"They agree to a certain price and then when they bill you, it is like three times the price," said Portland resident Hap Wong. "Nothing was as it was represented to me," said Pauline Williams, another protester from Portland. The Oregon Consumer League organized the mid-day rally after receiving numerous complaints. http://www.kgw.com/news/local/centurylink-customers-protest-in-northeast-portland/452884603 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <aef05ba6-3bcf-9231-dcc1-fcb48f4220b5@horne.net> Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 01:02:34 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: CenturyLink customer warns of scams By Brittany Costello ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Deception, false promises and scare tactics; thieves will go to any lengths to get what they want.
