I had an awful experience with Verizon today and was given false information about a sim card price which led to me getting signed up with them which I hadn't intended to do. I'm out $42.50 even though I don't have and don't want service with Verizon and plan on keeping my current carrier.
A fast-talking and dishonest sales person also didn't want me to go to the local Verizon store which raised one of many red flags. I went anyway and they were concerned about his tactics and encourage me to file a complaint. When I tried to, 40 minutes of waiting for a supervisor didn't get me anywhere.
When I finally talked to this particular sales person's supervisor she didn't think he'd one anything wrong and was going to listen to our recorded conversation which I found creepy, especially since he had called me.
Hopefully, I'll get the sim card, bring it to a local Verizon center and this charge will be deleted from my credit card. But this encounter with Verizon has been grueling and makes me think they're skirting if not blatantly misrepresenting the truth.
Red flags for Verizon all around.
