Free iPad scam

Contact Xfinity chat for a reduced rate, was not offered any clear table for rates/speeds, was offered a “free iPad” with a monthly rate cheaper than what I’d been paying. Turns out they slapped me with an Xfinity mobile monthly charge that I never asked for so I’m paying more than before. When I contacted them again via chat they said there’s no such thing as a free iPad offer which is exactly what I’d been offered verbatim. When requesting a transcript of previous chat I was told it was not possible. Now I’m posting here and contacting my state’s attorney general consumer division about this [Edited: Language]

The concern is not "Community Center" help related.................... Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

@XfinityJanelle​ It would be simple for you to look into my account and answer this publicly on your terrible forum that is glutted with bad reviews of your customer service failings, so I'm not going to do all that

My mom called because Xfinity Stream was lagging. The agent fixed it and then offered the free iPad. He said it would lower her bill from 222 dollars to 186. She pays the government fee. The iPad came today with a Xfinity Mobile SIM card. We are confused we check her account on app and Xfinity Mobile has been added when that was never stated by agent. She does not need nor want Mobile. iPad has not been activated
