Review of google

Beware. Misleading FREE ad offer cost me nearly $900 and no sales

I added a new listing to Google Maps and was directed to a free $600 trial google ad offer. The screen lead directly to a credit card payment that implied a small payment of $23 to activate the offer. Not so. When nearly $900 of charges appeared in my credit card / google ad statement I saw that not even one dollar of free advertising was delivered. It took hours online to find a customer service call number. They did call back after I registered a complaint email. I spent one hour on the phone to a google rep to find out what happened to my "free" offer. I think we were both speaking English, his explanations defied logic! After paying $600 - he eventually revealed - I was only eligible to receive small sums of credit - ie spend another $100, get $20 etc. Even their ad cancellation process could have had me locked into paying hundreds more. CANCEL FIRST - pay your outstanding account LAST! Google clearly applied misleading, manipulative, expensive sales funneling processes. Hundreds of "alleged" clicks, over months, just cost me money. Not even one sale.

Review of Pinterest

PINTEREST IS GUILTY OF DISCRIMINATION!!!

MY DISCRIMINATION ISSUE WITH PINTEREST IS NOT UNCOMMON. I URGE YOU TO CHECK THEIR BBB RECORD & OTHER SOURCES ONLINE AS WELL!!! I received an email from Pinterest this am stating my account is suspended due to “harassment”. I’ve sent approx 10 emails to them today & delivery of each & every one of them was blocked by Pinterest! I’ve also made approx 20 ATTEMPTS to complete their online appeal process & THEY’VE BLOCKED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM AS WELL! Upon completion of their entire appeal process, I get a reply from them stating I answered their Capitcha question incorrectly, but the process doesn’t even include a Capitcha screening! I’ve read their community guidelines many times in the past & (although I’ve had some heated discussions with Liberals who routinely post rabid attacks on my pro-conservative pins) I see nothing I’ve done which violates Pinterest standards; however, my pins are littered with routine attacks from liberals which contain blatant violations. I’VE EXPERIENCED THIS HORRIFIC HARASSMENT ON PINTEREST FOR YEARS! Just to name a few, said harassment is based on my status as a military member & mil retiree, status as a disabled vet, religion, sex, race, political affiliation, etc. Pinterest guidelines state they’re not concerned w/ conflicts based on political affiliation, but they guarantee protection from all other subjects I’ve mentioned. I’ve reported many of these incidents through the years & Pinterest did absolutely nothing for me. So imagine my surprise upon receipt of this email. Also, imagine my extreme frustration with following their lengthy appeal process to the letter more than 20 TIMES in a single day only to receive a repeated bogus reply from them referencing incorrect answer to a NONEXISTENT Capitcha screening! After filing numerous harassment reports in the past myself & having Pinterest ignore them, I became suspicious & decided to research this issue. The number of complaints just like mine posted on the BBB site, social media forums, discrimination whistleblower groups on Facebook, news articles, etc is astounding so (obviously) this is not an illegitimate complaint! Pinterest’s BBB ratings & complaint history contains numerous complaints which are very similar to mine. Obviously, these sources indicate a clear pattern of Pinterest’s unwarranted suspensions & failure to respond to complaints from those who have boards/pins which indicate they’re conservative/Republican. I will continue to post detailed updates on this issue, because....CLEARLY, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS/LEGIT ISSUE WHICH IS INEXCUSABLE!!!

Review of chase

Chase NO help with moving scam

I received a quote from a moving company and then paid a $700 deposit to reserve the moving date with my Chase credit card. The moving company said I could cancel within three days to receive a refund of the deposit. Two days before the move the moving company called and gave me a much higher revised quote. The moving company would not return my deposit because I was outside the cancellation window. I tried to cancel the payment with Chase and they denied it. They sided with the moving company.

I’ve been on bigcommerce for over 6 years and they have been an okay platform to use. I wouldn’t recommend them lately due to many changes they’ve done that affects our stores. At times, you’ll lose server connections, products not showing, or some other issue - moreover, they never notify you about it unless you reach out to support or notice lost in sales. It amazes me on how a company like this can’t manage a website/e-commerce site correctly.

Roots

I loved the support throughout the entire process. They kept me informed about my outcome every step of the way. For a moment, I thought it would take longer, but no. It was quick, and I loved discovering my roots.

Disappointing Experience with Teachable: Payment Delays and Customer Support Issues

I would like to express my feedback based on my recent experience, which has left me feeling disappointed. As of August 4th, my payroll has yet to be processed to my PayPal account, despite my multiple attempts to contact your "help support." Unfortunately, my interactions with your chatbot system have consistently resulted in promises of someone reaching out to me, yet I have not received any follow-up. Your response time used to be satisfactory in the past, but this year, I must admit it has been consistently disappointing.I've noticed that your system sends prompt reminder emails for late payments, which I find quite assertive. However, when it comes to addressing the concerns of your paying customers, I've encountered a noticeable lack of professionalism. Considering the relatively high service fees and pricing plans, I believe there is significant room for improvement in your service. I hope this feedback helps you enhance your platform.

Review of squarespace

Really pox domain management. Look elsewhere.

Having been forced to move to Squarespace from Google Domains means I now get to experience, first hand, how awful the domain management features are, especially for many sites. Really difficult experience trying to do simple tasks like bulk update payment methods.Support is slow and non existent despite their claims of it being fabulous. Far from it.Will be moving to CloudFlare as soon as more TLDs are supported.

Review of getyourguide

Great website and service

The website was easy to use and find suitable activities in the city we wanted. Booking was easy and the host was in contact regular with updates as I had difficulty booking for a large group for our chosen activity. I would definitely use this website again in the future.

DEPLORABLE. STAY AWAY

Telstra charged me for international roaming even after I touched australian soil.Because I didn't switch the roaming off?STILL I was in Australia.Customer service did not even inform me that I had to switch it off when I went to their branch.Ombudsman & consumer affairs should look into their dodgy transactions.

Review of YouTube

google is illegal

This company breaks diverse laws of diverse countries and doesn't give two flying fs. It's full of scam ads! Its full of scam ads! its also full of illegal content that doesn't get removed which is also illegal.So I can only recommend to not spend any money dont engage with their ads. just refresh if it shows an ad to get rid of it or use ad blockers. Google and Youtube dont want to listen so only money can vote.
