Sorry for this non book related post, but I just had to share this with my fellow Litsy friends. So someone in OR decided to purchase 4 iPhone X using my wireless phone account. I live in IL, so I have no idea how the ATT thought it was perfectly normal that I would order 4 iPhones for my account and ship them to OR. Anyway, just letting you all know what the latest scam is so you are on the lookout. #ScamAlert
TheBookAddict Since they have a promotion that you don‘t have to make a down payment or pay it all in full, you won‘t see a huge bill for the purchase. It is actually a monthly payment agreement of about $33. So just be on the lookout. I had a $33 X 4 charge increase on my account so I definitely noticed it. Ugh, people are just unbelievable. 6y
TheWordJar People need better things to do! 😠 6y
TheBookAddict @TheWordJar exactly! I was extremely mad when I realized what was happening, I even started sweating even though I had previously needed a blanket while on my couch. So I immediately contacted ATT. They‘re trying to track where the order originated from and who received the phones. Each phone is about $1150, so they‘re determined to get to the bottom of it. 6y

TheBookAddict @JoRead 👍🏽 6y
Cinfhen That‘s crazzy! Anyone ordering 4 phones at that price should raise the red flags! Sorry for the hassle but glad u caught it early on. 6y
TheWordJar Ugh! So sorry this happened! I had an incident earlier this month where I had to put a fraud alert on my credit report and get new credit cards issues. It makes you feel violated, and I just wonder, “Why????” I hope they get to the bottom of this soon for you! 6y
TheBookAddict @Cinfhen my thoughts exactly! 6y
TheBookAddict @TheWordJar exactly! It‘s just terrible. It makes you feel so vulnerable. We had someone use our bank account and my husband‘s name to subscribe to some service so we had to close our bank account and open a new one. It‘s just crazy. 6y
CocoReads Ack! So sorry this happened. I‘ll keep an eye on my phone bill. 6y
AmyG Thanks for the heads up. We have had our credit cards compromised quite a few times. Very scary. 6y
megt Oh no! I‘m so sorry that happened. I‘ve had fraudulent charges on my credit card more than once. It‘s always nerve wracking when you first discover it, but I‘m glad to hear AT&T is working in this for you. 6y
SilversReviews Oh my. Did they get it resolved? And you were not responsible for charges? 6y
TheBookAddict @SilversReviews after quite some time on hold they were very understanding and got it all squared away. @megt it is very scary. Yes, thank you I am glad they didn‘t make it seem like it was my fault. @AmyG you‘re welcome. @CocoReads 👍🏽 6y
SilversReviews Good all is ok. 6y
