Went to a cingular wireless store to purchase a cell phone. To my suprise when I received the first bill I was charged for the phone again. Why? Well the cingular store is not really cingular it was actually an elephant wireless store selling cingular phones. Not only did I get charged by both companies I was charged for two set-up fees by both and also taxed by both. Is this legal?
There was no indication that the store was owned by another company the Cingular logo was the only logo apparant and that was the name of the store... Cingular Wireless. I am investigating this more because I do not feel it is right to pose as a legitimate store and really not even be Cingular Wireless. Talk about false advertisement. In the end I ended up paying $300 for a phone that should only have cost me around $100. I feel violated. And when a store is not Cingular Wireless they should indicate that so I can find a real store!
