Delaware Man David Miller Scammed Out of $5,128 in Fake AT Upgrade Offer
David Miller, a long-time AT&T customer from New Castle, Delaware, was scammed out of $5,128 after receiving a fraudulent call impersonating AT&T's loyalty department. The scammer offered Miller four new iPhone Pro Max devices and a lower monthly bill. Miller followed instructions to purchase the phones, each costing about $1,200, and was then told to ship them back for activation, with the promise of replacements. The scam involved caller ID spoofing, making the calls appear legitimate. After realizing he had been scammed when the replacement phones never arrived, Miller contacted AT&T's fraud department, UPS, and police, but was initially told he was responsible for the charges. CBS Philadelphia's 'In Your Corner' team intervened, leading to AT&T resolving the issue to Miller's satisfaction and waiving the $5,128 bill.
