I'm Baaaaaaack...

Hi herbrock17, welcome back... I can't beleive that someone had the audacity to do such a thing, He or She needs to obviously get a life.

 

How'd they prove it was you anyway? You can still effectively deny everything, right?

P

 

I remember hearing about this. Whoever did that really needs to find some help. Even though I do not know the whole story, going and doing something like that is uncalled for.

 

whoever reported you is a retard (and you know who you are!). Its not like you went on tv news or something and assumed the title of company spokesmen. This is a forum, kinda like a chat room. You should be able to say whatever you want. Nothing said here is official or necessarily true. But just to be on the safe side, a disclaimer is a good idea.

Welcome back!

 

I didn't report herbrock.

But I do think that if you work for a wireless provider and you post information in a user forum like this, you should disclose that fact. Would you take advice on cars from a GM dealer, knowing that those ugly plastic trucks they're selling now would never get a negative comment?

I have a life, thank-you, and I want to know whether my information (good, bad or ugly) is coming from anybody whose paycheck comes from a wireless provider. In my profession as a newspaper journalist, this is required and it's called "full disclosure." It helps avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Just my opinion. Now for the nasty responses...

 

Not a nasty reply, but you are absolutely right. A representative should provide correct information. Thats why you should call the provider and ask your questions directly through official channels. My point is, there is nothing official about this forum. Its more of an exchange of thoughts and ideas/oppinions. If someone, even a claimed rep tells you something on this board, and you follow that advice and get funny billing issues, you have yourself to blame. People on these boards are very knowlegable....but to cover your own azz, you should contact the appropriate people who can actually notate your account in case something goes wrong.

 

Thanks for the heads up, I copied your disclaimer to my profile as well just to cover myself I never thougt about that happening to me.. but now that i know that its possible I will make sure that I CYA myself..

 

Sorry, to hear you went through such an ordeal just to chat with some friends/ associates on the web. That is complete BS for someone to do that. guess they have a lot of free time unlike those of us with jobs. I too work for a wireless provider (indirect market). and the comments and suggestions i make are based on fact and opinion, just like yours and i invite anyone who knows better to correct me when i make a mistake, but if someone did to me what they did to you there would be he!! to pay. I would find out who they are and begin with crashing their whole computer system form the comfort of my favorite chair at home. And oh yes, if you're still out there... i can do it. but, i won't. i dont like getting in trouble for internet fraud and other such things.

anyway, that really bites that you got in trouble, but be the bigger man and make the best of it. you'r obviously smarter and more determined in life.

i know this is an older post, but i thought i'd reply anyway

 

While I am glad you came back, this thread is old and there's not really information to discuss here. Therefore, I am locking the thread.
