      identity Fraud - I have taken numerous steps and spoken to multiple people at Boost including customer service and fraud department. Each time I am told they are working on this issue and someone will be in touch with in a week or so. This journey began in December of 2023. Since then nothing as been resolved and I have requested to speak with someone in charge on almost every occasion. I have sent multiple emails and uploaded the identity theft affidavit as requested and filed a police report.12/09 - I received an email from boost infinite confirming an order for aprox $4800. I immediately called ***** Fargo to cancel my card.12/10 - I received an email from boost infinite saying my order shipped. I immediately called Boost and reported the incident. Spoke to the *********** and requested urgently that they do not release the order because I did not order the phones. order# ****-558546-0911 using my name and email ********************* The order was going to an address in ******** unknown to me.********************************************* (identified on the email that was sent to me)12/11 - Police report filed with **************************** # ******** since then I have made monthly calls to boost. I called each time I received another Bill from them.Each time requesting my name to be removed from the account and to cancel my account.Last month I waited on the line for 45 minutes to speak to someone in charge, finally they said someone will definitely call me back before that day. I never heard from anyone.I am frustrated and don't know what to do to get this resolved. I'm concerned they will ruin my credit or file for collections when I am the one that is the victim here.I also, am concerned it was so easy for someone to create a fraudulent account and order $4800 worth of phones without any security red flags.

      Dear **************:

      On April 18, 2024, we received your complaint, dated April 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You expressed concern that you are a victim of identity fraud. You said you received a confirmation email for a $4,800.00 order that you did not authorize, and then another email saying the order had shipped. However, you never received it, as it was sent to an address other than yours. You also continue to receive monthly bills. You indicated that you have filed an ID theft affidavit with us and a report with your police department, but you have not heard back from our ID theft team. You would like this to be resolved, as you are concerned it will affect your credit.

      Our records show your affidavit was received and approved,and an email (copy enclosed) sent to ******************** on January 21, 2024, regarding the next steps you should take. The account in question has been canceled, brought to a zero balance and a $33.33 refund issued to the card used to make this payment. Please note, you will not receive any more bills or be sent to collections,and this should not affect your credit.

      We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

      If there are further questions or concerns about this issue, please feel free to contact me at **************.

      I have a family plan, and they suspended a line without explaining why, and now they want me to pay the monthly bill and they don't want to delete the value of the line that I'm not using. In addition to not being able to use the line, they still want me to pay without using it. This is fraud and embezzlement. When you don't pay the bill they interrupt. They suspended my paid line and now they want me to pay for the entire plan or I won't use any of the other lines. I've called several times and gone to the stores and they repeat the same thing, that I have to send emails to find out but I have to pay while I'm not using it.

      You said a line was suspended without authorization on your family plan. You expressed frustration with having to pay the full monthly bill while having suspended lines. You requested this line be unsuspended.

      My attempts to contact you on April 26, 2024, at ************* were unsuccessful, as the line is suspended and the call did not go through. I also sent emails to ************************ and ************************* on April 25 and 26, 2024, with a request that you contact me.

      Dishonest company. He didn't refund my money that he charged after the lines weren't working and You still have the audacity to say that you tried to contact me even though I don't have the lines. Bad service, arrogant and malicious. Do you know what happened, I already explained that there is no spam at all and even That's how you rob people. But I think that a process with all the evidence, call records and call recordings will prove how you act with dishonesty and illegality. As long as it doesn't hurt your pockets, you'll continue robbing people. Boost mobile is the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of having a telephone line.

      I got with this cell phone company back in January of this yr (maybe beginning or mid jan) and i realized i was having isues with the service a little over a month in. I switched from my previous carrier and decided to go with them and they were having a promotion that said i would receive a "free" iphone 15pro in exchange for the service which meant that i didnt have to pay a monthly fee for the total balance of the phone. The problem is i've been having issues with my service. EVERY call thats made or received eventually drops to the point where i just use a random app that im able to make calls on by using wifi. This service is really bad and i've spoken to many reps over the past 2 months. And they are only telling me to keep waiting while technical team looks for the problem and something about towers. And that if i want to cancel i can but i now have to pay the full remaining balance for the phone which is almost $1,000. I've been reaching out to multiple ppl and have been getting the same answer.

      On April 18, 2024, we received your complaint, dated April 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that in January 2024 you set up an account; however,after a month you started to notice the services were not working properly. You mentioned that you were provided an offer for a free iPhone 15 Pro. You spoke with customer care numerous times, but received no assistance. You said you were told that if you canceled the account, you would have to pay the remaining balance owed for the device, which is close to $1,000.00. You requested to either return the device or for it to be unlocked so you can switch providers.

      A review of your account reflects that your services were set up on January 2, 2024. Your first complaint to us regarding technical issues was not until March 16, 2024. Please note that on April 4, 2024, you were provided with $60.00 in account credits.

      You said that upon inserting the Boost Mobile *** card your device registers as network locked and you are advised to contact us.

      When I called you today, you transferred the call to your son *******.While on the phone, I initiated the unlock sequence and he inserted the *** card and received the same message. We tried two additional phones, but both are TSA Unlocked. I explained that each of them was unlocked by us, but also required a second unlock command to be sent by T-Mobile; however, due to the age of the phones, they might not unlock. ******* decided to purchase a new phone, and I advised him I would unlock it immediately waiving the 12-month requirement. He agreed to this resolution.

      I ordered a phone from the Boost Mobile website on 4/8/2024. The incorrect address was in their system. I called and asked the *** to cancel the order because the package would be delivered to the wrong address on file. ***s refused to cancel the order or issue a refund, instead suggesting a package intercept via **** I attempted a package intercept but was denied because Boost Mobile has a restriction on rerouting packages to new addresses. After numerous attempts to receive the product, Boost Mobile refuses to rectify the situation by either giving me a refund or sending the phone to the correct address. For me to even get a refund I have to return the product, but I cannot return a product I do not physically have. On 4/15/2024 I contacted Boost Mobile again in an attempt to rectify the situation. I was told an investigation would be started to fix this mishap. And was told it would take 72 hours to complete. I contacted Boost Mobile on 4/18/2024 and once again, I was told there was nothing they could do. Today I was told that even if I updated my address in their system, the package would still go to the previous address because my billing address isn't the same as when I created the account. They refused to cancel the order the moment I realized the address hadn't been updated to the new one. They refused to offer me a refund once I called and explained the situation to them, I am out of a phone and I am out of $211.99.

      I do not believe Boost Mobile will respond to you. I've reached out to Boost Mobile about their corporate offices and they still have yet to respond to my matter. But I will leave it in your hands until I figure out what to do next. If possible, every interaction that I've had with their customer service has been recorded for quality assurance and training purposes.

      On April 18, 2024, we received your complaint, date April 18, 2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You said that you ordered a phone from our website on April 8, 2024, but it was sent to the address used to open the account. You said that you made multiple attempts to correct the issue, but representatives indicated they could not assist you. When you contacted **** per our policy regarding rerouting deliveries, they could not do anything either.

      A review of your account confirms the order placed on April 8, 2024, was shipped to ********************************************. To prevent fraudulent purchases, orders are shipped to the account holders original address. Since the device must be returned before a refund can be issued, which is not possible in this circumstance, I recommend that you file a dispute with your card issuer.

      You said you have yet to receive a refund owed to you. You indicated that several tickets were submitted, but they continue to be denied.You want the refund.

      Our terms and conditions state that if you purchase a discounted device from us it must be activated within 30 days, or you will be charged the **** of the device to the credit card/payment method we have on file.

As the chargeback interrupted the service, a payment was required to restore it, which you made on March 21, 2024, for $249.12.

      On April 18, 2024, a refund of $249.12 was initiated to the card ending in 3595.

      I purchased a new cellular phone from this business and quickly discovered that it was a "lemon". The screen will randomly lock, when I did not install a lock screen. The screen will vibrate and the phone is temporarily useless. Usually the voice text feature will insert punctuation when I speak punctuation, but sometimes it spells the word out instead. It does not hold a charge well. I returned to the store less than 2 weeks after the purchase. I simply wanted the problem fixed or the phone swapped out for one that worked correctly. The guy took the phone, looked at it and told me he didn't want to mess with it and I should go home and read my owner's manual. The problems are clearly not operator error.

      Dear ****************:

      On April 17, 2024, we received your complaint, dated April 16,2024, filed with the Better Business Bureau.

      You stated that you experienced technical issues with a new phone you purchased at a Boost Mobile retail store. You returned to the store about two weeks later, and they refused to exchange it for you. You requested to exchange the device.

      All ******************** retail stores are independently owned and operated, and set their own policies regarding returns/exchanges. Boost Mobile cannot exchange products purchased through a retail store, and we recommend that you return and speak with the store management regarding an exchange.

      Please note, we are not the manufacturer of the device and the issues you mentioned are device or software-related. Please contact the device manufacturer for assistance with a warranty claim.

      Sincerely,
