This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

so, this happened a year or so back. i was banned due to a supposed misrepresentation of age and im assuming its due to a comment ive made (in a number of occasions) in a chatroom in response to someone exclaiming im 12 turning 11, to which i immediately stated i was joking and revealed my true age. Alas, i got permanently banned. of course i disputed the...

IMVU Banned account

Hello, I was a new member of imvu I bought age verification, AP, NFT, Platinum Vip from imvu. I signed up for imvu creator program and derived some products from the products listed in imvu shop. But on 26 Aug 2023 at 1:10am[ist] my account @CYRU5 was banned by imvu saying that I created a ufi product even after receiving warnings, but I never recieved any warnings from them.

This is unfair as they directly banned my account and didn't compensate me the things that I bought in imvu.

Desired outcome: I would like my account back with the losses I faced for my account banned, or I would like a transfer of all my things in a new account.

IMVU Earned creator cash payout not received

On or about, 08/03/2023 Due to the nature of this company's illegal activities I was forced to close my account after 16 years dedicated as a Master Content Creator. They IMVU.com mandate that you must pay for a VIP account which I did in the amount of $9.99 per month if I want my cash payout. Any creators wanting cash payouts for their work must pay first for a VIP account or not get paid.

Upon closing my account due to this and other major infractions i,e,spamming my email for 3 months non stop, daily, holding my payout cash payments for weeks. I filed tickets to no avail for help in many areas and they ignore them and close them.

And now they took my earned cash payout my funds I had left in my account and refused to pay me my earned money.

My Names on IMVU.com were AngelLee731, Angelwingsfl

I want this resolved and paid the money I earned!

Desired outcome: I want a resolve promptly of the remaining money in the account of Angellee731, angelwingsfl

Is IMVU Legit?

IMVU earns a trustworthiness rating of 91%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds IMVU to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 15% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, IMVU is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with IMVU, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for IMVU. The company provides a physical address, phone number, and 2 emails, as well as 4 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

The age of IMVU's domain suggests that they have had sufficient time to establish a reputation as a reliable source of information and services. This can provide reassurance to potential customers seeking quality products or services.

Imvu.com has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Imvu.com has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

We looked up IMVU and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • While IMVU has a high level of trust, our investigation has revealed that the company's complaint resolution process is inadequate and ineffective. As a result, only 15% of 104 complaints are resolved. The support team may have poor customer service skills, lack of training, or not be well-equipped to handle customer complaints.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to IMVU. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Join the Class Action filed against them. they are nothing but a bunch of fat [censored] who sit on their couches and plant false evidence against creators that been there 15,16,16,17 + years because they have built up millions of credits so they can take them then sell to people who buy credits Rotating them hence " Costing them Nothing" and also because they think it's fun!

IMVU My account was banned permanently

You banned my account on April 1st 2023 at 12:42AM I been on imvu for 4 years and you banned me for a misunderstanding imvu said I had a inappropriate conversation with a minor I never engaged in that with a minor or meant too at all i didn’t know they were underage their old account said 18 so I assumed they were the same age, people lie about their age on here alot and no one bans them but you guys a loyal customer and I made a case about it and no one is listening to me I just want my account back this is a mistake You got the wrong idea , his old account said 18 but I texted him on my back up account on his new account and he said he is 17 which I wasn’t aware of , that would make us 2 years apart i turned 19 recently so this is a complete misunderstanding I did not know he was 17 and he is turning 18 in 2 months so that age gap is not that far so I hope to get unbanned im hoping and praying here

Desired outcome: I hope I get my account back with ease please imvu

IMVU My account was unfairly deleted

I had some accounts deleted at the game without my permission. My computer keyboard is old then some letters are erased, sometimes it's difficult to login. I made a passaword mistake with one account then imvu deleted more than one. I also use VPN to protect me then my IP change sometimes. I feel terrible about this! I just want my accounts back: mel300, chocotonegirl and lucco300. Imvu have my main email with mel300 but don't send me nothing about.

I'm complaining because it's not fair. I spend my money in the game to lose accounts for no reason? This is a moral damage.

Desired outcome: I would like my 3 main accounts back.

IMVU Lack of loyalty and huge misunderstanding

have had my imvu account for 15 years. LasciviousMel. I have bought AP. My age has been verified. I have spent so much money on my account as you can imagine...I was chilling in my room one day and we were on the topic of age. I typed. ‘I’m 33, but mentally I’m 12" and as we all know UK has banter. I was merely joking. I have never misrepresented myself as anything other than my age. 33. My account was banned. I contacted and explained my side of the story but they refuse to give me back my account. I explained that if I typed I’m 33, but mentally 80 that wouldn’t have been an issue right? I’m absolutely furious and explained it was just a joke. I don’t see myself as a child nor act like one online. They’re refusing to listen or understand and the customer service I’ve received is appalling. The levels of stress and anxiety I am experiencing from this is ridiculous. I have witnessed through my 15 years people going out of there way to create an account to harras people yet I'm the only who's banned due to a light joke about being young at heart. Where's the empathy and loyalty that I've shown you IMVU?

Desired outcome: Give me my account back.

IMVU Unfair suspension when on vacation.

On November 28, 2022, my account got temporarily suspended for traveling to another country. I did not know I had to contact support in order not to have this frustration. In the help ticket, they want the last four digits of the card in which I could not provide as I no longer have access to it. If I did, I would of said so. The ticket as been going on circles which is stressful for me, it could of been resolved by now if they listen and put themselves in my shoes.

Desired outcome: To return the account that is rightfully mine and to actually send a two authentication code when there is an unusual login.

IMVU The banned permanently my account accusing me of selling it

my IMVU account was 14 years old. more than a thousand dollars invested, VIP, AP and many things, 6 months ago due to personal problems I decided to close the account for a while and I did, after that I activated it and everything was normal until on Friday October 7th they disabled my account permanently for a false accusation of having tried to sell the account. I tried to communicate with them and they claim to have evidence that I tried to sell the account, I told them to show it to me and they were unable. After trying to get my account back for over 20 minutes, I gave up. I really don't know what proof they may have that I supposedly wanted to sell the account, I didn’t wrote or put that in my account. I dont wanna think that because of some joke in some room or some message which I don't remember doing or saying they have the right to take away an account with so much money and years invested. I think it is unfair and ill-intentioned. My username was @v4nixx

Desired outcome: I want my account back

IMVU IMVU Badge Purchase that didn't actually happen

Hi there, I was looking at IMVU badge creation on July 20th 2022. I was on their "create a badge" page. I did go right through to the confirmation page. There are 2 options on this page. Yes and no. I clicked neither of these, I just closed that page in my browser. I realised later in the day that I had been charged 90,000 credits and had a badge tile in my account. I know for certain I didn't click "yes" on the confirmation page, I just came off the page. Considering this amount of credits would cost around $50 during one of their 40% sales, this is a fair amount of money to be losing out on. I've tried to get help from their customer service agents and got nowhere. They also told me I can call their Redwood phone number. I'm in the United Kingdom and that call would cost me around $5 a minute, so that isn't an option for me either. I know IMVU has the ability to give out badges for free (they have previously done this) but I've been told removing this badge tile and refunding my credits is not an option.

Desired outcome: The badge tile removed and my 90,000 credits returned to my account.

IMVU "Wrongfully banning my account"

I have an account under the name of NovellaDarkReaper, and I logged on this morning to my account being temporarily banned (Last night I was on no problems). Apparently for "posting public photos that were inappropriate for the General Audience but we just discovered that you posted at least one other photo with inappropriate content" ive had my account for 5+ years now and ive never posted anything thats not already in the game also ive had those photos in my account for over 5 years. Also to mention that apparently they said ive been warned about this before but I never had and im not even sure of the photo in question as it hasnt even been told or shown. Theyve screwed us over with the VIP customer support system as I am a subscription customer and I cant even use any customer support services because I cant even log into my account and every option of support requires you to log in. I will be cancelling my subscription after the ban is removed as they havent given me the support they promised as a paying customer.

Desired outcome: Release the ban and to compensate for the time its taken away from my subscription as im not able to use it. i also want them to fix the VIP customer support system to be able to cater in the event that a VIP account is disabled or banned.

IMVU Unfair banning

Hey, I spent over 100 dollars maxed on my account (@yofavvirus3) and the very least you can do is either give my account which might I say was hacked and their is no evidence that I spammed it I was just on the account collecting spins daily there's no way someone could have possibly logged in which you promised security in your terms of service. So please take that into consideration and possibly refund me or allow me to have my account once again @yofavvirus3

Have a very nice day.

Desired outcome: I would like a release on my account so i can enjoy the game once again.
