Description

Spectrum called me saying my cable box needed an up grade. asked ne to turn off tv and unplug box at wall then "started" upgrade to which they added since i was a senior and a good customer they were going to apply a senior discount to my billing reducing it to $125 per month to which i said that sounded good then transferred me to someone else who then said it was a offer made through Target and i would have to pay my first bill with the Target card they would provide me. When i told them i did not want a target card they said the only way to get their service was with target. They said then i would not have service anymore.
