Complaint Review:
TERRACOM WIRELESS
TERRACOM WIRELESS ROB ROWLEN ; HEATHER RUSSELL ; G. SINGH ; RICHARD YURICH WIRELESS FRAUD/ SCAM ; BLOCKED PAYMENTS FOR MINUTES; LIFELINE SCAM AND FRAUD OKLAHOMA CITY OKLAHOMA
- TERRACOM WIRELESS is a company founded by three criminals from
- Guthrie, Oklahoma, in search of a " get rich quick scheme ". They do business
- in 11 states ; their 'home' is Oklahoma City, OK ( 73129 ). Their 'get rich quick scheme worked, for a while. They, however, were cuaght in the cookie jar, by Federal Investigators, and were dragged into Federal Court in Maryland. Adjudicated, these wonderful three, were given a choice.
- Pay Restitution, or face the consequences. They paid ONE MILLION DOLLARS restitution, plus, a so-called "good faith" gift, of FOUR
- HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. I have the entire court transcript, which is Public Domain. In Indiana, Dale Schmick, the "mouth" of the bunch, and Perpetrator, was grilled and Bar-B-Cued by Indiana government officials. You may see part of that on YOUTUBE. They've chnged their
- marketing plans, like you change your underwear. One never knows from day to day, what the rules are, for LIFELINE clientele. At the moment, it's 2,000 minutes per month. On the Tribal Assistance Program, they tell us that our "minutes" are NO CHARGE to LIFELINE clientele. However, there is a 'catch'. There always is, with LIFELINE providers. The catch, at the moment, is : IF YOU RUN OUT OF MINUTES......you wait for the next batch of minutes to drop in to your account......or......you may -- in theory---
- pay to "top off" your account, to be able to use your handset for more than just a door-stop, or a papweight. In my case, for whatever reason, unkown to me, they are BLOCKING my payment methods. I use Cap One Credit Card Accounts, to do business with most companies. But,
- TERRACOM WIRELESS ? They are blocking me, which means, that when I go to make a payment, on the website, or, even with a CSR with their Service Contractor, my account is BLOCKED, ILLEGALLY. No explanations. No reasons. Just a "declined card" error message. Over and over, an error message, saying I am "declined". I made this known to the Executive in charge of Auditing. NO HELP. I made this know to the wonderful Mr. Robert Rowlen. SILENCE. The Service Contractor says they are baffled, but, they seem to know one thing : The TERRACOM "gateway" is BLOCKING MY PAYMENTS.
- So. Here's the message to TERRACOM WIRELESS. FACT : LIFELINE IS NOT YOUR TOY. It's taxpayer dollars at work, and paying your house payments, your car payments, your doctor bills, school supplies, dental insurance, the food in your mouth. And YOU, TERRACOM, are going to provide me with the voice and text access, that I sgned up for, in 2013, and that my tax dollars and everyone else's tax dollars, are paying for.
- LIFELINE, is NOT your hobby. It's not your little pleasure dome, where all your dreams are built. It's United States taxpayer property. OR, didn't that little dog and pony show in Maryland teach you anything ? In my estimation, you and your crew need to spend five or six hours before a Congressional Oversight panel, discussing your plans for the future. If you even have a future. Your "get rich quick scheme" is not my interest. My LIFELINE
- access, is my interest. And you, TERRACOM, are going to obey the law, and you can take that,..............to the bank, Mr. Robert Rowlen. Today is May 23, 2019. You have until NOON, today, to return service to me, or, make arrangements for me to make a payment, or, I will know the reason why. Don't learn the hard way, that I'm not a kid you can push around.

TERRACOM WIRELESS GEN MGR ROBERT ROWLEN DROPPING ME AS A LIFELINE SUBSCRIBER
#2Author of original report
Sun, June 09, 2019
SCOFFLAW TERRACOM G.M. ROBERT ROWLEN IS DROPPING ME AS A LAWFUL LINELINE SUBSCRIBER !! Terracom Wireless, a Registered Oklahoma Corporation, and Public Utility, is a LIFELINE "provider". Before we do business here, as usual, let us first acknowledge Mr. Ed Magedson, the Founder of RIPOFF REPORT. Thanks to Ed Magedson, and his hard-working staff, American citizens who OBEY THE LAW, have a redress of grievances, and a way to make crooks, thieves, con - men, con-women, phonies, and crooked Government Officials wish they had not harmed us.
Nothing disinfects like Sunlight. And, here, we are going to shine some of that Sunlight, on Robert Rowlen, the so-called " General Manager " of the incorporated business, TERRACOM WIRELESS. TERRACOM WIRELESS was, and is, an Oklahoma business, put together by four Guthrie, Oklahoma men who looked for a "get rich quick scheme ", and found one, in a potentially very fine Pulic Service platform, that the Federal Communications Commission calls, LIFELINE. Let me make one thing perfectly plain, here.
LIFELINE is STRICTLY a TAXPAYER DRIVEN platform, that allows economically disadvantaged Americans an opportunity to have LANDLINE and WIRELESS service, at a substantially reduced rate. Rates, depending on the circumstances, are ZERO, to about FIVE DOLLARS PER MONTH. The State and Federal Governments pay the balance.
That is entirely fair. Why ? Because the American Federal Government wastes TRILLIONS of DOLLARS each year, on silly, stupid, wasteful things, like, keeping an International Space Station alive and kicking, so that we can say, we LOVE to keep Russians, South Americans, the French, the Germans, the Albanians, The Greeks, the Italians, and everyone else, in Outer Space, because we have so much. We make rockets.
We make Electric Cars, 2,500 mile per hour airplanes, Heart Surgeons, and 200 Million Dollar motion pictures. I guess we still have to prove that, even though we have no Space Program, we must keep a million pounds of hardware floating in low Earth orbit. LIFELINE, is a Federal and State program that saves lives, and improves people's lives.
Each and every day, LIFELINE program saves lives. Period. CELL PHONES save lives, and CELL PHONES keep the Elderly alive, and keep them from depression, and help keep people involved in their interests, friends, and families. LIFELINE, in every way, is worth the cost. LIFELINE does not cost. It pays. But, here is the only problem. LIFELINE, whatever it is, is absolutely saturated with stinking, rotten, lawless individuals who get into the LIFELINE business, because, principally, the fact is, that most States do not control CELLULAR TELEPHONE BUSINESSES.
It's Political. As a result, crooks, clever ones, stupid ones, get into the business, because they're simply out of control. Beyond control of the States' Corporation Commissions. OKLAHOMA is as good an example as you can find. TERRACOM WIRELESS is a LIFELINE provider, in the most rudimentary sense. They got into the LIFELINE business, because of one reason : The Oklahoma Corporation Commission cannot and will not control this Public Utility.
As a DIRECT consequence, TERRACOM, and their alter-Ego, YOURTEL, being operated by lawless crooks, played it fast and loose, with taxpayer dollars. Dollars that could be spent to help people purchase groceries, buy physician visits, and buy prescription drugs to keep people alive, was being shoveled into $200,000 dollar autombiles, $ 5 Million Dollar homes, and $ 25 Million Dollar private jets.
That's right. Your money. But, Robert Rowlen, and his crokked cronies, got caught, red-handed, with the goods. Red-handed. This is not merely "sour grapes". This is PUBLIC DOMAIN fact. The FCC dragged Rowlen, Dale Schmick, and Richard Yurich, into a Maryland Federal Court, and grated these crooks, like Cheddar cheese.
In the end, Schmick, Yurich, and Rowlen, were given a choice. Pay back the money they 'invested' in their luxury lifestyle, or, do a term in Federal Prison. They paid. How much ? I'll tell you. These crook paid One Million Four Hundred Two Thousand Dollars ( $ 1,402,000.00 ) You know how long it takes the average LIFELINE subscriber to earn 1.4 Million bucks ? About 40 years.
I have been a LAWFUL LIFELINE subscriber, since 2012. Since then, I have, and the other TERRACOM subscribers, in 14 states, endured countless dirty tricks by TERRACOM, which includes the filth purveyed by their 4th rate Service Contractor : service interruptions. They REFUSE to act on customer problems ( please see my earlier complaints !!! ). In 2012, 750,000 TERRACOM customers were without service, for THREE WEEKS.
Did TERRACOM, and the human filth that runs the thing, apologize, or even explain ? NO !! No explanation, no apology. TERRACOM beleives that they own us, you and me. That's what they believe. And they have good reason to think that. They are not answerable to OKLAHOMA LAW. As such, they really believe that they can do whatever they wish.
After SEVEN long years of their non-sense, lawlessness, and refusal to obey the guidelines of the UNIVERSAL SERVICE ADMINISTRATION CORPORATION, a not-profit entity that serves as a watch-dog for these LIFELINE providers. And, now, ROBERT ROWLEN has decided to vanquish me, a LAWFUL SUBSCRIBER. And, I'll tell you why. Because THIS subscriber takes his law-breaking to the PUBLIC. I have reported his lawlessness to USAC, to the Federal Trade Commission, and to the Federal Communications Commission.
Next week, I reach for even more assistance with TERRACOM. If croopked Rob Rowlen gets his way, my last day with dear old TERRACOM, is June 29, 2019.
Thanks, Ed. For everything.
