Ipad scam

Same as others have stated. Called to reduce my mthly expense by changing my plan.  Was advised I could do that and get a free Ipad and it would be included in the amount quoted for my revised mthly plan plus a one time activation fee.

I was just charged in excess of $60.00 for an Xfinity Mobile account for the Ipad.  This is on top of the monthly internet & tv plan.

I also questioned several times the quoted and that the Ipad was included.

user_n5uqmp This is not the experience we want any customer to have and apologize the new line discount does not apply to smart watches or tablets. If you are within the return period for your Tablet please use the return steps listed here to get the device back to us so we can make sure you are no longer billed. If you are outside that return period please let us know so we can look into other possible options to help.

Of course I am not within the return period. 

By the time you see the extra bill it is way past the return period.

I do not want to pay the additional expenses for the mobile line.

I do not have a problem paying the $20.83 for the Ipad that was to be included in the monthly plan I selected.  

Your sales rep said my plan would include the Ipad and the only additional expense would be the one time $55 activation fee.  I clarified this with him repeatedly.

I would not have accepted the Ipad.  I can live very happily without it.  It sounded like a promotion for your long time customers. I specifically said I did not want a mobile account with Xfinity.

I have been a customer for a very long time and I am so disappointed that your company is pulling this unethical stunt on your customers.  You should be ashamed of yourselves.  You very well know this is going on and you are allowing it to continue.  I obviously had no idea I was being scammed until I saw the auto deduction from my bank account this past week.  I did not authorize or request a mobile line account.

I found out on line that this has been happening to many many of your loyal customers when they call in to make a change to their account.

I cannot afford these extra charges.   I called to reduce my expenses and that is how this all got started. 

Please end this unethical practice and train your reps to tell the full truth.  I am so disheartened and disappointed in what I thought was a good company.

Your response was not helpful.  It advised me to call or start a chat.  I have already stated the issue.

I got a call with the same thing.  It felt odd and so an hour later I called xfinity mobile and they assure me that it was cancelled.  I asked for an email with the cancellation; however, he says it will take 24-48 hours.  The next day, got an email that the device was shipped.  What to do now?  Can I still cancel within 14 days?
