Ex-Comcast employee accused of service ruse
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The number of Dunwoody residents canceling their Comcast cable service has increased by 30 percent, according to the company. The city’s police department thinks it knows why.
Rony Chery, 26, was arrested Wednesday after he attempted to sell cable service to an undercover Comcast employee at an apartment complex. He is charged with criminal attempt to commit theft of services.
Chery, a former Comcast employee, allegedly passed out pamphlets advertising a $50 fee for cable service, with no additional monthly fees, according to Sgt. Mike Carlson with Dunwoody police.
“Once he received the payment, Mr. Chery would disconnect the customer’s cable and reconnect it with another existing Comcast account,” Carlson said in a statement.
If you have purchased cable service from this individual, call Dunwoody Det. Kelly Gobely at 678-382-6914.
