WARNING: DO NOT USE TRADE IN PROGRAM WITH VERIZON - NEW CUSTOMER/CURRENT CUSTOMER BEWARE

[kjk117]

A few weeks ago there was a promotion active where if you traded in a phone, EVEN WHEN SELECTING A CRACKED SCREEN, you were told you'd receive $550. I turned in a phone, with no damage, and was sent this in an email stating its only worth $113 as there was a "better qualifying promotion found" even though no credits were given to my account. THIS IS A SCAM! They will inform you about it once your return date has passed. Stay away from Verizon and I really hope new customers find this one day. What a shame for such a large company.     Trade-in details

They post this to help discourage others from thinking this isn't a scam. Verizon mistreats their employees, service people, and normal customers. I am shocked that this company still holds a mediocre BBB rating. 

Verizon support, you can see clearly that I was jipped. Calling in was pointless too as I've been transferred back to the main queue when I was promised "someone who can help me further on this issue as they do not have the power to do anything".

I am just trying to find a list of current trade-ins because the search function never gives a value.  I came across your post, you have evidence is there a reason why you have not considered a class action?  Classaction.org will help you get started.  I am just trying to find a list of phone trade-in values as I have several phones at my disposal.  But all I see are stories like yours.  I think a few screenshots of current, similar experiences would be sufficient to start a class action.  Many are active over much smaller complaints than yours!
