I ordered a remote control airplane $3995. It took several weeks to arrive and it is the worst piece of c**p I have ever seen. It was a foot smaller than the one in the advertisement. It was silver and not red white and blue. AND IT WAS NOT REMOTE CONTROL.! am mortified. The packaging was beaten up like it was 20 years old. I have had it with these scammers...

I received this message also, right after I'd made a legitimate on-line payment to Consumer Cellular. I suspect one didn't have to do with the other, but the timing was suspect.

The female scammer calls about unsuccessful at and t was not successful. I got it again this week. This voice is the same on the computer refund scam and the social security number scam. The tramp needs to be jailed.

This is a SCAM. Do NOT fall for it! If you call this number, it states that your debit card was UNsuccessful and to leave the new card number. I got this text today and the criminal is stating they're from ATT. I called ATT AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS IDIOT(S).
