred to someone in India who was having a party and could care less and told me I had to pay my bill (he was "Customer Loyalty"). I was leaving town the next day and needed a phone. Welcome, T-Mobile
3. After 3 days I was told they identified this as fraud and I just needed to go get a SIM card for my phone. No apology, no credit, NOTHING!!!!.
4. On 2/18/2022 I went to my local AT&T store to get a SIM for my phone so I can begin the process of changing all my accounts to my new number and since I have TWO FACTOR on most stuff I needed codes sent to the old phone. I was immediately asked for my 4 digit pin in the store. (NONE OF THE PRIOR 2 STORES ASKED FOR THIS). I had DL and Passport as well, but I was asked for the PIN. WTF!!!! Criminal - No Pin, Loyal Customer Pin. Just awful!
5. Today 02/21/2022 I called "Customer Loyalty" to cancel all my lines and inform AT&T of all the HELL they put me through and all the work I had to do since they gave criminal access to my numbers and account. They told me they could cancel my lines, but I had to pay the full amount. No CREDIT, No Adjustment, NO NOTHING. It was basically an F.U. and the criminal gets a new iPhone 13 Pro Max that they write off, but a customer of over 22+ years gets nothing. STAY AWAY FROM AT&T. Any lawyers want to take this case up as AT&T let me down and allowed this to happen even though I alerted them to this on 1/26/2022. I will never pay my bill with AT&T and you can take me to collections. I alerted this company to attempted fraud and 2 weeks later they still let it happen.
Once again, the criminal wins, and the loyal customer is screwed. This all could have been stopped and the criminal could have been caught. Instead, he has a new iPhone 13 PRO MAX for FREE! My entire fam is on AT&T, but not for long.
DO NOT USE THEM!!! My whole family will be moving to T-Mobile! Shame on AT&T, the awful company only cares about WRITING OFF THE PHONE the criminal stole! read more
