Got a "free" phone and now im getting services and device charges.

​Around May 2021 I wanted to change my internet subscription and they offered a promotion for a free phone but I did not want it, however, the sales rep say if I took the free phone even if I didn't use it I can get them a discount on the internet bill. so I asked if that's even if I don't activate the phone or use it.​

​after that, I did not pay too much attention to it and since I have my autopay setup and done, but recently I notice my credit card statement for a charge of "Xfinity mobile" that I was not familiar with so I look into it further and normally I checked Xfinity site for my bills which do not say anything about this charge, that's when I notice that the mobile site is entirely different and there it was my bills.  ​

​I never opened the phone box for this phone.​

​Does not seem fair that this is happening, and after searching the forums it seems I'm not the only one affected by this practice. ​
