Re: hmmm It's because of junk "news" like this that I place so little credibility in BBR's "reporting" and mostly hang out in the social/tech support forums.
Ironically, another story is also being pushed off as legitimate journalism today:
»FBI Gets DS3 Backdoor Into Verizon Wireless Network?
They accept at face value the word of every unnamed disgruntled employee...anonymous sources...unknown bloggers: Does BBR bother to independently verify anything or do they just cut-and-paste any vaporous rumor that fits their "all big companies & the government sucks" bias?
I'd probably not be as cranked if BBR would be honest enough to post these items as editorials and not factual news reports.

What I expect BBR to do is what any legitimate journalist would do: Verify the information. For example, a comment from a company spokesperson (not some service rep at an 800 number), or an actual customer bill showing the charge.
And why not a screen shot? So what if it's proprietary? They can be submitted anonymously. If some nameless "disgruntled employee" is going to make the claim they could at least have the balls to back it up with something.
If you want to be in the "I saw it on the internet so it must be true" crowd, then that's your business. I prefer to get my news from sources that at least put half-assed effort into validating the "facts" they are reporting.

Oklahoma City, OK | I was just about to post you a screenshot but then I got a better idea. Since all employees are being instructed to educate customer on the payment administration fee you should just call that 800 number. Its 800-331-0500. Ask if the bill payment fee is going to happen. Then call back until your heart's content.
This is already happening in the southeast market which is in line with the memo and verified by one of BBR's users.
said by cleezee:This is already happening, not waiting until May. I track ATT voice tariffs - it was just filed yesterday for Ohio (effective as of 3/3). Other states filed and listed effective dates as early as last year. But, you can still pay online, at the 1-800 #, or by mail, all without the Convenience Fee. So remember before you call BS on something please take the to understand it just may very well be true. Have a wonderful day! |
