T-Mobile accused of false advertising; New York AG investigates

T-Mobile, the nation's fastest-growing wireless carrier, is coming under scrutiny for its popular ad campaign promising to rip up service contracts and do away with hidden fees.

The office of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is investigating complaints that the ads are misleading. And a letter alleging "deceptive marketing and abusive debt collection practices" is making its way to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is responsible for consumer financial products, USA TODAY has learned.

T-Mobile's colorful CEO, John Legere, has shaken up the telecom industry with his "un-carrier" campaign, which vows to free consumers of burdensome service contracts and other pesky fees. The campaign has been so effective that it helped T-Mobile push past Sprint to become the nation's third-largest carrier this year — a feat that seemed far-fetched when Legere took over in 2012.
