MamaMaus reports from Munich. She’s at a 2 star hotel with 5 star World
Cup rates this week for business meetings before the World Cup opener
on Friday. The hotel was apparently was last redecorated for the
previous big sports event in Munich, the 1972 Olympics. Her meeting for
Thursday was cancelled, she booked a flight home so she can sleep in
her own bed one night before returning for the opening match and the
hotel lost in the ’70s Friday night. She may have VIP tickets, but her
hotel is lost in the twilight zone.
A couple of weeks ago I got a sale call from Tele2 offering some sort of pre-select phone package for local and long-distance calls. I politely said I wasn’t interested and hung up. I never buy anything on the phone.
The telemarketer from Tele2 apparently disagreed, and submitted an order in my name anyway. A letter arrived a week later thanking me for my registration. I immediately faxed a cancelation to Tele2 Customer Service.
The cancelation was ignored. This weekend T-Com informed me that all calls from our line would be routed through Tele2. I called T-Com this morning, and they seemed to be familiar with the scam. When I mentioned I was calling about a pre-select change, the rep replied “You don’t want it, right?”. He assured me that the routing change would be ignored.
I’m not sure what advice I should give. I would never do business with Tele2, but even if you don’t talk them, you might end up doing business with them anyway.
