Xfinity tries to charge for the mobile service I never used

Hello. At the beginning of the August I moved to the new place and decided to continue using Xfinity Internet. I chatted with support and asked them to move the Internet Service to the new location. That day I needed internet urgently and asked support to provide the Service as soon as they can. Instead they started offering me mobile Service. Support literally did not connect the Internet until I said "OK let's have your mobile service", this is so discusting. I think Xfinity should investigate support behavior. I ordered three SIM-cards, then one of my family member decided not to go with Xfinity mobile Service and I asked support to CANCEL these three SIM-cards and send me only two. Instead, I've received five of them. This was the final point, after which I asked them to CANCEL COMPLETELY the mobile Service. They just ingnored my requests and continued charging me for all 5 sim cards even though I never ever activated mobile Serivice with Xfinity. After receiving a bill I refused to pay for the service I never used and asked support three times to cancel this charge. Support promised that they will create a "special" ticket for that send me the confirmation number. But I never ever received confirmation number and was ignored. 
Writing here because support absolutely does not care and does not want to work on my case.

@XfinityRyanE​ Hello, I chatted with Xfinity support again. I asked them to escalate my case since all the previous attempts to resolve the issue with support were failed. This time I again was promised they will call me back within 15 mins but this did not happen. Please escalate this case.

I am having the EXACT same problem. And my credit card company has closed the ticket. I paid for the first month even though the phones were never activated because I was given erroneous and fraudulent information in the hopes of getting the $300 gift card for 3 SIM cards. But WHY should I have to pay almost $200 because when I canceled the mobile account, I didn't realize the account was not canceled (ignored) until I received my next credit card statement (had to use credit card for auto billing-also a scam). The only reason they have stopped billing is because I had to cancel my credit cards! I am now considering cancelling my entire cable bill, no longer wishing to do business with such a company--paying for two months of mobile service for 3 phones which were NEVER activated. I don't need this headache. I would never argue this if I was in the wrong, but I don't know who is overseeing this company but this is not right. I need this resolved, and the additional charges reversed because it was THEIR error.

[Edit: Inflammatory] Xfinity billing - beware of Xfinity mobile.  I had a similar experience my Amex has been charged for about $140 for monthly Xfinity mobile service I never ordered or accepted.  I have Xfinity internet but understood the mobile service was rebadged Verizon and I had bad experiences with Verizon so did not want.  This is ridiculous and seems like a BBB or FCC issue.  I paid for NOTHING.  The Mexico call center said they could not do anything, so Xfinity cannot tell when you do not accept unwanted mobile service?  I highly doubt that.  I want my money back.
