    On June 23 2023, Visted a local maxsip telecom " authorized agent" aka street vendor. His name is ***** onterveros he told me it was **********************(( famous boxer))??? He offered to sell me a good looking phone for *****$. I offered him *****. he says he would have did that deal (*****) but it was his LAST phone. So I gave him ***** and he begins filling out a shipping slip. I asked why he needed to fill that out? He says since it's his last phone he's going to have them ship me one in 3-5 business days. I exclaimed he had one in his hand and that it was his last one!! Well he proceeded to write he out a receipt and that i was good as gold. That I'd receive the phone not to worry!! I paid cash. I haven't seen a phone since then from him or Max ***** and I had to purchase one for ***** from another street vendor. I have been in contact with *** ship who keep saying they are going to escalate this issue with NO return call and NO refund!! This is highway fraud and robbery.

    I bought a tablet from this company and when the charging port went out I was told my account was deemed inactive because I have the internet through a different company. If I want to keep the tablet it will be $67.00 just to keep the tablet without the company's inter. When I asked for a refund of the tablet I was refused. All this information was not told to me when I made the purchase. In addition, this company came into the building I live in which is strictly for handicapped people, which I am one of and took money for the tablets from a bunch of handicapped people. This company is disgusting and very fraudulent.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and decided after reviewing not only the BBB reviews of other persons who listed their experiences on BBB but also after my experience of utilizing their great looking phone; which did nothing but glitch, freeze and jump from the screen I was on to the main menu over and over again, that this was not the company I wanted to deal with. I went to Assurance wireless which I was trying to get their service till a vendor said I could qualify for this provider.

    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:


    Signed up for the "Govnt Cheese" phone system in May '22. As the agent I later found out to be greedy he (rightly so)charged $20 for the tablets but wanted to get money for the phones also which are supposed to be free. After finding out the phone has issues (along with the service) I contacted him at the Food Stamp/ social services bldg where he hangs out. He lied and said he will buy back the phone fm me for his son which he never wanted to do. Last time I contacted the BBB the rep stated I would get a check in the mail for the phone as I tried to get a refund. I would receive it in 10 to 20 days. That was June still have not seen any $$!

    Today is May 16, 2023. I found out that someone had fraudulently signed up for an account using my information for Maxsip. Hence, I reached out to Maxsip and have explained the situation and advised that that I wanted to be "unenrolled" from their company. The customer service did not provide me any solution at all, instead wasted my time. I do not want any part of my information with them. Please unenroll me from your program and erase all of my personal information.

    I ordered a android tablet from ****** telecom on 4/02/23 for a copay price of $20.00 with free internet, which was taken from my debit card at that time. I received a thank you e-mail with no transaction number of copay or correspondence to when tablet would be received. Please check this out to prevent other elderly and low income families from being scammed, Thanks

    On March 25, 2023 I found that that someone fraudulently signed up for an account using my information. I reached out to Maxsip explained the situation and advised that that I wanted to be "unenrolled". After giving me the run around, they stated that I would receive a confirmation email within 2 business days. When asking for a confirmation for the call, they stated they were unable to provide it. I only managed to get the order/customer #: *******. It is now March 31, 2023 and I have yet to receive this confirmation. I find it suspicious that this account has been active since August 2022 and I have never received the "free tablet" or internet services they allegedly offer. I am not interested in doing business with this company and I am requesting that I be "unenrolled" immediately, and a confirmation letter be sent to my email.

    I was told that I could get a discount on my internet through affordable connectivity program, and the website said I could get a tablet, I payed the fee for it and yet they never sent it out. I talked to a lady on the phone and they said the service I signed up for was cancelled so they won't send the device out... but the thing is, I never cancelled anything. I feel like they just took my money and ran. I want the tablet I paid for, I feel scammed.
