Sorry, I don’t have any further info on the story. Maybe try calling KVUE the TV station. This is just a linked copy of the story, I didn’t have anything to do with reporting it.

Hi Amy,

I’m trying to find a follow up to your story of the woman who received this red rash at the ACL Music Festival.

My sister-in-law flew down here from Seattle to go to this event. She attended it all three days and slid around in the mud. She said it was awful.

She now has returned to Seattle and has broken out in this horrible red rash on both legs. She has been taking predizone and has started to heal, but now the rash is breaking out again in new legions. The doctors she has seen have no clue as to what she has contracted. They may have to biopsy these legions to find out exactly what they are.

Could you help me in this situation? She is desperate.

It would be interesting to know what the woman in your report took if anything to heal her rash. And if she went to a doctor and what kind.

It’s hard to believe that only one or two people out of thousands contracted this rash.

Thank you,

Comment on Bad Customer Service (AT&T sucks) by Chris

My experience with AT&T is one of the worst encounters I’ve had when dealing with a service provider.
I have their 1.5mbps dsl service at work which is something that I use for light browsing for making online orders and for entertainment. For a few months I noticed that my bill was around $40 higher, but I just thought it was from long distance and didn’t pay much attention. Then I started to get calls from AT&T.

ATT: “Hello, would you like to upgrade your service to 6.0mbps free for charge for the next 3 months?”
ME: “No thank you”
ATT: “6.0mbps can do wonders for your business”
ME: “No thank you, I’m sorry but I’m busy right now, have a nice day!”
ATT: “Sir could you verify one more time that you do want the upgrad…”
*CLICK* (I hang up)

They called my business literally twice a day for 2 weeks and the calls got more and more annoying and aggressive to the point where I stopped being polite.

Then I got an email…

ATT: This is your confirmation email stating that you have upgraded to the 6.0mbps service. Blah blah blah…
(Then in fine print: “regular charges do apply when the promotional 3 months have passed please call customer service if you wish to opt out of our promotion)

I look at my old bills to make sure they didn’t pull other bullshit tricks out of their asses, and I notice why my bill was higher the past few months. They had upgraded me to 3.0 from 1.5 without my consent nor any notifications. I called them to confront this and the first representative was very polite.

REP1: “I’m seeing that the upgrade to the 3.0 happened back in August, I apologize about that sir, let me transfer you to our dsl department and they’ll adjust your account and refund the overcharges”

ME: “Thank you very much, I appreciate it.”

REP2: “Hello, blah blah blah, how can I help you? Oh, I need to transfer you to *inaudible*

REP3: “Hello, how can I assist you?”

ME: “My internet service was upgraded without my consent, and I’ve been billed for it”

REP3: “Sir you are not being billed for the 6.0″

ME: “Yes, but my service was upgraded from 1.5 to 3.0″

REP3: “No, you have always been on the 3.0″

ME: “No, I’ve been on 1.5 since forever”

REP3: “I’m not seeing it”

ME: “Can I talk to your supervisor?”

*CLICK* I get hung up on…

Their customer service is abysmal and they will do sneaky things to steal money from you.
You should stay away from signing a contract with them if possible.

By the way, I’ve done speed tests multiple times after I got my 6.0 “free upgrade” and my download speed has never exceeded 2.0mbps… which is the same as when I was using my 1.5…

Yeah AT&T is a sham

I have found that AT&T customer service reps make up new lies every time I call. I canceled both home phone and DSL service. After a month of calls with service reps assuring me that I would get a prorated credit for the internet service, since I canceled two days into my billing cycle, they told me today that they don’t prorate internet service. The supervisor could not point me to that information, she “just knows that it’s true.” I guess that should be good enough. I looked through my Terms of Service and it does not say any such thing. The supervisor would also not give me any contact information for anyone in charge of this operation. Their behavior is really despicable. If anyone can recommend a company that aren’t incompetent and/or liars, I would like to hear it. I am considering canceling my cel phone service because I hate AT&T so much.

I don’t even have McAfee (have Norton anti-virus) and have the same problem. Anyone know of other applications that could be triggering this same issue???

I will make it part of my normal routine to let everyone know just how bad AT&T customer support is. This is a company with the absolute WORST customer service in the service industry. In particular AT&T wireless. If it were not for the iPhone, there would be no AT&T wireless. The iPhone is a wonderful phone (actually one of the best), but to have to rely on the AT&T network and have to deal with their customer support, they couldn’t give them away to have me join. Once a resolution reaches their highest department, “The Office of the President”, be ready to bow. Nowhere will you meet such a condescending group of elitists. Unprofessional does not even start to describe the treatment you will receive. On TWO different occasions, a valid representative from AT&T quoted us a price on the iPhone only to have it turned down by their “Office of the President”. In particular Lakita Gilmore from the OOTP, appears to take her job very personally. I’m guess with AT&T, the customer is never correct AND once Lakita Gilmore makes her decision, not even the President of AT&T has a word to say.
