Lying agent

Here's an example of a sales agent lying to me. I suggest Comcast fire this employee and remove all motivations that led this particular agent to lie. Background: My contract will expire next month and I am trying to beat the non-contract price jump. I did a chat assistant and was promised for $65/month I would receive a better price offer within 3 days of starting my new contract for "$30-$40". Below is the chat transcript. Note that most of my statements were missing from the transcript but not by me. Either the lying agent disabled those responses or the logging tool is broken. Nonetheless, the smoking gun evidence is there. Comcast, what will you do about his  flagrant lying employee?

We can understand why this interaction left you frustrated. Reading through that transcript, we can see why the messaging felt inconsistent and why it sounded like something was being promised that may not have been clearly documented.

 

To be transparent, there is no internal process where switching to a “next-gen” plan automatically unlocks a second, lower promotional rate 48 to 72 hours later. Promotions are system-based and tied to account eligibility at the time of the order. They do not “unlock” later simply by enrolling in a different package.

 

What appears to have happened here is that the agent offered a currently available $65 plan with a 60-month guaranteed discount, while verbally suggesting that additional lower-priced promotions might become available afterward. That creates confusion, especially when framed as something guaranteed. If that expectation was set inaccurately, we absolutely understand why you feel misled.

 

Regarding the transcript gaps and odd “nullAgent” entries, that typically reflects logging system behavior, not intentional deletion of your responses. Chat systems can sometimes merge assistant and agent entries or mislabel lines when exported. That said, we take any concern about inaccurate communication seriously.

 

As for what we will do:

 

We can review your account to confirm exactly what plan was applied, what discounts are attached, and whether any lower promotional options are currently available. If the current package does not meet your expectations, we can explore other eligible offers. Can you initiate a direct message and start with your full name and address?

While your response seems to be sympathetic, I think you missed the point entirely. The agent name is Niranjan. That person obviously lied to close the deal. He lied to further the business interests of Comcast. You made some attempt to defend him which is the wrong way to defend a liar with whom you organizationally work.

It's all there in the transcript: 

nullAgent (06:17 am): And also once your account is enrolled in the next-gen
plan, all the deals get unlocked, and you will receive the deal at a lower
price starting in March.

Agent (06:18 am): Currently, this is the promotional deal available on your
account. However, as I mentioned, once your account is enrolled in the
next-gen plan, all the deals will be unlocked, and you will receive the deal
at a lower price starting in March. You will get 300 Mbps for $30 to $40,
500 Mbps for $45, and 1000 Mbps for $50.

Explain to me how this lie is defensible.

user_vtd7fy I hear what you’re saying. We are not here to defend anyone who set the wrong expectation. If something was presented to you as “guaranteed” and that guarantee does not exist in the system, that is not acceptable. Period.
 
At the same time, we also have to be careful about labeling intent. We can see what was documented in the transcript. We can see what was applied to the account. What we cannot determine from this side is whether there was intentional deception or a misunderstanding of how promotions work.

 

 
What we can do right now is make sure your account reflects exactly what you knowingly agreed to. 

If the promise was that lower promotional rates would “unlock” automatically in 48–72 hours, that is not how our pricing system functions. Promotions are eligibility-based and visible at the time of the order. They do not activate later simply because a plan was changed. If that was communicated otherwise, we understand why you feel misled.

 

We are not dismissing your concern. We are not protecting behavior that violates policy. We just want to handle it factually and correctly rather than emotionally.

 

If you would like, we can:

• Review your current plan and confirm every discount attached
• Check if any lower-priced offers are actually available now
• Document and escalate the sales interaction for internal review

 

We value transparency just as much as you do. Let us know how you’d like to proceed, and we’ll move forward constructively.

Yes, I agreed to the $65 plan BUT with the promise of a better offer within days. It's clear that promise was a lie. Fire the guy, report the action to me here, and restore my trust on Comcast. Otherwise, I have other choices for internet service, and I can readily change service providers if I need to.

We cannot fire an employee, report disciplinary action publicly, or take personnel action at a customer’s request. That’s not how any company operates, and it would be inappropriate for us to discuss internal HR matters in a public forum.

 

What we can do is this:

 

If an agent set an expectation that promotions would “unlock” within a few days and that expectation does not align with how our pricing system works, that interaction can absolutely be documented and reviewed internally. That review process is handled by leadership and compliance teams, not by frontline support, and the outcome of personnel matters is never shared publicly.
