T-Mobile’s John Legere Fires Up Trolling Motor With Three Frightening ‘Scarriers’ Tales
Legere is back at again today, taking direct aim at his three wireless competitors in a three-part video series called “The Scarriers.” In each of the videos, Legere is sitting around a campfire with a group of bewildered smartphone users as he describes the perils of choosing the competition. The first target is “Big Red,” otherwise known as Verizon Wireless. Legere tells the story of a couple that was slapped with an outrageous $2,000,000 bill from Verizon. He then motions to the scared audience that Verizon will slit your throat if you fail to pay the bill.
First, I’ll tell you a scary story about Big Red… #TheScarriers

Legere next turns his attention to Sprint, aka the “The Yellow Bus.” which he claims does nothing but copy everything that T-Mobile implements.
Now… let's see what the Ouiji board has to say about big Yellow School Bus… #TheScarriers

Perhaps saving the best for last, Legere went after his former employer: AT&T. Legere lovingly refers to AT&T as “The Death Star” and describes a story of how the company unleashed its lawyers on a customer that was simply trying to provide a suggestion on how to provide better service.
Legere conclude his triple-play tirade, proclaiming, “The Scarriers are f**king terrifying. Go to the Un-Carrier.”And Finally… the scariest of the #TheScarriers… the DEATH STAR!!! https://t.co/rvsQXfPNtS

All three videos are a light-hearted affair, and have a light amount of profanity (hey, it wouldn’t be a Legere rant without a few F-bombs tossed in for good measure). Neither video is likely to persuade a customer to switch allegiances when it comes to wireless carriers, but it shows that Legere isn’t done trolling competing wireless carriers.
