Fraudsters and cheaters
I had purchased a Broadband wireless USB card for my laptop. When I was able to get a more reliable internet connection I gave the USB connector to a friend. She took is down to the store paid the last payment plus another $80.00 to have it transferred over to her name.

Last month, I received a letter from Sprint stating that if I did not pay the new bill they would forward it to the credit bureau. Though my friend and I have both contacted the main Sprint company and the office in town.

The same clerk who had taken the $80.00 to transfer the account stated that the $80.00 was not refundable but had forgotten to transfer the account. He had canceled the account. He informed us the only way to rectify it was to pay the news bill and another $80.00.

not receiving ordered mdse
a few months ago we upgraded our phones at the fairview heights sprint office on frey lane. we also ordered a car charger in which we have never received. we stopped by a few times, called and emailed with no success. they sure want their payments but getting what we ordered and paid for is impossible.

Fraudulent company
My fiance and I have been with Sprint for approximately three years, and have renewed our contract a few times in the course, as we have upgraded phones. Every now and then we'll have a glitch with the company, but as of late, things have gotten progressively worse.

About four months ago, we started getting charged for Jamster ringtones we never downloaded or authorized. We were instructed by Sprint that they weren't responsible for charges from third parties, and we had to pay the 6.99 and click unsubscribe on our account page at Sprint.com. We did so. Next month, same charges. The rep this time took off the charges and walked us through the same steps. Next month, same charges. The representative again told us he couldn't take the charges off, and we had to unsubscribe. I got irate, and told him what he was going to do-- take off the charges, and make sure the d--m thing stayed off. Needless to say, it didn't work. Contacting Jamster was near impossible, but finally I got through to a guy who spoke English about as well as my friend's Boston terrier. When I threatened legal action for fraud, he spoke English real nice and took the ring tones off. Funny, huh?

I thought it was over, but then guess what? We had a UPstage phone die! My fiance had replacement plan, though, and only had to pay 50 dollars to get it replaced. I think that's a rip, but it was clearly stated and he agreed to the terms. Long story short, they mailed us a new phone, but didn't properly instruct activation. We were getting messages from the Verizon network about unavailable services. Great, right? Various techs told me how I had done something wrong, and one girl ventured to tell me to remove the battery-- battery?! Anyone who has seen an UPstage knows they are built like an mp3 player-- that is, internal, unremovable battery. Real competent personnel, huh? I finally got someone who would listen instead of talk at me, and we figured out the problem-- we had been given the wrong codes to type in.

Well, this new phone would give us another kick in the pants when our bill came. It seemed they had taken off the text message package, the PCS vision package, everything that we had on that line when the phone was replaced. It doesn't make sense why they'd do that, especially as I had been assured they would NOT do that (call me paranoid, I suspected them by now). The man offered to take off the 20 something dollar charge for the packages being re-added and we would only have to pay the 29 something for the used text messages and the 60 something for internet. I politely informed him what he could do with that offer, and that the charges would all be taken off and the account set up correctly. I pride myself on being persuasive, and he fixed it. Good.

Well, the UPstage didn't seem to hold up to my fiance's abuse-- works on docks with freight-- and he wanted something a bit more pocket-friendly. He saw the Musiq and fell in love, so he got that one. The girl at the kiosk (we don't apparently have Sprint stores anymore in the world, given runarounds from the past) told him it was all set up, nothing would change, and there was no need to pay any upgrade fees as it would not be classified as an upgrade. Terrific! A few days later, the phone freezes, the outside buttons stop working. He consults the Sprint store here in town, and all they can do is try another battery in it. Nothing doing. He is told to take it back where he got it. Now, when we have had faulty phones in the past, we take them back, they give us a new one, no problem. The kiosk we had used, please shoot me now, was in a mall an hour away. We get there and the girl won't switch it out unless we have the box and everything, even though they have never asked for that before. New policy, apparently, so the fiance goes all the way back the next day to get his phone.

Now, that isn't the end of it. Our bill came.. and guess what was on there? Yes! TWO upgrade fees of 19.00!! Charges for text message use, as well as a text message plan-- apparently, plans don't cover use anymore? And here's to boot, the new plan my fiance had apparently signed up for with another non-English person was supposed to be unlimited messaging for both lines for 20? It was listed under my phone number, even though his is primary. Weird, no? Here's the clincher-- there was also a TWO HUNDRED DOLLAR equipment fee!! Needless to say, my happy little butt was on that phone in an instant.

Sprint apparently doesn't want our business, because I talked to no less than SIX people, all of whom told me different things about the text plans, several who refused to remove the upgrade fees (one who finally did), a few who wouldn't take off the text fees (ah, another finally did), two 'supervisors' who shouldn't work for an English speaking company and then get mad at ME when I can't understand them (snotty you-know-what, hope she's fired, I was being polite), and someone who suggested that we drive back to the kiosk with our credit card statement, the bill, and the phone and argue it with them. I was foaming at the mouth by this time, and came pretty close to smoking again and ruining my seven months nicotine free. The head honcho woman I finally got to said all she could do was remove the text messaging fee, the two charges for upgrades (which we shouldn't have had, and if we should have, there was only one fricken phone line with a new cell!), and open a case about the 200 bucks.

Funny thing is, the phone was 299.00 plus tax, I believe, which made it around 314 or so, give or take for my bad math. We paid with Capital One, the payment cleared. Where did an even 200 come from? Nobody seems to know. I thought maybe it was the battery, but my fiance popped that theory-- the girl at the store who tried a new battery never gave it to him to keep, never took his name or phone number, and never saw any identification. In other words, she couldn't have put it on a bill. As it stands, Sprint said they would look into it and contact US when they figured out what happened. All I have to say is, if they try to charge us late fees for nonpayment of SUSPENDED charges, I'm going to blow.

Terrible company
I called Sprint in Dec 2008 to ask when my contract would expire. I was told Feb 21, 2009. I said I wanted to ensure that my service ended on that date. I asked if I needed to call back on Feb 21st. They said no. The service would end that day. On Feb 24th the service was still active. So I called Sprint again. First they tell me I have to pay through the end of the billing cycle no matter when the contract ended. Huh??

Second because I have another phone on the line and it has another contract (that they failed to point out to me in December), I either have to pay $200 to cancel that line or continue to pay until Aug of 2009. I asked to speak to a supervisor. This guy was so rude. I asked why I wasn't told that when I called them in December. He answered 'If I tell you that a coin is a quarter, do I also have to tell you that it's 25 cents'.

He continued with other insults in this same vein. I was so shocked, I didn't know what to say. I was a Sprint customer for over 10 years and always paid my bill on time. Do I have any recourse here? Or do I just pay the $200 and thank God I don't ever have to deal with these insane people again?

Terrible company
Not only am I disappointed with Sprint's customer service/contract practice (if you change your plan you are in for another 2 years of bad service!) but this goes a lot deeper now. I have been a victim of identity theft because of sprint and they just give me the run around and no resolution.

This all started last August. I go to my mailbox to find letters from two different credit card companies asking for verification that I have opened accounts. I have not so I call up the companies and get the run around and get transfered from customer service rep to customer service rep. I cannot be given information about these accounts opened and it takes forever to get these accounts closed. I go and write a police report. I got out of one reps of the credit card company (a slip up because the frauds identity is always protected) that the address used to open the account was in Monroe North Carolina. The Orange Police department said they will give the case to the Monroe Police Department because the crime took place there. I check my credit, call back to ensure the accounts were indeed closed, hire a credit monitoring company, and put a temporary fraud alert on my credit. I hear nothing but a month or so later I get a call from the MOnroe Police department saying they are working on it. This has taken me away from my work for several hours, cost me lots of stress, and cost me money to run my credit and get monthly credit monitoring which I now have to do for the rest of my life. I think it is over, however, it is not.

Around Christmas I get a call from Bloomingdales asking if I had placed an order online. The order was for a little under $500 but a different shipping address was used causing warning flags with Bloomingdales. I did not place an order. A Bloomingdales account had been opened in my name along with a Macy's card. Two new accounts open. Again I must go through the hassle of getting these accounts closed. And I lose sleep. My fraud alert only lasted for 3 months so this is why this person was able to use my credit again. I go to the police, they say that since the account was opened online, even though a Monroe Address was used, they will handle the case this time. I get the feeling I am wasting my time writing a report because it seems that it has just been put in a big pile of 'not important' reports. I get a call from the Monroe police department in January. I let the Orange police know and they say not to talk to them...perhaps, they say, this person is the fraud. My sense of trust is getting skewed, who can I trust? They ask for the police officer who called me number which I give them and again I feel nothing is being done. I write a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Police says this is a waste and is only for statistics but I want to do all I can to protect myself. I know no one in Monroe North Carolina...how did this person get my info?

I find the answer in Early February. The Monroe police department calls me back and asks if I have a sprint account. I say I do. She says they think there is a connection. Late in February the suspect, a sprint employee, gets arrested. They find 13 victims information in her belongings. They are all sprint customers. This fraud was a sprint employee and accessed my social security number, address, birthday, name, and who knows what else through sprints records. I get a letter from the Monroe Police department saying my personal information had been found and a suspect arrested. It is still recommended that I check my credit and have it monitored because there is no telling who else has my info even though the suspects records had been confiscated. I am told after I inquire that the suspect is out on bail but I am told that she can get up to two years in prison for each victim (26 year maximum sentence for all 13 of us) her trial will not be for a year or so...

I get a call from Darsheen Mays, executive services for sprint on March 19th. She apologizes and says that perhaps my personal information was taken and I should check my credit... Geeze.. this all started in July and I knew about it since August...this is not new news to me. She apologizes for the inconvenience and lets me know that the sprint employee has been apprehended and fired. An apology, I say, this is it? Yes and if I wanted I could have a $25 sprint credit... A $25 sprint credit is an insult. .. I have been suffering with this for 9 months and I get offered a $25 credit...she goes on to say perhaps she can offer 1 year of credit monitoring for free but I need to switch to Sprints credit monitoring service... HELLO!! Sprint does not protect its customer's identity...how can I trust Sprints credit monitoring. No I say I deserve more and I do not want to change my credit monitoring service...and only 1 year.. I have to have my credit monitored now for the rest of my life!!! Who knows how many frauds have my personal info now because of Sprint's negligence... well thats all she can offer and no one was there to offer more... I could call back if I wanted...she gives me the number to executive services and says to ask for her. I have called twice more and left messages with no return call.

I call sprints customer service only to be hung up on then switched to several different departments all who say it is not their department and have no idea what I am talking about. When I call executive services they ask for a case number.. I was never given a case number... Darsheen does not answer her phone. I spend hours trying to get through to someone who can resolve this problem. Sprint insults me with their $25 credit offer... Is 9 months of my life worth $25 to them? Tells you how much sprint values their customers!!! I finally settle on telling one of the customer service reps to give my number to his boss and to have someone who knows about this matter to give me a call back... this was on Monday I am still waiting for a call back!

If you are a sprint identity theft victim or a lawyer who knows what I can do ...please contact me... This has been a nightmare that I cannot describe in words... All 13 victims should unite and maybe there is more? SPRINT obviously does not protect its customer's personal info which is apparent. This is the doing of 1 spring employee but perhaps there are others who have suffered this same thing from another employee. Sprint should be held accountable for their neglect ! Sprint customers Beware it can happen to you!

This is 1-9-09

P.S. I have now spent 7 hours of my day on this and I expect some type of recompense. What is it Sprint is going to do for me? I will now have to stay at my office till late in the night to get done what I have been unable to do wasting time with Sprint and going on worthless wild goose chases.


I am resending as I suspect this is not even a valid email.


So… I go to that store and guess what? They do not have the phone and even if they did said they would refuse to replace it for whatever reason. So I spend another hour at the store in customer service hell trying to find you and because you told me to erase the info on this phone before I turned it in, I no longer have that number you called me from. I spend the next hour and a half over there, and finally nothing is fixed. My phone is worse than when I started this day as I now no longer have data services since you did what you did. This is so unacceptable..


I need you to call me asap. 972-480-4117

Someone finally got on phone at tech support said what you did, upgrading phone to pro was undoable and I would NOT be getting that phone and best they could do was ship me out a new phone exactly like the one I have now.

I tell you, just when I think the level of incompetency has reached its max, someone at Sprint manages to raise the bar even higher. Amazing. This will make such a great news story. Three months and counting and still problem is not only not fixed, has become worse.

How many emails does it take to get you to respond to the fact you sent me on a wild goose chase yesterday, and have even disabled my phone further and walked away from it. I will not let this go. You sent me to Lewisville to pick up a new phone the HTC Pro and some how some way you will honor that agreement as you have made things exponentially worse. Now my phone is completely empty of data as you told me to erase all the data to my phone before I give it to them, and now because oof your actions I have zero data access on phone. I will take this to the highest levels of the Sprint corporate ladder. I also need from you the CEO of Sprints email address.

So finally I get a listing for what I hope is execs emails at sprint but hold little hope that any execs actually read it:
This is who I sent it to:

Moore, Valerie; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]

And This is what I sent:

This email is for Manager Valerie Moore but after repeated attempts to get a response, I am now including anyone and everyone in Sprint Executive Management so that maybe someday my phone will be fixed. Three months and counting and it is not yet and will make for a sensational news story.

Valerie,
How many emails does it take to get you to respond to the fact you sent me on a wild goose chase yesterday, and have even disabled my phone further and walked away from it. I will not let this go. You sent me to Lewisville to pick up a new phone the HTC Pro and somehow some way you will honor that agreement as you have made things exponentially worse. Now my phone is completely empty of data as you told me to erase all the data to my phone before I give it to them, and now because of your actions I have zero data access on phone. I will take this to the highest levels of the Sprint corporate ladder. I also need Dan Hesse’s email and not the auto responder one he deceptively includes in the TV commercial.



To Executive Management at Sprint:

In addition (and this is for any of the Officers that this email makes it to), I continue to be without the level of service I am guaranteed by the contract I have with Sprint. As we speak, someone with metropcs has my number and receives some of my calls and txt messages. How that is possible I do not know but there you have it. And this is the third time in less than 60 days it has happened. I was assured on Dec 18th it was fixed for good. And yet on New Years Day I get a call from a MetroPCS rep asking what I am doing with that number as she has given that number out to one of her customers… And that is still not fixed as we speak.

In addition, I have spent 111 hours of my time so far on this issue trying to get it resolved. That sounds impossible but it is oh so true. And that is the amount of time I have spent in direct contact with a Sprint representative. That does not include the time I have spent in trying to simply keep my phone working. That’s insane. And to date, it has only become worse. This is all very well documented and verifiable. I have kept meticulous notes and recorded conversations. Just yesterday I spent literally 10 and a half hours in nothing but Sprint chat, tech support hell and running wild goose chases for a manager that now refuses to respond. I have documented 29 blatant lies from CSR reps, and people that called themselves managers but in fact turn out to be coworkers sitting in next cubical. The list goes on and on and I will not rest till this is resolved.

I went into Sprint store and was considering an upgrade from my Treo 800. The overzealous salesperson talked me into the Instinct claiming it was exactly like the I-phone. I discover that evening it is NOTHING like the I-phone and is a substandard piece of equipment with many flaws and I take it back the next day. My intention at this point was to get a Blackberry. Again I listen to another salesperson and look at the HTC Diamond. I agree it is a clever phone and reluctantly agree to get that one but it has to be drop shipped from some secret location and so have to pay for it and hope it arrives in 7 or ten days. So I agree and he then puts my number back on my Treo and I wait for the HTC.


In fact, today alone I have called the escalation team 5 teams so far and I am told every time someone will call me back within 30 minutes and they never do. I believe that the Country should know just what Sprint is and what little they do for their customers. The management needs to change, the operational model in relation to service after the sale must change. The training from Management all the way down to the CSR must change. This level of incompetency I would never accept from any of my employees. And I will not accept it from a service provider either. Stay tuned as I will continue to update status of this nightmare.

Then I decide to send this one to same list as before:

Gentleman,

I apologize for the double emails, but in reviewing what I sent previous I discovered that I was somewhat ambiguous in my verbiage.

In regards to Manger Valerie Moore, Here is what occurred:

At 9:13am yesterday morning 01/09/2009, I bit the bullet and decided yet once again to see if I could get some resolve on my phone. Naturally I held little hope and yet decided to give it a whirl anyway.

I pull up the chat applet from your website, fill in the info and submit for a CSR to respond. Surprisingly someone named Marquita W responded in just a few seconds. But I am told to “stand by while we access your account.” That’s takes around 7 minutes then we proceed through the authentication process. Then I am finally able to address the main problem with her at 9:21 and tell her that once again my phone number has been issued out by MetroPCS and this is the third time in 60 days it has happened, and I want it fixed!

She responds with the ever so familiar “I do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.” That meaningless statement is uttered by every person at Sprint I have contact with and needs to be removed and not used at all. It is actually an insult in that it is said so much it has zero meaning. And the fact that nothing is ever done about my problem means that you truly aren’t sorry so that singular statement should be stricken from all CSR’s vocabulary. It has zero meaning.

So I continue, asking her to provide for me from the notes on my account what steps have been taken to fix the problem. She then proceeds to tell me a bold face lie. Tells me and I quote:

“Again, this matter must be looked at by the technical support department. There are not any notes regarding this matter due to you will have to be transfer to technical support so that your device can be troubleshooted.”

That is verbatim with incorrect syntax and all. I was like WHAT!? She is obviously doing what has been done so many times before and that is passing the buck to the next person. I ask her “There are no notes in front of you? Well dear, as it so happens that is a blatant untruth.”

She changes her story and says “The notes on your account state your issues…” I don’t need to say any more….. speaks for itself.

Anyway she drops me like a hot potato into the tech support queue at 9:34, where it sits for the next 4 and half hours…….

After about an hour or so, I pull up another browser and start over leaving the other one waiting. Go thru all the same security checks etc. Agent reviews account about the same as above, and this time I request a manager and after about an hour arguing with this person, someone comes in chat claiming to be a manager at first then claims to be team leader. After about another hour of getting nowhere and accomplishing nothing Valerie Moore comes in chat and says she is a manager and would help come up with a solution to fix my phone and account. She takes me through a programming sequence and at one point wants me to put the word SECRET in a hexadecimal field and obviously ASCII characters in a hexadecimal field will not work. Phone reboots and now I get error #71 and now I have no data access. I let her know and she finally calls me from what she claims is her private cell phone and tells me to go to a store with a service center and give them my phone and they will give me the HTC Pro and that she has put a $50 credit on my account to cover the cost difference between the two phones.

I ask her specifically if this is one of those deals where I will go there and get nothing but a hassle and waste yet more time out of my day. She assures me it is all set up and she also tells me to be sure I erase all my info from phone before handing it over.

I inform the person at the store that I was there to swap phones and told her to look at the notes in account. Well first of all, they don’t even have that phone and told me flat out that even if they did they weren’t about to swap it out with mine. And yet acknowledged the $50 credit for another phone. I tell them this was already set up or supposed to have been, and they tell me I can cal customer service and see whats up. I spend the next hour and half at the store trying to find this Valerie Moore to no avail. Now I have a phone devoid of all data, and no internet access and no one interested in fixing the prob. All this occurred in the 10.5 hours I spent dealing with this yesterday…..


When I get back to my office, I send an email to the email address she gave. Sent three in fact asking what she planned on doing now to at least fix the problems she caused. And one of the emails sent from me was asking if that email was even real and she responds back “Greg, yes it is real”

And that is the last I have heard from her since, even after sending her 6 or 7 more emails requesting some assistance

This is only the tip of the ice berg as there is so many similar situations.

It is so outrageous it almost sound like fiction does it not? Then I get this complete tome of lies from Valerie Moore on Monday:

Hello Greg,

I do apologize that your phone issue has not been resolved. I have not ignored your email however I do not work on the weekends and I leave @ 5:30PM throughout the week. I spoke with customer service on your behalf on Friday, I was advised that you have a warranty on your phone and we made the suggestion to swap your phone with the HTC Pro Touch. We were advised at that time that you were outside of the 30 day exchange and therefore they would give you a $150 upgrade credit but they would not be able to exchange the phone for free. After many attempts to correct the issue with our chat representatives as well as assistance from our Tech Support team It was then recommended that you take the phone to a Sprint store to have the phone checked & possibly swapped out however that would be at the discretion of the Stores management. As we advised on Friday, we cannot guarantee that the store will swap the phone out for you however you account had been notated of the issues you were having as well as the offers made to you by the customer service representative. At this time the options you have to get your phone issue resolved will be taking it to the repair center using the addresses provided to you on Friday or we can contact the insurance department & do an exchange. However the exchange will be for the same phone.

Thank you,

Valerie A. Moore

And I rapidly respond back with the following sending it to my “sprint list” of emails hoping someone will see it and take action:

“We were advised at that time that you were outside of the 30 day exchange and therefore they would give you a $150 upgrade credit but they would not be able to exchange the phone for free.”

That is a blatant lie. You told me specifically I would be able to take my phone down to that store and swap it and you had provided a $50 credit to cover the cost difference. This story about the $150 is a complete and outright lie. A utter fabrication on your part. Nothing was ever said to me about that. You never said anything to me about being outside the 30 day exchange period. You never said you could not guarantee that they wouldn’t swap it in fact I specifically stated “I DO NOT WANT TO GO DOWN THERE ONLY TO FIND OUT I HAVE YET ONCE AGAIN WASTED MY TIME AND NOTHING IS RESOLVED”. If there had been the slightest indication that they may not have swapped the phone I would not have even bothered going wasting yet more of my time on another fruitless endeavor with Sprint and their completely inept and useless customer service department. It is obvious you are trying to cover your own butt in this matter and you are bold face lying!

“We were advised at that time that you were outside of the 30 day exchange and therefore they would give you a $150 upgrade credit but they would not be able to exchange the phone for free.”

That is another complete and utter lie. I won’t even be civil and call it an untruth. You are lying to save your job I should imagine. Not one word was ever uttered to me about upgrade or $150 or anything else. Furthermore, after all I have been through if it had even been remotely suggested to me that I would have to fork out a penny more there is no way I would have gone to that store or even listened to anything else you had to say on the matter.

“After many attempts to correct the issue with our chat representatives as well as assistance from our Tech Support team It was then recommended that you take the phone to a Sprint store to have the phone checked & possibly swapped out however that would be at the discretion of the Stores management.”

Again another outright lie. There was no “possibly swapped out” or “phone checked” discussion. I would not have listened to that. You specifically called me, told me if I would go to a store with a service center, they would swap the phone and you had provided a $50 credit to that end to cover the cost difference. That’s it. I told you in no uncertain terms that after spending over 6 hours in chats with you guys my nerves could not handle any more crap and you assured me it would be a simple walk in and swap. That they would review the notes and everything would be fine. As it turns out that was the furthest thing from the truth as that little endeavor cost me another two hours of my time with absolutely nothing accomplished once again.

“As we advised on Friday, we cannot guarantee that the store will swap the phone out for you however you account had been notated of the issues you were having as well as the offers made to you by the customer service representative.”

Again yet another bold face out and out lie. You in fact did the opposite and did assure me the phone would be swapped. Because I can guarantee you that anything less and I would not even bothered going.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!! Just when I think Sprint has reached the pinnacle of ineptitude and the height of poor customer service, you guys somehow manage to raise the bar yet once again. This email is a complete and utter insult and offensive and that is why I am including the executives on cc so they have some idea of what is going on. And as of right now, I still do not have any data access on my phone because of the actions of Valerie Moore. This phone is completely useless and now the 2.5 gigs of data storage has mysteriously disappeared as well.

I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD THIS NOW BRINGS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF OUTRIGHT BLATANT LIES I HAVE RECEIVED FROM SPRINTS CSR DEPARTMENT TO 33 (thirty three).

This tidbit was with Monk: read from bottom to top but you can figure it out:

I don’t believe you are understanding me. I have had it. You guys are completely worthless in my view. You rip me off, take away 100+ hours of my life, stress me out, ruin my day again and again, lie to me, and are not even willing to give me what I am due, and that is compensation for paying for a service I did not receive? That is flat out larceny in my view. Might as well break in my house and steal money out of my wallet. And to add insult to injury, send me another refurbished broken phone…. Give me a break….


I do not want to talk to your worthless technical support department. They have never fixed anything yet and I don’t expect them to start now.


I want to know when I will receive a refund on this worthless phone and when I can expect to receive a refund on the last three months I paid full price for but did not receive the service I was guaranteed. Namely, that I would be the only one using that number. That don’t even include everything else. When can I expect that refund?


You can rest assured my new life mission is to bring this whole situation in to the light so that the whole country can see what kind of company Sprint is and how they take care of their customers by ripping them off and lying to them ad nauseum.

I am going to have this whole company switched to AT&T if I have anything to do with it and I have already have 4 other family members cancelling their contracts. I want my contract terminated as no fault as you guys are in breach. Not I. Yoou guarantee a level of service and you have certainly not met that, especially when I have had to have a phone on what is essentially a “TIME SHARE” with some other user. Anything less than what I have requested is unacceptable. My requests are a pittance in what I should get and could probably get if I were to choose yet another course of action

How say you? When can I expect a refund on phone and last three months bill and a no-fault termination of contract?

I sewnt this to Susan Eichenberger who worked on my account for a bit:

I have done my homework and it is clear Sprint keeps a whole slew of lawyers on retainer as they very well should. And not many people have had very much success suing you guys. HOWEVER, there have been a few wins lately and the judges are starting to see a pattern develop in Sprints business model, and you guys are starting to lose one case after another. I do not know if my nerves can handle going that route. I do know I have my end so well documented, calls recorded, paperwork in order in 2 files over 3 inches thick. Every chat log, every email. Every missed call and missed text that I have been able to verify was sent to me or that the person did call me as they would have record of the transaction on their end but it never made it to my device. You would literally be shocked to see that number just as I was. Then there are the 33 (thirty-three) outright blatant lies I have been told by one Sprint representative or another that is verified and documented. In fact, I am sure the number is much greater than 33, its just 33 that I can prove beyond any doubt and all that is 100% undeniable in every instance. The fact you guys have given my number away three times in less than three months, that too is undeniable and is fact on record. Me being without the level of service I have been paying for the last three months is also undeniable. Even if it was only because my phone only had 18 minutes of talk time, but in addition to that, I was sharing my number with someone else.

I was more than reasonable in “asking” (at first) that I receive at the least a 3 month credit on my bill, and the HTC Diamond Pro. I will give you this phone back which is brand new out of the box and is 4 days old. Wouldn’t that be much easier than everything else. Three months credit, to coincide with the three months I was without the level of service I was paying for and the HTC PRO and we will call it a day. Outside that, I want the three months refunded to me, a refund on this phone, and a “no-fault” cancellation of my contract so I can go with a different provider.

Doesn’t take much common sense to figure out which of these two is the wiser choice, but Sprint is not known for making wise decisions now are they. So what say you?

Naturally my offer that would have kept me with Sprint was declined. Should have taken it don’t you think? But Like Istated in that last email Sprint is not know for making wise decisions.

Then I send this email on the2-4-09:

Well you guys have done it again!!!

Once again my number has been given out to someone else. I left you a message and it comes as no surprise you havn’t called me back.

For the last two days I have been receiving calls for someone else and in addition I have been receiving calls because whoever else has my number is sending all kinds of crazy text messages to people. Totally inappropriate text messages.

What are you guys going to do to fix my account? This is going to make a sensational news story. I am going to contact the media about this. You guys have let another provider have my number 4 times in less than 4 months.

Minutes after sending that last email, I get a call from someone at Metropcs, so I send this email:

Well it is OFFICIAL now. You guys at Sprint are complete idiots! MetroPCS just called me and asked me why I had this number as it belongs to one of their customers. He wouldn’t give his name but he called from 972-242-7269. I am calling every news agency I can about this. I want a response and I want it now. This is 4 times this has happened. Four times in three months. What is it with you guys? I am going all the way with this one.

I think you know the rest of the story…. Now, do you think that is the story of a company doing good business?

FRAUD
I called Sprint not once, not twice, but three time to cancel our service in advance of the end of contract terms---the contract was up and I did not wish to renew. Of course, Sprint renewed the contract without my authorization and then charged a cancellation fee on top of a another month of service which was never used. I spent hours on the phone trying to have them cancel the contract and fees--they refused and turned over the account to collections. This company is completely corrupt and their customer service is a DISASTER. NEVER CONTRACT WITH SPRINT. I never paid the phony bill and will never do business with them again. I started a business later and enjoyed telling a sales rep for Sprint our business would never contract with Sprint under any circumstance...hope I can save someone else the same frustrations I had to endure with these crooks.

phone plans
you can never get the price that you are told by one rep. the next rep. will tell you oh we can not do that or we do not offer this anymore.then they will say well we can add that for 50.00 more.we bought new phones in march of 2008 and was told for 5 lines we would pay100.00 under a new plan.well no it was over 600.00 for that bill then we got that fixed and they now are changing the story agian this time the bill was like 150.00 for 5 lines and all the goodies included.no they shut off are 2-way not in this plan or for 50.00 we can add it.not what we told by the rep. again.they have no clue what they are doing.we are done as soon as contrat is up.we can go to most any now and have getter service.oh yeah that is why we even got the new phones we were to have better service.what a joke.they suck since they went sprint nextel.
Kylie January 8, 2009
Scam and stealing
I don't know where else to go. I have talked to a total of 10 reps. I am a new customer, On Thursday 11/13/2008 I had looked into getting cell phone service. I did the auto chat to make sure my credit card would not be charged till after the credit check went thru. The rep told me no it would not be charged. But guess what it was. So I immediately turned around and called and canceled the service.

Since that day I have nothing but problems getting my money released off of hold. I was advised when I called in after talking to 3 reps and being transferred all over the place that it would be refunded within 24-72 hours. So I waited, 72 hours came and went and Sunday still no money. So I called yet again, customer service said they can't help and transferred me to accounting, accounting gave me the same speech, so I requested a supervisor.

I didn't get a supervisor I got cold transferred to Telesales, who also said oh you have to go to accounting. I told them I was just at accounting and they told me they couldn't help. So yet again I asked for a supervisor. She came on the phone apologized said she couldn't do anything either and then I got transferred to escalation, and guess what they couldn't help me either, she said let me work on it and I will give you a call back Monday with it fixed.

Here we are Tuesday, no money in my account, and surprise no call back from escalations. I called yet again, now after 10 reps this one mentions this form that needs to be filled out to release the money, because it should have been release, why do you think I keep calling!!! This is poor customer service and management. I was disgusted by how I was treated and yet they still have a hold on my money for no apparent reason because I canceled the service 5 days ago, and according to my calculation that's more than 72 hours to hold my money wouldn't you think?

Update: I sent an email to the vp office got a call from Minnie Sanchez on Weds she again apologized for this issue and promised fix with in 24-72 hours, today is Friday and I called back, oh nothing as been reported as fixed, give her till 5pm. I asked for her supervisor and at first she argued about it. Then she transferred me to a Ross Born his title is Senior Anaylist. I asked what he does there, his answer was I am not going to sit here and run down my list of duties, and he can't do anything to push it thru, and of course he wouldn't allow me to go above his head. So yet here I am a week later, no money back and still have no answer. I did call my credit card company, their answer was until sprint actual makes the charge and not have it pending they can't do anything about it either!! So sprint still has my $111.92.
