Reviews and Complaints

I have contacted facebook office many times through calling their office and

a lady 's voice message says " we do not have phone support now".

I have sent email to facebook and instagram which are the same company

and the companies sent me an email saying " we can not talk to you because

you are not law enforcewment.

I need my facebook account closed and I need my instagram account closed.

I am not able to talk to anyone at facebook and instagram.

Facebook is terrible. 3 months ago someone falsely reported my accounts as fake. Since that time I have been locked out of my accounts on all but one device. I have contacted FB well over 25 times and sent them my ID over 12 times with ZERO resolution. I use my fb account to promote my business including boosting my posts so I am a both a paying customer as well as a product for them. I am beyond frustration and anger with them. I'd like to be able to use my accounts like I did before the saboteur came along and falsely reported me. It's been THREE MONTHS! I've reported fb to multiple organizations but they are a giant and immovable organization. I have also tried resolving this issue on my own with the solutions just being circular in nature. As an example I've tried resetting my password and on the page where I am to reset my password, IT ASKS FOR MY PASSWORD! If I knew my password why would i be resetting it?! Unbelievable! The amount of aggravation this has caused me is huge. 3 months of frustration and anger!

I had been a client at Lisa O'Brien for almost a year, to date. While having my hair cut on two occasions I heard staff (including the hairdresser who does my hair) explicitly complaining about the fact that other business owners in the area were unfairly accusing the owner and certain of her staff of rude, aggressive conduct. Particular mention was given to a cafeteria which is almost next door to the hair salon in question, in those regards.

To date, I had let the matter go unheeded as I was not involved with the salon owner's or her staff's disputes with other clients or business owners. However, today when I went in to set up my next appointment, a blonde female, who announced that she owned the salon, marched over in a very confrontational way and stood in front of the small sofa which I was about to sit on while she started shouting would I "move and sit there". While I waited until she got out of the way in front of me so that I could actually sit on said sofa, she became very loud and insulting and for some bizarre reason claimed that she "had called the police about" me - for what reason I cannot imagine; she shouted "you are a nightmare.. your friends can't stand you" and other such offensive, defamatory drivel. The woman knows none of my friends, acquaintances or family and appeared determined to cause offence and insult for no reason at all. She then ordered me out in a very aggressive fashion, while another junior member of staff whom I had never seen until today joined in with shouting abusively towards me, saying "get out you're a nightmare". Absolutely shocking, to say the least and prompts me to think that there is a toxic, disturbing mixture of dysfunction amongst these people, which they project outwards when it suits them.

Having since spoken with specific business owners who lease premises alongside Lisa O'Brien in Rutherglen Main Street, they have confirmed to me in person that she has caused severe offence to them and their staff, to the extent that they have effectively banned Lisa O'Brien and certain of her staff from their premises. They have not formalised this action legally, however some of them are considering raising a petition against Lisa O'Brien. Until today, I had no particular issue with the salon; however I would strongly discourage anyone from putting themselves at risk of the type of treatment dished out by Lisa O'Brien and certain of her staff such as they demonstrated today and such as they have clearly demonstrated to other people also.

I reluctantly purchased merchandise from the online site of "Pop Curvy" https://www.popcurvy.com/ on January 2018.

The site promised to deliver fashionable & comfortable shapewear, lingerie, sleepwear, active wear and dresses of good quality at the most reasonable price for each customer around the world.

They go on to state that "All the products they are selling are made by top quality material and they go through rigorous inspection. We have an elite team with professional skills and unlimited creativity in product research and development."

To my dismay, the merchandise I received was of poor quality, poor workmanship and of poor sizing. Not to mention it took over a month and half to get my order fulfilled. I take it NOW, that PopCurvy is not located here in the USA.

When I emailed PopCurvy's customer service department, I was told that I could not return the "WORN" items. I didn't have to even try on the items to tell they weren't the right size (NOT EVEN CLOSE). The merchandise was poorly made and the material was some kind of spandex looking material.

Where is the "POPCURVY.COM" promise of a positive NO HASSLE online purchasing experience process? Dissatisfied customers is a part of that process. In addition they offer a dedicated and knowledgeable customer service team. I received nothing but broken English emails back refusing to refund my money. Even though I didn't even try on items. They offered me 20% of what I paid…. that is preposterous. THEY NEED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR MERCHANDISE. IF NOT, DON'T SELL IT.

"BUYER BEWARE! Do NOT buy ON THIS SITE!

Poor customer relation AND poor quality sizing

I just wanted a refund not a hassle.

Fake hotel and vacation rental alert
Villa la flamenca located in tenerife (spain) is a scam. It's not a hotel and it's not a vacation rental. The person posting fake pictures of this place online to lure victims is a belgian who resides in the canary islands. Her name is mariana rodriguez vandeputte.
Ms. Mariana posts fake pictures on multiple sites online that belong to other real hotel businesses in the area. This is easily identifiable by using google's reverse picture search.
Once you contact her online she gives you fake customer references. She then takes your deposit and a week or two before your rental is supposed to start she comes out with an excuse to keep your money.
She also claims that her"hotel" is for sale.
I lost €300 with this scam. If you are a victim you can file a report with spain's national police at +34 922 23 60 40.

Several days ago many messages were removed from my account. These contained several photos. I am very upset that I have lost these messages. How can I retrieve them. I want them back! The communications were between me and a friend overseas. There were st least 20+ messages and photographs. At the same time that these messages disappeared, communications between a long lost friend were taken away. There was no reason to remove them.. No profanity, no lewd photos, l am very angry about this practice! Please find them and send them back. Asap. [protected]@yahoo.com
Please respond

A friend had reached out to me via the Facebook Messenger app out of concern for my safety and wellbeing due to a domestic situation. Shortly thereafter, I found myself blocked from Facebook Messenger for a post I shared earlier describing racial discrimination on myself as a child. The post was not threatening, abusive, or offensive, and simply detailed information about my experiences. Their algorithm blocked posts, replies, instant messaging, and the ability to report a complaint or post on the public boards because I had allegedly violated community standards. This is not the first time they have blocked my account for flagrant reasons. There have been other sensitive or controversial topics I've posted about, non-abusive, in which there has been no good reason for them being blocked other than they might have been unappealing to some people. As a result of their extraneous blocking, I've lost contact for several days with friends whom I've been in contact with, providing support and help regarding my domestic situation.

I am FURIOUS that you targeted this fabulous group on my personal facebook feed- FURIOUS. I love this group- they are doing so much good in the world, unlike Facebook. I guess you really Are Anti Christian, Anti Jewish, Anti morality, Anti anything that I support. Get off your mission to destroy Christianity and the Republican party and Israel. What is wrong with you that you don't actually know right from wrong, good from evil. I am BEYOND offended by you! Shame on you!

This company is a scam and you NEED to cutoff all business with them.

I ordered a product from them on November 25th. I received an order number and tracking number and have yet to receive the product. I have contacted them multiple times via email and phone and they have yet to return and a call and you cannot track the shipping of the item.

In reading all of the social media for this company it is a scam and it is advertised on FACEBOOK. That is where I had seen it and how I had ordered my item #6056. I am now out the $34.94.

I am looking for a refund of my money. At this point I do not want the item as it appears it is not even the real FUNKO product but a knockoff that they are selling as a FUNKO (false advertising) at its best. This company is the truest form of BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES I have ever seen.

My account was first suspended for "suspicious activity" - and the last thing I did on it was to like a post about the soccer World Cup. It was the 4th of July 2018.
A month later it was disabled with no explanation. I have tried submitting multiple appeals, but never even got a response from the company. Nothing - not even an email acknowledging that they read my appeal.
I submitted a BBB complaint, and all I received was a response that they could not help me through BBB, that there is a ticket opened, and I should have received an email requesting more information (which never happened - is Facebook lying, or are they just incompetent? or maybe both?). The rest of their responses said that I should contact their Help Center (as if I hadn't!).

In the country, where even the legal system has a rule that you are considered innocent until proven guilty, why is a company allowed to do as they wish, and disable an account that has never received a complaint in 10 years? An account, whose owner has never posted anything offensive, never tried to make any sales etc? And with no explanation? Facebook should be held accountable for such unethical practices.

Why do you continue to allow these companies, which you know are scammers, still advertise on your site? Mostly the Chinese companies which are now using American addresses. I will never gain buy anything on Face Book and I am recommending that nobody else does either. You put me in jail for a day because I said they sent me Chinese junk...which was true, it was junk from China, but you find it okay for these companies to scam your users. I don't get it.

In the past 48 hours, Facebook have blocked my access to my own account on the pretext that my name is incorrect (there are lots of people using psuedonyms on FB) but presumably due to complaints leveled at me by the UK "charity", Campaign Against Antisemitism, a Zionist front that I have criticised, whose sole raison d'être is to undermine

Labour UK and Jeremy Corbyn by spreading lies about him and those on the left of the party. The CAA avail themselves of a newly adopted definition of antisemitism (IHRA) that defines criticism of Israel and Zionism, or of Jewish organisations and even Jews, as antisemitic. While this definition has been criticised by scores of experts and is rejected by many Jews, it has begun to be used to silence criticism of Israel and Facebook appear to have no problem implementing this new definition, as long as they believe it is within their rights or that Facebook members who fall foul of the new definition will not be able to take them to court.

According to the European Digital Rights watchdog:

Facebook is currently under fire due, among other things, to the furore surrounding fake news and the co-option of Facebook by terrorists. At a time when numerous critics have concluded that Facebook divides us, Mark Zuckerberg now sees the platform's future in its "groups". Therefore, the company is investing in a friendlier image.

One thing the company is doing, is trying to make its services safer for users, through the expansion of its "Community Safety Team" and the launch of new functionalities, including a designated area for groups' rules of behaviour. On the face of it, a welcome development: it is important to reflect on how platforms are designed. Which functions serve which people? How can clever design at early stages of product development minimise the amount of objectionable content being posted?

Of course, measures that make Facebook safer to use, are welcome. Still, this development leaves us feeling uneasy. By investing in "community leaders", Facebook is meddling with society's most essential category: its communities. It is an intervention we can do without. These are our prime objections:

Not a neutral conduit:

Facebook shapes interactions between you and your community, and between the members of your community amongst one another. Sometimes, it does this explicitly, for example by offering certain functions and not offering others. But it also does this invisibly, by indirectly influencing your decisions, "nudging".in both cases, the user has little or no insight into how they are being "guided", not to mention that they have little or no control. Facebook controls what may, and may not, be discussed: Do we really want to let our freedom of expression be dependent on the terms and conditions of a multinational corporation? Because it is Facebook that decides what is acceptable and what is not. The company claims it wants to be a "friendly platform" that "brings people together". That automatically means the prohibition of certain types of statements.in the past Facebook has, for example, considered it necessary to block cartoons of the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan - they clearly didn't bring people together enough! YouTube, in turn, deemed it important to label LGBTQ-related content as not family-friendly. Platforms are under increasing pressure to combat the spread of "undesirable content", a term now being applied to everything from copyrighted material to extremist propaganda and from unpopular opinions to hate speech. If the current trend continues, we can expect to encounter censorship on platforms with increasing frequency in the future.

Around the world, communities are doing important work and are taking a stand concerning something they are passionate about.in doing so, they utilise the means available to them. It pays to look critically at those means. Do they work equally well for all members of the community? And where large platforms are involved, how can you prevent them from becoming the gatekeeper between the members of the community?

Bits of Freedom struggles with this, too. They choose to use Facebook and Twitter, but with some restrictions: They do not profile individuals through advertisements, nor do they upload pictures of people or invite them to events.in addition, they invest in channels of communication they control, such as their newsletter and email groups. Finally, they organise gatherings offline. They realise their choice of communication channels work better for some people than for others. For some, they might not work at all. If we want to increase our ability to rally support for our issues, we need to find more diverse ways of engagement. Where do we start?

Without naming names I would briefly like to refer to a conflict that arose between two people who I have been following who should and could, in my opinion, join forces in the face of a common cause. The first of these is a long-time Labour activist with strongly critical views on the issue of Israel and Zionism who was recently expelled by the Labour party's watchdog accused of being an anti-semite or making anti-semitic statements or criticising the new overly broad definition of anti-semitism.

It is difficult to know exactly what the accusations were and Labour UK have not offered any kind of opportunity for redress, leaving this individual to seek readmittance and possibly compensation or punitive damages through the courts. He has since made a strong stand against antisemitism and in the course of doing so, levelled accusations against other critics of Israel and Zionism, in an apparent effort to distance himself or regain his credibility. His efforts, through posts and threads on Facebook, led to heated discussion and recrimations and he has since shown himself unable to engage in intellectual or reasoned debate outside a narrowly defined range of topics. Thus, when engaging with others who pointed out that the influence of the "Jewish lobby" in Washington is hardly a secret, he refused to engage with the argument that Capitalism and Neoliberalism are not the only forces represented in the political arena and that nationalism and narrow ethnic interests can become closely aligned within Capitalist agendas.

It is a fact that accusations of a conspiracy of Jewish bankers and politicians was part of the anti-semitic tropes exploited by the Nazi's. This individual therefore defined any attempt to discuss this subject as anti-semitic and those pursuing the discussion as antisemites. The second person I call to account is a well-known writer whose first work offers not just an incisive critique of Israel and Zionism, but also offers an incisive examination of concepts of Judaism, victimhood and identity. This book was, in my opinion, well written and thought out. But its message was not welcomed by the Jewish community and many Jews from both left and right of the political spectrum have since criticised the author and called him an anti-semite and the work antisemitic.

This treatment, though hardly unexpected, seems to have had a profound impact on the author who now disowns his "Jewish" side. Because his arguments seem to expose something about Judaism that corresponds to claims of a Jewish/Israeli conspiracy, rejection by many Jews and accusations of anti-semitism appear to have driven this author further to the right, to adopt some of the language and ideas of the "alt-right" and to claim he is a philosopher rather than an activist (and hence, that his new work is "post-political"). Unfortunately this person, just as the aforementioned one, also has personal quirks like attention seeking and an uncanny ability to avoid criticism so that he is not easy to debate with. One either agrees with him or not.

At this point I would like to introduce a third person, who embodies, for me, a possibility for reconciliation that the former two individuals appear to reject. Her approach to accusations of antisemitism is remarkable in that she both invites reasoned criticism and allows her critics to speak (while remaining admirably calm, something I am not sure I could do) and also embracing a radical new possibility for herself by creating a new dialogue highlighting both her personal histor (ies) and historical continuit (ies) between slavery, racism, genocide, holocaust and Israel's human rights record and the Palestinian struggle for selfdetermination. Needless to say her work also embodies ideas about gender and Feminism.

This third person has adopted a creative and inquiring approach that allows her audience to engage with both the highly personal and subjective aspects of her subject and with the social, historical and political dimensions of movements and struggles that span centuries. Her approach is also decidedly un-intellectual, though certainly not without cognizance of theoretical and ideological discourses. Rather, her one-woman show provides an opportunity for her audience to situate themselves, their own place and the place of current events, within a much larger framework than that afforded by ethnocentric, gendercentric, euorocentric, Western centric discourses emphasising current concerns such as "the war on terror" ethnic conflict, ‘democracy' and ‘freedom'.

One possible benefit of this approach is that it neither necessitates distancing ourselves from our ‘ancestry' and inherited culture, or adopting a fundamentalist idealist stance that requires us to reject a priori criticism that "sounds antisemitic" racist or any of the other things the alt-right are currently attacking as being either motivated by personal interest or by "identity politics".in this approach, identity can be embraced while still acknowledged as something of a narrative that we can avail ourselves of to understand the world, but which we do not need to adhere to when it becomes an obstacle to such understanding, or where it simply provides a limited worldview.

All of the people discussed above are admirable for their commitments to and contributions to a BIG DEBATE that ultimately aims to expose the mechanisms of the current social and cultural paradigms, the political and economic system and to propose possible solutions. They SHOULD all be working together, complementing each others work, challenging each other to refine ideas and work out effective strategies.

Unfortunately, chances of this happening seem slim. Facebook provides a ‘soundboard' and echo chamber for ideas, but it does not provide a framework for reconciliation, for resolving differences and learning how to get along better. This is hardly surprising considering the extent to which social media are products of a Capitalist Neoliberal idealism that views individuals as separate and competing. Even as we renew our commitments to reasoned dialogue, peace, justice and so on, social media harshly expose the extent to which we are separated from each other, if not diametrically opposed by ideological commitments, self-righteousness and other psychological limitations — wanting
to belong, desiring connection, inability to form our own opinions based on research, etc etc.

I am angry, for the reasons stated above, that people who each have so much to contribute to each other and to all of us, seem unable to recognise the obvious ways in which social media impose on us the separation that is, it seems, a fundamental mode of Capitalism. We form allegiances with those who agree with us, but fail to work out our differences with those we disagree with, opting instead for the easy solution provided by boundless ‘choice'. Like being able to choose from 30 different brands of toothpaste, our political allegiances become weak, unstable, empty of real meaning and the possibility of solidarity and collective action. — Copyright: Daniel Waterman, Feb. 2018

Michael Dale Dodd claims to be an expert on healthy canines when in fact his intentions are to control every dog group and their members - on Facebook. He once said "small dogs are chick magnets" which is why he got on facebook to begin with. Since he was caught stealing funds he raised to help one of his members, he has spent four years slandering anyone that questions him or refuses to give in to his sick demands to control them, or their group, charity or rescue. He's gone as far as attacking families, neighbors, jobs and landlords. Simply do a search on Michael Dale Dodd, Michael D. Dodd of Winter Haven, Florida, especially on scam report. You can see for yourself what he does. Then check the groups you are in on facebook. In this link is a list of groups he adds people to without their knowledge or consent. If you've been added to one of these, quit, block and run. This pig is dangerous. He's a homophobic, diagnosed narcissistic sociopath, bigot, thief, liar, animal abuser and a violent career criminal. He is anything BUT knowledgable in the care of canines - and in fact has been fined, ticketed and arrested for their abuse. He will go on the internet and plagiarize an authors research to make it look like his own, all part of the "front" he puts on to give himself more credibility. Most recently he had 20 dogs removed from his trailer for hording and was ordered by a judge to get an education on their proper care before he could own another one. Copy and paste this link into your search bar to see who he and his little troll buddies really are. If you pay attention to this thread/complaint, watch Dodd or one of his aliases, fill it with more "proof" of slander and lies against people, me included. Not one attempt will be made to justify his own behavior. Because he cant. He's sick. Do your homework please! Research! Do not take the word of a very disturbed internet troll! Then share and be aware! And run as far away from him as you can.

I have been with facebook for twelve years. A couple of weeks after my anniversary with facebook, my account became ineligible. I asked facebook why, but they never responded. A month later they told me my account was disabled and that I could not be told why as it would be a safety and security problem. As a single parent that has not posted in months and only uses messenger these days, I could not understand how I could violate safety and or security? I believe strongly in the American way, I live in America, and Facebook is an American company, however they show no American Values. In America we have a right to know why we are being punished, and at least the right to defend our actions. While this may not be enough to keep my account, I should be allowed to know why I'm not allowed to keep my twelve year old account.

Facebook has blocked my access to its Marketplace feature for no valid reasons. The automated process sited that I had violated the policies, but I had carefully reviewed the policies and my product postings and I did not breach anything. The process has an appeal function that is useless since there is no way to actually communicate with a real individual. I suspect it's all automated and with flawed algorithms. The most frustrating part is that there is no one to speak to. I lost many sales because of being locked out and unable to reach customers who had been communicating with me. Prior to this I have an excellent rating.
Please note I was only using this feature to sell some used item I had, with the details of the items fully disclosed.

was blocked for violating comm standards and given no reason or able to communicate as fb continually says not at this time try later, BEEN trying for 2 days ! I HAVE POSTED NOTHING RACIAL, SEXUAL, OR THREATENING! I have posted political views but again nothing that would violate ANY standards, to me this is very much like censorship and should not be allowed in America! please check my page and if you find anything there let me know ! ONE thing I have done is reported all of the spam &scam pages that should be blocked but continually pop up to work for facebook and make tons of money !

This is Naomi Alyce Williams who lives in Tampa, Florida and is from Buffalo, New York. She is on GoFundMe begging for money to study in Japan and Panama. Apparently she wants to also spread her hatred of anyone who isn't black to those countries as well.

She makes it clear that she HATES white people, she refers to them as "Colonizas"(which is a racial slur against white people)

In her spare time she likes to associate with antifa and black lives matter which are ignorant hate groups. She works at Starbucks and purposely likes to get white peoples names wrong according to her twitter "SlimBellyBella" she loves to get back at white people in any way possible at ANY opportunity.

Here is what she says "Y'all... Starbucks hired me and I be in there [censored]ing up white ppl names for the culture... I dead [censored] spelled "Jeff" like "Gef" for the hell of it"

Then Naomi Alyce Willimas tells white people that "For all the sensitive pussies in my mentions" "STFU and enjoy your Pike"

These are the ramblings of a hate-filled [censored] who has inferiority complex and lashes out at anyone who is white in order to "get back at tha man" its petty and pathetic.

I am African American and people like Naomi Alyce Williams (Naomi Alyce) are setting blacks back 200 years with this kind of vitriol. Not a damn person alive here in the USA has had anything to do with slavery, so why are we still bringing that up?

Naomi Alyce Williams (Naomi Alyce) claims she wants to "study health law and have a career in international/national health policy making."

Now could you imagine someone who is so hate filled and bitter towards an entire race of people and then being in charge or making any policy that has to do with health?

Right now she works at Starbucks and "messes up white people's names for "The culture" (Meaning to "get back" at the white people for perceived "wrongs" that has created a bitterness in Naomi Alyce Williams.) So the only thing she can do is lash out by spelling names wrong. But if she is allowed to get in the health field she will likely do a lot more than get names wrong "for the culture."

Now if this person is allowed in the medical field in ANY capacity imagine what she would do to White "Coloniza" patients? She would likely mess up their paperwork or cause mix ups in medications ("For the culture")

Naomi Alyce Williams is a hate filled fool who does not represent African Americans in any way shape or form. This kind of person is looked at as ignorant and trashy by anyone with a 3rd grade education or higher. She encourages people to "support black businesses" (which in and of itself is racist)

How about supporting ANY business that treats customers right and has great services or products regardless of who owns it. In her own mind she thinks she is somebody, but the reality she is nobody and proves it with her hate filled venom against whites that comes out of her mouth.

Continuous popping up of im.facebook.com bringing next Roland Piano ads, this reported several times to both facebook and Roland pianos to no avail.This happens when I am working on another site or page please resolve I am fed up of it!

Is this because I am using an Amazon Fire tablet I have had no problem before!

I was told by facebook that the Roland post was now taken off, it is not!

When ordering items online or looking at my bank account it jumps to the im. Facebook page and Roland pianos.
This is very frustrating!
