Legit? 09/22/2022 Free Apple iPhone SE for legacy 3G user
Hello all, receive an email from news@t-mobile-email.com. I went to a T-Mobile store, not authorized retailer or limited serice. And I was told this is a fake email. They never heard of it and even c...
In conclusion...
As a matter of principle, I spoke to a rep at 611 yesterday, after some digging and overnight verification with his manager, he verified that the promotion is legit and he wrote a note in the comment area of my account. With that, i went to the same store and they did give me an iPhone SE 64GB. It's not even on an EIP. Thank you all for the assist and guidance. Cheers.
That number is on an iPhone 5s. lol
it still works in the house, with wifi.
I called T-Mobile today, the person said, there in no such free promotion, but he will check with their promotion dept.
Let me clarify that this is not a one-off email from this address (news@t-mobile-email.com). I have been receiving emails from this sender on T-Mobile promotions since I updated my email address in my account. The emails are your typical marketing promotions, like BOGO, back-to-school, etc. Plus this latest offer has the correct 4 digits of my 3G phone in the email. If this email is Fake, it must be a very persistent fake emailer. Maybe T-Mobile should hire them instead. ;)
Maybe the purpose of the email is to get you to click on a malware link… but the links points to t-mobile site.
I got a feeling that within next 3 months, there will be another email on this same subject. Maybe they have to get enough people off the 3G so they can repurpose the spectrum. Who knows.
Anyway, it's not a big deal, that line is a backup line anyway. Thanks for your time.
