The manager at your Xfinity store attempted to defraud me

I am a long-term customer with Xfinity prepaid internet service. I had technical support issues with my modem and they advised me to go to the Xfinity store to get an upgrade without charge or expense to me. I went to the Xfinity store at The Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester New Hampshire and the manager there attempted a bait and switch fraud, refusing to honor the instructions of Technical Support and telling me my only remedy was to purchase a new modem or upgrade my services to internet subscription program.  This is your classic bait and switch defraud scheme, I went there with screenshots showing him exactly what I was instructed to do and I told him I expect him to honor those instructions. He refused, and I'm considering terminating my service with Xfinity.

Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate you being a long-time customer and for creating a new post. I see you have our Xfinity Prepaid service, and you had some issues with your equipment. I can confirm the local store wouldn't do an equipment swap for Xfinity Prepaid services. Pre-paid uses a specific modem, which the local store may not have on hand.

To receive replacement Equipment, you must notify the Prepaid team within thirty (30) days of the date of purchase by calling 855-757-7372 and following the return procedures provided when you call. If you've exceeded 30 days, a new device would need to be purchased.

That is not the instruction given to me by technical support when I was chatting with them. I asked them numerous times if there would be any cost associated with this upgrade and they assured me that there would not be. If there is an issue of right and wrong, the conflict will be between Technical Services and the sales store. The customer, who is me, is not an error because I was following the direct and explicit instructions of technical support to go to the store for the upgrade. The manager attempted to upsell me despite having been shown the chat instructions that I had received. This is a bait and switch fraud, where I was drawn to the store and the manager attempted to upsell me. Nothing you say changes the fact that technical support explicitly told me and reassured me that there would be no expense related to this upgrade.

We do apologize for any inconvenience or misinformation given. The local retail Xfinity stores won't have the prepaid modems , for the pre paid service you want to go to this link to find a retailer https://www.xfinityprepaid.com/find-a-retailer

You are again incorrect.  The process I need to follow is to bring this directly to the attention of {Personal information}, Sales Director, and {Personal information}, Manager of Technical Operations.  If I do not get a response to my satisfaction, my proper response is to escalate this to the State of New Hampshire Department of Justice, Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau in the form of a Complaint and to let them know that I am ready to swear out a complaint to them at their convenience.
