Celia,
I did get a bill similar to yours. I think you can call but I went in to
Xfinity(Baseline) as I was in the area; there wasn't a wait which is odd but
nice and and I spoke with a courteous rep. He looked up my account and said
that I didn't owe anything.

Megan,
I agree. I will give you an example that I received last night. I got a bill
for $270.00 from Xfinity for their equipment. I do not think I have ever been
so angry. I am still angry. Just an example of a corporation that makes
billions of dollars that can not offer any compassion or customer service.
They make it almost impossible to contact a live body. Their telephone
customer service and "chat" can not help you. If Xfinity was smart, they would
have sent Marshall Fire Survivors a condolence letter on their loss and
verified that there would be no charge to their account after such a
catastrophe. After all, they have your current address and email in their
system.
Anyone else have this issue?

Subject: [OriginalTown] No time for grifters.
An open letter for our group regarding real estate harassment/fire sales:
Eight days after our family lost our home of 40+ years to the fire, an out of
state real estate person texted our mother and matriarch on her private cel
number. EIGHT DAYS. From someone my Mother nor I have ever met, do not know and
do not care to. The woman claimed loose ties to the community, feigned empathy,
and then took a sharp turn to the grifter’s pitch: “Care to sell your land?
I’ve been looking...”
Like many of you, we are receiving mail, telephone calls, emails - even in
person visits to our burned out homesteads - by shady, greedy people who place
their desire for financial gain, before any form of common decency or
compassion for our losses. Deep pockets and the ability to buy land does not
excuse abhorrent behavior toward fire survivors, who have plenty on their
plates. (Has anyone else heard rumors of inquiries like these from and/or on
behalf of Town of Superior elected officials?! These rumors seem even more
appalling/concerning.)
We all understand that there will be buyers, and there will be plenty of them,
should selling be the direction any of us chose to go. And I'm hopeful that any
sales can go to folks that could make decent neighbors in the future, rather
than these grifters. Should we consider circulating a list of unscrupulous
realtors, people, etc. who are soliciting "fire sales"?! I’m fed up and want
this harassment under the guise of sympathy to stop. I don’t believe any of us
deserve to hear “I’m sorry for your loss, but not sorry enough to stop pouring
salt in the wound for my own profit."
Any thoughts among our group on this? I’m all for folks in our community doing
what’s right for themselves in selling or rebuilding, and hold no ill will
toward anyone who sells, but sure hope to have decent folks in our community,
and not the type that are currently soliciting and harassing to push their own
agendas onto us.
Putting this out there for discussion among the group. Would like to hear from
you all in this with your thoughts.
With Superior Love,
Megan
