I found MobilityPass on line as a vendor, signed up on line, spent $150 on the modem, and waited, and waited, and waited. Nothing happened. Eventually I received a package from Spain with a modem.

After finding disturbing money float issues with Chase, I checked our company’s Wells Fargo credit card account for the Float Pay Scheme I outlined before. Sure enough, it is used by Wells Fargo, too. I really should be calling it the Float Pay Scam. It turns out we made a payment of the balance in [...]
