hehehehehe Many years ago I got two simultaneous offers--one per phone
line--from AT&T. These were checks for $100; according to the very fine
print on the back, my cashing the check was authorization for AT&T to
switch me to their long distance service.
I happily did so, knowing full well I had a long-standing PIC freeze on
each line.
Sure enough, my LD provider never changed.
A couple months later I got an angry call from some manager at AT&T. He
knew what the story was, but he was doing his damnedest to make me
change over. I toyed with him a few minutes, laughed, and hung up.
Boy, was he mad.
And I had $200 in my pocket.
Hey, it's a rough world out there...and AT&T knows ALL ABOUT things like
PIC freezes. They want to play the old "oh, we'll do it for you" game
when it benefits them, but they don't want to bother to check for such a
freeze FIRST before sending me the offer.
Too bad, so sad.
