This store ripped me off, lied to me and destroyed my credit. I was in the high 700s and was dropped a lot after I was lied to. It appears to me that T-Mobile in general or at least this store harbors a sales culture that encourages lying to customers to get them to sign deals that are ridiculously expensive to cancel. My experience with Verizon was completely opposite.
I spent more than 300 dollars here for less than 1 month of T-Mobile service and returned merchandise that I was told were part of the special non-advertised "sale" going on at the time that the salesman, David, made up.
I had been a T-mobile customer for years. I bought my first smartphone from T-Mobile a decade ago. I spent one year with Credo and decided to go back to T mobile. I wanted to upgrade my phone at the same store that I bought my LG smartphone years ago. The salesman I spoke with, David, lied to my face to get me to sign up for a tablet and another line. He showed my the figure for my monthly rate, he said it was all included, tablet, phone and lines for 90 bucks a month. I asked him several times if this was the rate because there were other numbers in the paperwork he gave me. He told me, to my face, that I would be paying 90 bucks a month based on the sales they were having.
This is after he sold me a case, a wireless charger, an unusually expensive protector, and a memory card. I thought it was odd that he opened these items up in the store to "help me install them" and threw away the packaging but I trusted this person. He stated they were all part of the sale going on for new customers since I was coming back from Credo.
When my 150 dollar a month bill came in I called T-Mobile because I thought it was a mistake. It was not, they went over the rate. David lied to me. I felt like a fool for getting grifted. T-Mobile is a large corporation and I figured they wouldn't hire someone like this. But I was not going to let this company screw me over. I went to the store and the salesman that I spoke with verified that I had been lied to. I cancelled the account and returned everything. I had to pay a ton of cancellation and merchandise return fees, on top of what I had already paid. I was not cheap the total bill on my credit card was about 380 dollars for less than one month of service. I paid this because of the principal of the matter. I had to return to the store three times, I also called corporate and spoke to the sales people in the Diamond Bar T mobile store. David screwed me over and it was very time consuming to cancel everything.
On my final trip I spoke with the salesperson who verified that I was done. I had paid the service fees and they even refunded me a little money because I cancelled before the month was over.
At first they called me to state that i owed 40 dollars. I told them that this was a mistake and that I had paid everything off. The person on the phone verified what I said and even noted that I was a T-Mobile customer for less than a month before cancelling and told me they would take care it. 9 months later I learned that T-Mobile very erroneously sent my account to collections for 139 dollars. I disputed, they noted the dispute and stopped calling. Now, two years after I cancelled this T-Mobile grift, this collection hit my credit report.
I am sure this is not the case for all of the salespeople there but this store has created a loyal Verizon customer.
I pay 80 bucks a month for unlimited Verizon now. The Verizon salespeople put no pressure on me and were completely proffesional.
Stay away from this store. read more
