FREE Smart Watch are FRAUD Offers

DO NOT TAKE THE FREE SMART WATCH OFFER!! What a scam. They've been charging me a device fee from the get go!! I've now got 2 "free" watches because 3 weeks ago they said to return the first watch to the Xfinity store and the store said no they can't take it, I've had no less then 3 hours of phone calls about false promises and lies from Xfinity. You lie saying it's free then charge me for the device, you lie about activation period, you lie about letting me return the watch and want to send me a new one and just send the first watch back. Lie again. I've spent hours on the phone with Xfinity. I'm seeking assistance from my bank and looking into legal action. I cannot believe the horrendous customer service Xfinity offers. I will not be sad to end this relationship soon.

I am going to say this for the millionth time on this forUm and then I'm never saying it again… If you do not see the offer on the website, it is not legit! PERIOD! No employee has the authority to give a free watch or a free phone and I will never understand why people don't get that.

I am going through the exact same thing. I am paying but it is not over till over. I have a number to call tomorrow but I copied and saved all chat transcripts. I have been fighting with this a couple months now. I spoke to magistrate about a small claims suit so taking one more step tomorrow. Trouble is I have many hours of calls and chats invested in this . I am a very busy guy its getting ridiculous. I can move to another carrier but I do not want this to affect my credit. I did NOT want a smart watch in the first place, It was basically shoved down my throat as being "totally free for being a diamond member".

They push the smartwatch [Edited: "Language"]. It’s obvious the “agents “in some foreign country are getting kickbacks for every smart watch they sell.  

The “agent “lied to me.  I specifically asked if there any hidden costs. Absolute no is the answer. Push, push, push he did.  I did not bite because he was pushing way too hard.

I now see that this entire thing is a scam. of course, it would impact my bill. He absolutely lied to me should be fired.  Xfinity corporate for pushing this lie [Edited: "Political"]

unbelievably unethical!!

@user_7f6edc​ thank you for taking time to reply to this post, we are always looking for ways to improve as a company and appreciate feedback on where we can improve. I always recommend to customers to check out the Xfinity Mobile website: https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/ , any current device promotions will reflect online. 

There will also be the breakdown of requirements needed to qualify: some may require a new line of service, porting of number, keeping service for an allotted time frame, etc. The other spot I've seen device promotions are through Xfinity Rewards: https://www.xfinity.com/rewards, but must be redeemed and follow the steps outlined to qualify. 

We also have customer approval forms when placing orders, so always recommend to read and review the details of the agreement before accepting.
