"Free" Ipad scam

Unfortunately, it seems that many of us fell victim to the bait and switch advertising technique regarding the current promotional plan which includes a "free ipad". My first thought was this is just too good to be true but I fell for it. I am currently working on returning my "free" device, getting a refund, and cancelling all Xfinity products that I currently have. The amount of time that it has taken me to just get in touch with a live agent is deplorable. Xfinity/Comcast was once one of the only TV and internet providers but times have changed and in order to keep their current clients and attract new clients they engage in deceitful advertising schemes like this one. If you reached out to Xfinity about a current issue with your plan and you were offered an ipad with a one time shipping and activation fee of around $55 please let me know. This "free ipad" was part of a current promotion they had going on which helped lower my Xfinity internet. It did indeed lower my internet but then I was hit with a separate charge for a $499 ipad and it now says i owe installments. This will be a class action lawsuit as I have already spoke to an attorney. If you google this scam it has happened to many people and it should not continue. If you are interested in participating in this lawsuit please let me know. Thank you!

Just realized I too was scammed. Either I could reduce my service to $176 a month or $140 with a free iPad. I explained I didn’t need an iPad but was assured this was their best deal. Then I find out there’s shipping and activation fees. Today I learn I’m now signed up for a $60 a month phone/data line. Never told that was part of the FREE iPad deal.
