Cricket Wireless Cricket Wireless in Seabrook, Texas. Attempted Identity Theft and Bait and Switch Seabrook Texas

Purchased cell phone, accessories and serice on Saturday, 3/7/2015 with the understanding they would port my phone number from my old carrier to the Cricket Wireless phone.  Waited 3 hours, still no service.  Left and went home, calling Cricket Wireless 800 number several times to see if the number had been ported.  The Cricket Wireless operator asked for my 'full social security number' in order to 'get the service' to accept and port my number.  I was suspicious and refused.  She said it might take 2 days.  The Cricket Seabrook office was closed on Sunday.  Monday, 3/9/2015, 48 hours after the phone was purchased, I still didn't have phone service (no phone).  I drove to the Cricket offie in Seabrook and requested a full refund for the phone, accessories and serivce that I never got.  The clerk said that the wrong SIM card had been put in the phone and she replaced it with another SIM, but I continued to refuse the phone, stating, "I purchased this phone with the understanding I would get my old number ported.  You agreed to port the old number and didn't comply with your promise."  The clerk stalled me for another hour after I asked to speak to the manager.  I left, went to get my pets from home and went to the local police department to file a complaint.  When I returned, the clerk stated she could not get the paperwork correct on the computer so nothing had been done.  I left the new phone and accessories after calling my bank and disputing the charges.  Cricket Wireless baits the customer with great rates and phones, easy credit at no interest, simple number porting and does not follow through.  I spent 2 days without a phone after charging $112 to my credit card and having a $439 'overall' credit charge.  In addition, Cricket was supposed to set me up with an AUTO PAY monthly to save me $5 and I found out they didn't even set it up.  Consumer BEWARE of Cricket Wireless!
