Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: Thank you for taking the time to give me a deeper explanation. It was mostly false, but it was an explanation that was not robotic like I requested. First off, I’m not sure we are on the same page. I remember on 7/11/asking about the *** bath tissue that I had to buy two of. I was the only person that submitted that receipt. Second, didn’t you understand that I was not aware of the terms of use at that time prior to this? I couldn’t go back in time and change what I did if I was not aware of the terms of use. Fake accounts? How dare you accuse me of creating fake accounts. How did I refer 8+ users if I only have referrals? I was going to have a potential 4th referral, but he got my account deactivated, so it did not go through. If only you would stop being so one-sided and listen to me. I remember cashing out one time; it required me to verify my phone # and deviceTwo of my referrals have already cashed out. That means they’ve verified their accounts and devicesHow can fake people do that? Since you like verifying things so much, why haven’t you verified any of this? In addition, my referrals have offered to contact you to verify themselves. Also, aren’t only (2) accounts able to log in one device? All I can recall is I, my 2nd and 4th referral have logged in using my phone. My account was locked after the 3rd person tried to log in, as stated in the terms of useYou are saying 8+ people have logged into my phone. I don’t think that is possible. Are you suggesting I have 8+ phone lines and/or devices? Unfortunately, I do not have the time or money for that. After doing research, it seems like your company has scammed plenty of people out of their money. If you want to scam people, why don’t you go after bigger accounts? I have seen people with over $5,in their Ibotta accounts. Why don’t you scam them, instead of people with less than $like me? (At the time of deactivation, I had $33)You need to return this money to meI now understand why your company has received an unbelievable amount of bad reviews compared to good ones. Your customer service skills are in serious need of some fine tuning I have posted a review about your company, in over a week it had gained 743+ views. I want to spread awareness of what you are doing to me and make sure future users are aware of your scamming ways But let me guess, you don’t believe I did such a thing. Here is a little tip for you. Why don’t you implement a similar technique to *** It allows friends to help defend and recover a user’s account? It requires 3-friends to help a user do this Have a nice day
Sincerely,
*** ***
