Yup, you caught me, I am a total fraud. Excuse me if I was mis-stated, i don't have several account, I mean several lines....

I think its probably a combo of multiple things. The entire account was opened just 4 or 5 months ago with 2 lines.

A 3rd line was added just recently in the past week. That is all, not multiple accounts I as clarified my mistake from earlier, just multiple lines.

Wow.. 60 new phones on 3 accounts? Means you were trying to have 20 phones tied to each account. I can see that triggering various fraud algorithms. Now, if you had setup your accounts as business accounts - then things could have turned out different.

Lesson learned, I guess. Do not try the same trick at Verizon or wherever you end up going to. They probably buy the same third party fraud detection algorithm :rolleyes:

I have not left the building, went to sleep and have been taking care of my kids this morning. I love all the insinuating posts claiming there has to be more to the story (my trying fake credit cards, etc).

Its exactly as I explained it, nothing fraudulent what so ever, just a ton of attempts to order phones against my 3 accounts. I am completely prepared for there to be more blowback from this from AT&T later down the road, seems to easy of them to just cancel me and let me keep the phones.

If there isn't any more action I will consider myself lucky and take this as lesson learned. Go ahead and flame away and make more claims that there has to be more to the story.

Honestly, OP, I would just return the phones to them. Better that than you find yourself on the hook for a bill of almost three grand if they try and get the money back for the phones and the contracts. I just would not trust this 'lol okay you can keep the phones and no fees :)'
 
Wow, and the accusations continue to fly. Think I will bow out of this conversation, sucks that this board has turned into such haters/pessimists.

It is likely that it will bite you in the ass; however, the fact that you think you can pay for a subsidized phone and sell it at full retail after your carrier kicked you out off their service is laughable. Sure, you can sell them but I have a weird feeling you will be paying AT&T back. They may not blacklist the phones, and I don't think they should, but you owe the balance of all three phones.

I also believe there is something about the fraud claim that doesn't add up. I do think you toy with the law a bit, especially acting as a straw buyer/customer for folks who want iPhones but cannot get them due to credit and location. Your personal account should be a business account and I question why you didn't just open that. I also question why you tried 60 times. You sound like an adult, 60 seems egregious.

He did not pay for them. He paid a subsidized price. I believe AT&T will come to collect. They always do.

Yes they do. AT&T can and should file a SAR if they truly deemed this as fraud.

I tend to agree with most of what you say here, it is egregious for an adult to make 60+ attempts to buy phones, sometimes the thrill of the chase over takes my adult responsible side and I get over excited.

Again, these folks are not in different locations, they are in my office, just moved here from EU so don't have credit.

I am fully willing to defend my self against any claims stated in a SAR (suspicious activity report for you retards that don't know what a SAR is).
