  My mother got the free government tablet and it hasn't worked since she got it. I called customer service and was told to text pictures of the tablet to ************* I do so on December 27th. When pictures were received I was suppose to get return label sent to my email. I never received and return label. I called again and they would not talk to me without my mother's consent (I don't live with my mother but I got her to give consent so I could speak on her behalf. I was told I would receive email with return label. Nothing again. I did this 5 times, everytime I had to go to my mothers and get consent even though she gave it several times already. The last call after getting consent yet again I got a ticket number (ticket number #***********) so I would not need to go thru this hassle again, and I was assured I would receive return label thru email. Nothing again after several day waiting. Called yet again to try to get this resolved, agent said they would not help unless I got mother's consent for the 6th time. Asked to speak to a supervisor and agent said do I want to wait for over an hour to speak to a supervisor I said yes and the agent hung up on me. And the agent would not even look into the ticket I had she just hung up.

  On Saturday, January 20th, **** between 3-4 p.m., a free phone issued through Maxsip started forwarding all my calls to their office, where I was advised due to a system glitch my sim card was no longer working, and I needed to be issued a new one, I was given a tracking #, and told I would receive a new sim card by January 26th. I contacted the company and was told by a new agent that the request was only submitted as of 1/23/24, and I had to wait another ten days for delivery, I requested the tracking number of the shipping carrier and was told they couldn't provide one, because they have an internal shipping company, which still does not provide clarity as far as tracking. When I informed them I felt I was being misled, that I didn't believe a sim card was being issued, and that I was recording my call due to bad business practices, the Supervisor hung up the phone. I feel they are taking government funds and not providing services. I have tried to cancel my service with them since this encounter and continually had the phone call dropped.

  In March 2023, I enrolled with the *** phone service /internet program. It is offered through government low income services. I selected a company named *** ******** but they offered very little data. I responded to a Maxsip Telecom ad on social media, because they offered additional data. I did NOT know that I could not have two service providers, until over a month later, when my internet service was interrupted. In April 2023, I asked Maxsip to de-enroll me, since they had NOT provided me ANY internet service to date, although I had been a client for 6 weeks or so. They FAILED to send me the sim card needed to provide my data. 4 months and 22 phone calls later, They STILL had NOT de enrolled me, although they told me they had. *** and TRU Connect both verified that they had NOT de enrolled me. Finally, when I threatened to report them in late August 2023, they de enrolled me, only to RE ENROLL me WITHOUT my authorization, a few weeks later. Again, I threatened to report them, which I did and they de enrolled me. On December 7, 2023, Maxsip RE ENROLLED me AGAIN without my authorization. Each time they do this, I have to start the ENTIRE application process over and I am without internet for 3 weeks, while my application processes. I called Maxsip, after reporting them to the **** I told them to de enroll me and they assured me they did NOT enroll me on December 7. Once I told them that I reported them they changed their tune and apologized for RE ENROLLING me. On January 9, ****, Maxsip RE ENROLLED me AGAIN, constituting UNAUTHORIZED USE OF PERSONAL INFO (SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER) and UNAUTHORIZED transfer of benefits and funds. Not to mention, LYING about it 3 times!

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:nswer Here]

   Maxsip Telecom has NOT made equitable restitution for the unauthorized use of my personal information and transfer/misuse of my government issued benefits, which constitutes FRAUD. Over a period of 9 months, Maxsip REPEATEDLY violated FCC codes, as well as my consumer rights. In addition, I was forced to pay for private transportation to and from the public library,  sometimes missing  deadlines for pertinent responses, such as job interview invitations and other important meetings. This cost me well over the amount they tendered of $100. Also, I insist that Maxsip Telecom be fined and sanctioned for their egregious, unethical and unprofessional behavior.

   

   

   

  In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

  MaxSip company used my information to create an account to collect my *** discount. I found this out because my current internet subscriber, ********, said I was kicked off of the *** discount on January 8th because MaxSip was using my information for a discount. I have never heard of MaxSip and whoever signed me up for an account with them did so fraudulently. I called *** to report this and got a new account number. I called ******************** and told them to cancel whatever fraudulent account was created using my information. I am still waiting for the account to be cancelled. I called ******** to re-sign me up for the *** discount with them when MaxSip finishes the cancellation. What a day! Please call me if you need further information. When I spoke with MaxSip on the phone they said someone came in person to them to sign up with my information for an account. I have no idea who would have done this or why. Please investigate this, and MaxSip. They sounded very fishy when I was on the phone with them. I have a feeling THEY used my information to sign up for a fraudulent account to collect my *** discount. Thank you so much for your help.

  Hello, I am a customer with HughesNet for internet service. I am also ACP verified as eligible for benefits. I received an email from HughesNet stating my service is set to be cancelled because I transferred my service to Maxsip Telecom Corporation. I did not do this, and I want to remain with HughesNet. I had no idea this company hijacked my account. Please help. My account with HughesNet is #SAN ************* This company is unscrupulous and sneaky, taking advantage of lower income citizens. I have never heard of this company, but yet they stole my ACP benefit without my knowledge, authorization or permission.
