Scam call about replacement phone leads to fraudulent delivery
Called stated he had my replacement phone and he was going to send it to me by UPS. The phone came the next day and I took it to AT&T to help me set it up and was told they didn't send this phone out to me and that that phone call was a scam. Apparently someone orders the phone and when the customer is not home UPS drops off the phone outside and someone is waiting to pick up the iPhone that was ordered.

AT&T advertisement for the 5G coverage is a dishonest and false!
AT&T persuades Verizon & T-Mobile customers to switch to AT&T wireless by presenting a false 5G map coverage!
I'm one of them, a customer who was assured by AT&T agent at Costco booth that AT&T 5G coverage is fantastic and works much better than Verizon. Guess what, it does NOT work!
AT&T map shows the best 5G+ coverage at my work location at Point Mugu in 93042 zip code.
Check it out for yourself before you attempt to switch to AT&T.
My Samsung S23 phone shows the best signal-strength but it does NOT connect to any AT&T towers near by!
It does NOT allow switching to 4GLTE mode either. After a few seconds it displays "No Internet Connection".
Basically, I paid for a cheap AT&T walky-talky because it has absolutely no data download capability.
I contacted AT&T customer service to inquire about how much their internet service would cost. They transferred me to sales and they told me they needed to check to see if I qualified for a discount based on my social security number and date of birth which would be safeguarded and would not be shared with anyone. A few minutes later, they told me I was qualified and needed approval to create my new account and send a technician to install the modem. I told them that I'd need to check with my spouse first before anything could be started. As soon as I hung up the phone, I received emails from AT&T about the date/time the technician would come out to install and review my order. I called AT&T customer service back and they told me I'd spoken with their third-party sales and they were sorry for the misunderstanding. They also said the third-party sales department had no affiliations with AT&T company and that I should have known better to give out my personal information like SSN and date of birth to a stranger. I felt betrayed and led wrong. I've heard people complaint about AT&T services but now I see why.
