Customer Service Agent Scam
A cautionary tale regarding a customer service rep offering a promotion that didn't exist, and how Xfinity expects me to pay $700 for that.
In April 2024, I had a problem with my email and internet service. After some troubleshooting, on 4/2/2024, I live chatted Xfinity and ordered a new Xfinity XB8 gateway to replace my two-year old Motorola MG8725 modem; Motorola's top-of-the-line device was no longer an Xfinity-approved device. After the new rental order was placed, the Xfinity agent offered me a "free iWatch as token of apology". Then he asked for my SSN. I didn't want to share that at first. After 45 minutes of live chatting to discuss the details, I finally gave in and placed the order. He had assured me that the $27.92 monthly mobile charge for the watch (which included the $10 line charge) would be offset by a $30 per month discount on my internet services billing. He repeated this a total of six times during the live chat. I have the transcript. For example, he typed specifically: "You will also get $30 discount by adding this watch line on your internet bill so this will be FREE for you." I asked why the discount wasn’t shown on the iWatch order that he sent me and he told me that it the discount would be handled by Xfinity Internet Services so it isn’t shown on the Mobile documents, but “please be rest assured”that the $30 discount will be applied.
In a few days, I received the watch and the monthly mobile bill began including the new charges. But I never got any discount on my internet bill. For the next four months, I live chatted and spoke with at least 15 Xfinity representatives and, more recently, Xfinity executives. Some of them created tickets and I was promised callbacks and "fixes" several times that never happened. During one call in July, I was told that the discount would be applied "manually" each month. On my July internet bill, there was no discount, but there was a new $390 "Disputed Charges" line item, and the Disputed Charges increased to $765 on the August bill. There was also an increasing negative (credit) "New Balance" on these bills (-$401.65 in August), so I thought this is how they would "manually"handle the discount.
I didn't make any payments in July and August because I thought the credit balance was being applied. Then I got a past due notice in my email. I called Xfinity to find out what to do and representatives told me that there was a negative balance so ignore the emails. On July 30, I was told: “… you do not have to make any payments”. I have that transcript too. On August 30, I came home after a short vacation to find that Xfinity had stopped my internet service. I called the 1-800 customer service number and explained the situation. They told me that I must pay the past due amount now to get service. I explained there was a credit balance, that I was told I didn’t have to pay, and the call was again escalated to a supervisor. He restored service during the call and told me that I would get another call or an email within 24 hours from a higher level with further info. No one ever called or emailed and, in 48 hours, internet service was turned off again. I discovered it after getting home after business hours and, at that point, I just paid the requested past due amount on line in order to get service restored right away.
The following day, I called Xfinity again and spoke with another representative. He transferred me to a supervisor. The supervisor reviewed the records and told me "in her 20 years she never saw anything like this" and the situation "was above her pay grade". There were 7 tickets in the file. She said that she didn’t see anything in the records that mentioned how to address the discount. She suggested that I call the Philadelphia corporate office and gave me a phone number to call. Since it was 4:50 PM by then, I called Philadelphia the next morning and, after being transferred a few times, a corporate person escalated the dispute and gave me a new “ESL…” ticket number. The following day, I got a call from Xfinity Corporate in "Executive Customer Relations". He told me that this iWatch promotion never existed and that they did not have any record of the April 2 live chat transcript. I was looking at the two-hour-long, word-for-word transcript on my monitor at the time and I offered to email it to him. I told him that, in previous conversations with Xfinity people, they said that they could read the transcript. He said I could email him the transcript and he'd send it to Xfinity's Coaching people for "training" purposes. But, no matter what it said, it would not change the situation since it wasn’t currently on file at Xfinity. The Executive Customer Relations person said the iWatch promotion never existed and that was that. He did offer to give me credit for one month's internet service, which is slightly less than $125, including taxes and fees. I was hard to comprehend that a credit of $125 was being offered to compensate for an unacceptable expense of $670.08, plus fees. (I wasn't even asking for the full amount of the promised discount offer of $30/month for 24 months, or $720.) I didn't accept the $125 offer. At this point, I'm not sure what my next step will be.
Bottom line is the Executive Customer Relations person has refused to honor his agent's April 2 six promises to "please be rest assured" that a $30/month discount would be applied to offset the $27.92 charge for the watch. I'm expected to pay for the watch for the next 24 months with no offsetting credit, and that's that. And the Executive Customer Relations person told me there is no one else at Xfinity that could speak with me about this. I guess my 10+ years of being an Xfinity customer – with never a late payment until now - and the Xfinity Gold level customer status means nothing.

Here is the original two-hour, April 3 live chat transcript that Xfinity corporate says they don't have. When I saved it, at the end of the chat, it was provided chronologically backwards and it's shown as such. You should start reading from the bottom and it doesn't really start chatting with anyone until 3:01 pm.
Now, I'm paying for the iWatch on the Mobile bill and not receiving the promised offsetting discount on the Internet bill.
Also, my apologies as I had thought the "conversation" was on April 2, 2024.

As I mentioned, only Siteground-based email accounts don't work. DreamHost, Ionos, Comcast and Apple accounts work fine. (I'm using webmail for the SG accounts now.)
Agent (03:45 pm): So if I ship the modem with Priority shipment you will receive the modem in 24 hours. or if you want a fastest resolution you can pick the modem from the nearest store while I make a order in your account for the store pickup
Agent (03:43 pm): Let me check that for you.
******* (03:43 pm): When do you think I'll receive it?
******* (03:42 pm): That's great news!
Agent (03:42 pm): *******, XB8 is in stoke and I have already build an order for you, if not from one store the shipping team will pick the XB8 modem from some other store, so please be assured you will receive the XB8 modem ONLY
******* (03:40 pm): And one more thing regarding the XB#: Can you specify that the XB# should be shipped and not the XB#? Or can I pickup an XB# at the local Xfinity store in ******* CT this afternoon?
******* (03:37 pm): Thank you. All Siteground-baseds email accounts don't work. DreamHost, Ionos, Comcast and Apple accounts work fine. I'm using webmail for the SG accounts now.
Agent (03:36 pm): and coming to the email issue I will help you with it!! I will check fi there are any issues with your email reception and errors that needs to be corrected
Agent (03:35 pm): Yes, of course, you can return it back with no additional charge. but regarding the issue with the internet I have reviewed the notes of the Harjeet and it is stated that all the internet connections are good and your modem is receiving good signals if you are still having issue with the internet this might be because your modem is failing to distribute the internet signals to the devices
******* (03:35 pm): Are some of my email accounts not working because Xfinity is blocking ports, or...? MG#### used to be an approved device.
******* (03:33 pm): Have you found that my modem - router is the problem?
******* (03:32 pm): Then, when this came up, I asked Harjeet - When there were no XB#s in stock, Xfinity used to ship XB#s. I do not want an XB#. Are you sure that the XB# will be shipped and if it doesn't solve the problem, can I return it at no charge?
Agent (03:31 pm): If you wish I can help you get the XB8 modem?
Agent (03:30 pm): Alright!!
******* (03:30 pm): Then Harjeet ran some tests and offered to send an XB#. I told him that I had bought the Motorola MG#### #-# years ago because you were advertising XB#s, but if one wasn't available you were shipping XB#s. That's where the confusion might be coming from.
******* (03:28 pm): No. That is not correct. Here is the first message I sent: Hi Harjeet. I have two problems. ## Ookla and Xfinity speed tests report ### to ### Mbps download speed. I am on the Gigabit Extra plan and used to get over #### Mbps. ## - Several of my email accounts stopped working and several correspondence with the hosting provider indicates a local problem. Can you help?
Agent (03:27 pm): I understand that you've received Xb7 modem and want to replace it with Xb8 is that correct ?
******* (03:25 pm): OK.
Agent (03:25 pm): Hi! My name is Suhail Ahmed with Xfinity Support. I see youâve been chatting with another team member. Let me review that information so I can pick up right where you left off.
******* (03:25 pm): Is anyone there?
******* (03:23 pm): (Actually one Motorola port is rated at #.# gigs. Three others at # gig.)
******* (03:20 pm): The MG#### is advertised for up to #### Mbps. Plus, when there were no XB#s in stock, Xfinity used to ship XB#s. I do not want an XB#. Are you sure that the XB# will be shipped and if it doesn't solve the problem, can I return it at no charge?
Agent (03:18 pm): Meanwhile let me check your secondary concern of email issue and get that resolved for you.
Agent (03:17 pm): Let me go ahead and arrange a shipment for you.
Agent (03:17 pm): I would like to procced and help you with the XB8 upgraded modem so that the speed issue will get resolved for you.
Agent (03:16 pm): Sure
******* (03:15 pm): Just trying to help and not be a nuisance.
Agent (03:15 pm): Thank you so much for elaborating.
******* (03:15 pm): not hors, hours
Agent (03:15 pm): Alright!
******* (03:14 pm): I just checked speed this morning, a couple of hors ago. The email hasn't been working since around Saturday(?) I've been trying to troubleshoot that with the email/website hosting provider. Some email accounts - with other providers - work properly but we can discuss that later if you want.
Agent (03:12 pm): May i know how long have you been facing this issue
Agent (03:11 pm): Noted
******* (03:11 pm): And the Mbps numbers are hard wired Ethernet.
Agent (03:10 pm): That's helpful. I appreciate the additional detail.
Agent (03:10 pm): Please wait while we run multiple checks on the WiFi health of the internet device and the selected device.
******* (03:10 pm): I should mention that when I couldn't get an XB# a couple of years ago I bought a MG#### Motorola modem/router.
Agent (03:09 pm): Hang tight. The automation is gathering the network health from multiple sources.
Agent (03:08 pm): I am going ahead and start troubleshooting to resolve the speed issue.
