Beware of this Business in Boone, North Carolina.

Last night, my band played a show at a bar/music venue in Boone, NC.

the music venue was located in a tiny shopping center parking lot and there were literally no parking spots except for two in front of Blue Sky Vape and Tobacco.

After my band finished playing our set, we load our equipment out and my car is gone.

A started to freak out until a regular at the bar told me that they probably towed my car away...

again, it's a tiny parking lot and it would be an empty parking lot if not for the bar/venue..

After talking with the bar/venue staff, App students, concert goes, and looking at Google reviews,

they seem to be in cahoots with a local towing company called K & S.

In other words, they are running a tow trap.

As stated previously, this was literally one shopping center with a tiny parking lot and if that Vape shop

were the only thing there, it would be an empty parking lot.

It’s hard to tell who the worst criminals in telecom are anymore, but the FCC, T Mobile executives and the degenerate executive duo at Ultra Mobile and Mint Mobile are among the elite.

Mint Mobile has become a criminal scam for so many reasons since the t mobile merger. The least being that two executives at Mint and Ultra Mobile (the same two guys at both) printed a bunch of prepaid internet and phone cards (money) that are invalid on several levels.

Report your issues to the FCC, FTC and your state AG. They are all as worthless as the Texas AG, but its an option. There are a number of scams in effect. Data breaches, cards “deemed expired” with 2025 expiration dates and refund fraud where the last person holding a “deemed expired” card requests a refund and it goes to Mint Mobile’s RESELLER!

90% of the reviews on the Apple App Store are fake. Look at the google reviews and you will see this company is wholesale, literally and figuratively, bandwidth fraud. They don’t even have two stars.

This company printed 3 month prepaid internet cards of various terms with expiration dates in the future and alphanumeric activation codes codes that had a 0% chance of activating on the app because it only takes numerical activation codes. The online activation link used to work, but seems to have many more “issues” with alphanumeric codes now.

When resellers kick around these cards and the last person holding it realizes that company has ”deemed their card expired”, if they are successful in getting a refund, THAT REFUND GOES TO THE FIRST RESELLER.

It also looks like there was more that one major data breach. The company stated it provided a special dedicated phone number for people affected, but it is a general call center in the Philippines and nobody knows anything about that issue.

Basically, these issues are getting worse because T Mobile, the owner of Mint, Ultra Mobile and apparently the FCC, is just another criminal executive compensation scheme, and they are preying on everybody.

If you are scammed by this company, remember the names of the two mint founders on Wikipedia. Apparently, they scam people through Ultra Mobile too.

T Mobile is just another “corruptly valued listed stock” customer service department weaponized against customers. There isn’t a single person in the Mint Mobile customer service network that can activate a card “deemed expired” by Mint or T-Mobile. Not one. The are not empowered to help you even if they wanted to. It’s an outright scam now.

The irony being that if you are dealing with Mint mobile customer service reps in the Philippines and you explain what a scam these prepaid cards with future expiration dates have become, they understand. They understand that they are expired because they’ve been kicked around by resellers after the “45 day validity period” starts and they understand that they’ve been given no power to activate a card. They genuinely feel bad when you show them your larger picture. Some even question their employment. They don’t want to work for a corrupt US telecom executive compensation scheme.

Basically, after the Mint sale to t mobile, t mobile decided to “shield” or “absolve” Mint’s liability in printing oodles and oodles of these cards by removing the possibility they could ever be activated. Less bandwidth for you, more bonus money for them.

I can’t imagine why degenerate tmobile execs decided to sell mint their bandwidth in the first place, unless those degenerate criminals intended to create a fake telcom oligopoly for a bit while they elbowed any affordable services out of the way.

Hey telescummers! Why don’t you put out yet another “Which is Better Ultra Mobile or Mint Mobile?” phony comparison internet article? We need more deceptive marketing that doesn’t tell us that the same two degenerates own(ed) both companies.

There will be some very upset people watching these two because of issues they have had with their communication equipment and undelivered or throttled internet access. When someone takes a functioning sim out of their phone and replaces it with a sim that has 0 - 5% chance of working, that is a kick in the groin!

As for the pathetic criminal executives at Sprint / TMobile / Nextel and now Ultra Mobile and Mint Mobile, they are disgusting.

Not as disgusting as the worthless 3/5 commissioner agency the FCC has become in the last three decades though.

Way to roll with global technological advances you 1st grade reg-u-later flunky clowns.
