Natasha Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 OK, so last month I got the "servicios especiales" 49.50 pesos charge (many have had it before me) and went in and dealt with that. Yesterday, THIS month's bill comes, and lo and behold there's a new mystery charge -- $150 pesos for "tiendas telmex"....?? Turns out Telmex was hacked, and many accounts had cell phone charges put onto their phone bill (including ours). Please note that if you take your bill and talk to them before you pay, they can reverse the charge right then and there. She will write the amount you should pay on the front of your bill, which you can present to the cashier. I asked for (and received) a reference number as well, in case something is not correct next time around. And yes, the man beside me waiting in line was there to present his bill with the 49.50 "servicios especiales" added that he got this month, so continue to be vigilant boys and girls!

mudgirl Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 If one puts value on their time (as well as gas $) having to deal with ongoing BS like this, the cost of living in Mexico is not really all that much lower than NOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkshawn Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 3 months ago we received an email from Telmex to review our invoice & report any issues. On review we had the extra added so I sent an email same day back to them reporting that the extras were not authorized or requested. We requested an amended invoice. Well you know what has happened, as of yesterday am sending my 3rd documented notice back to them from up here in the great soon to be white north. Something to be dealt with on our return.

Didn't you read the handbook on Mexican culture before you decided to move here. hahaha It doesn't bother the Mexicans as much because they don't know different.

I guess it would have to depend on what city in the US you are talking about. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 I seem to recall there being more than enough BS back where I came from, NOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeser Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Sorry, but these are crooked people and they know there is no downside to trying to bilk the customer. Where else you going to get phone service. If a government gives a monoply it must have strong consumer protection agencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REC Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I had some extra charges on my latest Telmex bill. When I went to pay it - which I had to do anyway - it took about 10 seconds for them to remove those charges and I paid the regular amount. The folks at Telmex couldn't have been more pleasant or more helpful. No hassle whatsoever - no extra time - no extra gas - no discussion. Easy!
