Fraud on my account and customer support is useles...

I have been using Skype for several years but rarely use it to make calls.  I loaded money onto the account last summer and was shortly hacked.  Someone made hundreds of calls to Austria over the course of a few minutes.  My account was suspended by Skype as a precaution and I was prompted to change my security settings etc.  Then comes the tricky part.  Although Skype was aware that the activity was highly suspicious, it took no action to remedy it automatically.  I then filled out that stupid form Online and filled in the security questions to the best of my knowledge.  I do not remember the month or year I signed up as I have a life and I also delete old emails.  It was some time in 2010 maybe 2009.  I have filled in this form several times. I just want the money refunded but since there is no one to speak to in order to verify this account. I've been informed that there is nothing that Skype can do which doesn't make sense since I also saw two auto recharges on my account in the past month that were refunded when I included them in the same complaint addressing the fraud..  It's frustrating as someone used money in my account and now Skype has made it impossible to fix the problem.  I have been dealing with this for a while now. Are there any suggestions to remedy this?

Same thing is happening to me right now. Someone hacked my account and changed the primary email address and password on the account. Now I can't log in or reset my account. And to top it off, the only way I can "contact" customer service is to log in! I had to create a new account just to send them a message, which they responded to by giving me instructions on how to reset my password.
It seems that Skype is great with taking your money, but when you have an issue, they are nowhere to be found.

  • Payment withheld and customer support unable to help

    My payment for about $4,000 was withheld this month because of an outstanding $30 app ad campaign balance.
    The balance exists because my bank issued me a new credit card, replacing my old credit card on file. Ok, fine, I assumed I can pay the balance and have my payment issued, right? Wrong, the problem is that there is no way to pay the balance. I was finally
    able to add my new card as a payment option but even adding the new card as a payment option does nothing; the ad campaign remains unpaid and no payment can be issued.
    I've created support tickets and customer support has been unable to resolve this issue, with no end in sight. What few responses I've received from customer support all read the same way: "we are investigating the issue but have no updates for you
    at this time". Meanwhile I fully expect my next month's payment to be withheld as well, because the outstanding balance is still there.
    Has this happened to anybody else? If so were you able to resolve this? I find it hard to believe I'm the only one who has an outstanding balance for an app ad campaign.
    I am half-hoping that somebody higher up reads this who has the authority or resources to help with this. I'm amazed there is no solution for this after weeks. I am simply out of options, I have no idea what can be done about this.

    Hello Nate,
    You might not be able to create a new campaign in the payment failed state, but you can go to campaign creation page, add a new credit card and select the same. This will change the credit card associated with your account. If the card is good for swipe,
    the account will be unblocked during the next monthly swipe cycle.
    Please do so before the end of this month, so that your accounts get unblocked before the next payout cycle which is usually in the first week of every month.
    If you have other feedback, please do let us know at
    [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • Customs Allocation Account and Customs Expense Account

    Hi All,
    Can any one tell me what is the use of Customs allocation Account and Customs Expense Account.
    When and where these accounts will be used.
    If  possible provide with examples of journal entry.
    Regards
    Shashi

    Hi,
    Custom allocation iaccount are used with the landed cost.
    It's defined in Setup > Inventory > Custom Group. You will have to define both the Custom allocation account and the Custom Expense account. On the Item Master Data, the custom group is found on the Purchasing tab.
    In Purchasing/AP > Landed  cost, if the field Custom Affects Inventory is checked then your custom allocation account will be credited and the inventory account will be debited (inventory value goes up).
    If the field Custom Affects Inventory is unchecked, the custom allocation account will still be credited but the custom expense account will be debited instead.
    Hope this help
    Regards

  • Fraud issue and customer support

    I have been sent an email from Skype so say that there was fraudulent activity on my account. I then recovered the account but it says i need to contact customer support.  I have tried to specifically contact customer support to sort this out, but there is absolutely no way that I can do this on Skype as they keep sending me round in circles on this site, looking at the same old issues.  I follow all the help provided but it does not deal with the fact that I still cannot now use Skype and clearly need to speak to someone to sort this out. 
    It is very scary to get emails that say 'do not reply....you have fraud committed on your account' - how ridicolous is that?  and then to have me clicking all these links around the site to hear the same problems but not get an actual solution.  How can I use my account even though I have recovered it and, wisely, removed all my payment details from it?

    Same thing is happening to me right now. Someone hacked my account and changed the primary email address and password on the account. Now I can't log in or reset my account. And to top it off, the only way I can "contact" customer service is to log in!

  • Account theft, and customer support is useless

    About a month ago my Skype account has been used to send about 10 dollars worth of texts to different Chinese numbers (I only had that much credit left on my Skype). Personally I can miss the 10 bucks, but I was very shocked that the customer support does virtually nothing to help anyone in my situation: I contacted them, they limited my account access, then I had to go trough a couple steps to enable full access to my account again. That cycle literally does nothing. Like I said I can miss 10 dollars, but had it been more money left on my account I would be very disappointed with the limited amount of customer care. And I don't think I'll get any more skype credit. Anyone else who's faced similar incidents?

    what exactly does the customer support say or require you to do?

  • Skype account suspended and customer support will ...

    My Skype account was suspended by MS without any reason, I am 100% sure I have not violated any terms and conditions or even done anything out of the ordinary with my Skype accout.
    I have contacted customer support on multiple occations and they keep telling me to fill out the account recovery form. Every time I do this they email me back saying to fill out the account recovery form if I want to recover my account, so I am stuck in an infinite loop. The customer service representatives don't even seem to be real humans as they just give a canned reply and don't tell me how to fix this issue. There is no phone number to talk to a real human being so I am now stuck without access to my account and Skype has stolen my money since there was credit on the account.
    I will never purchase another Microsoft product again if this is how Microsoft treats their customers, I already own both Mac and PCs and I will simply use Mac from now on. Apple would never treat their customers with such distain.
    Microsoft, time to own up to your massive failing in this matter and resolve the issue.

  • Security question and customer support fail

    I just recently got a new number and went from an iPhone 4 to an IPhone 5C and don't get me wrong I love the phone entirely but, I tried going to the iTunes Store to download music and it won't let me. I used the correct Apple ID and password but it insists I use my security questions. Which I no longer know the answers to. So I figured how hard can it be to fix this. A lot freaking harder than I thought. I went to customer support and it said it would call me and assist. It never did. I "scheduled a call" several times. I waited for hours looking at my phone waiting just to not receive one. All I freaking want is new music on my phone and apparently the only way I can do that is with the answers to these stupid security questions. Someone help!

    Read this about how to change the security questions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you can't use these procedures because you don't have a rescue email address you will have to contact Apple. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    You can also call your country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with Account Security.
    You can also go to the ExpressLane at https://expresslane.apple.com and then iTunes > iTunes Store > Password and Security Questions and fill out the form.

  • Adobe photoshop clipboard and customer support.

    What does this error message mean and how do I deal with it?
    “Could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered”
    Also, why when adobe customer support gives you space to submit a question and you type in your question and submit it, does it bring you to this page where you have to retype your question? Why isn't Adobe customer support more user friendly??

    Hi Barb. Thanks for replying. I suspected I was in a customer forum, even though I was searching for Adobe support and everything I read on page I looked at gave me the impression I was contacting the company. I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6, and every so often I get these weird error messages that I don't understand. Using the Photoshop "help" link in the program is pointless. If you try the search engine, you can't even get anything to come up by searching things like "scratch discs" or "clipboard".  I have tried to copy and paste from other images I have opened and that still works, but I still cannot import my captions. And I don't know how to clear the clipboard or even how to access it. I finally shut down the program, uninstalled it and reinstalled it and started over. It was the only way I could figure out to get things working again. Thanks for your help.

  • Photoshop Photography Program and customer support issue

    Hello,
    I registered to the usual one app plan membership a couple of days ago (this is the first month). I just now noticed this great deal you are offering, Ps + Lr for 12.50eur / month and I'd like to know how can I switch to it.
    I'm waiting for half an hour on the phone on your customer support line and your chat is not working either, stucked at "2 customers in line ahead of you."

    Solved, after 40 minutes on hold on the phone. Luckily hangouts has a free plan, because no way I would have stayed on call for so long, from Europe. Chat is still dead in the water.

  • Problem with headphone jack on zen micro and customer support hel

    I have had a zen micro for about a month now and i am very pleased with my purchase. BUT a few days ago the sound suddenly changed whilst i was listening to it. i found out it was a faulty headphone jack. i emailed customer support to arrange a replacement and the replied asking to send back information about my player then they would send me a returns number.i did that and im still waiting for the returns number 3 days later!
    i was wondering if anyone else is experienceing the same problem as me and how long it takes for customer support to send you a returns number?
    im afraid i will eventualy get a relpacement and the same thing will happen again. anyone got any advice on how to avoid the problem?Message Edited by alexkelly on 02-02-2005 09:0 PM

    This happened to me as well after about a week. Like most portable devices I think the headphone jack is one of the weak points and can be easily jarred from its solder joints. I am taking extra care with the replacement Creative sent and I expect that it will not happen again.
    As far as getting the replacement, I would recommend calling Customer Support directly and explain what the problem is and they should give you an RMA over the phone. Be sure to have the player in front of you as they will need the serial number that is on it. I was very impressed with the speed of service as well. I called them Monday morning, sent my Micro back after the phone call (I used Priority Insured Mail, be sure to insure it whatever you use) and they sent me a replacement that arri'ved the following Tuesday, just 8 days which I have only had one other company beat as far as service ever. Also be sure to backup everything on your Micro before sending it as you will probably not receive the same one back and I believe they format them on the way in the door for various reasons. Also they will tell you only send the the player back, keep all the accessories as you will only get a player sent back to you. Good luck!

  • Faulty mp3 player and customer support page does not w

    I sumitted my problem online to the customer support but when I hit the submit button I get redirected from http://us.creative.com/support/contact/emailform.asp to a non-working URL http://dmzrespapp.europe.creative.com/kana/FRH
    I do not get an e-mail confirmation either. But maybe you can also help with my problem below
    I have an Creative Micro Zen mp3 player
    When I start or reboot the mp3 player it hangs at the 'CREATIVE' logo and stops responding. This started 3 weeks ago.
    I followed the steps below as suggested by Creative's knowledge base:.) Clean up2.) Format3.) Reload Firmware4.) Reboot
    At each of these steps the player does not hang (I can hear the sound feedback when I touch the control buttons), but I stays there for hours saying i.e. 'Cleaning up', 'Erasing Firmware'

    After I have read the FAQ I came across this last resort, tried it, and succeeded. Now it works again

    My Zen won't startup, what do I do?
    align=justify>If your Zen won't startup the first thing to try is see if you can access the Maintenance Menu (click here for the procedure) and run a disk cleanup. If this fails, or if you are getting the "hard dri've error" message on startup, listen closely to the Zen when it starts up. If you can hear the hard dri've repeatedly clicking at the end of the start up chances are the heads or related mechanics are jammed in some way. <B>At your own risk</B> you can try and free this by firstly powering the player down, then giving it a hard slap on the side. An alternati've and less drastic approach is to hold it in your outstretched arm with the screen towards you and twist your wrist back and forth as quickly as you can. This might indicate a problem with the player, so you may want to seek getting your player replaced/repaired anyway, especially if this happens more than once. Also if this procedure doesn't help you will also have to look at getting the player repaired, or if out of warranty you can try repairing the hard disk yourself. See the Articles section for guides on upgrading. Note that you <B>should not hit your player</B> in any other circumstance as you could damage the hard disk. Hard disks make clicking noises in normal operation.

  • Problems with Adobe account and Adobe support!

    We bought in December 2012 "Creative Cloud for teams" (10 licenses).
    I have since started our problems with support Adobe that continue today: (
    1. We do not receive invoices by e-mail - every month we have to ask several times adobe support on the current invoice and then wait for it a few weeks!
    2. We receive e-mail confirmation with errors - confirmation of transactions on a credit card that we receive by e-mail are wrong - no part of the information.
    3. No confirmation on Adobe account - on account do not have Adobe confirmation of financial operations for the month.
    4. No information about the subscription on Adobe account - There is no information about subscriptions purchased
    We contact every few days with Adobe and get the standard answer "please wait 2-3 business days..." ..... and nothing.
    Adobe...  why you're doing jokes about the business customer?

    Ehhh...
    Every company in Poland who buys a service or product Adobe need VAT invoice (
    required document).
    I have in my Adobe account information only payments for the month of December.
    For this month I print the invoice (screenshot below).
    But unfortunately there is no information on payments for the next month - a technical error Adobe account!
    My friend also has a company and subscription and have all the information in Adobe account (screenshot below).

  • License Transfer and Customer Support Nightmare - Please help.

    I have purchased a copy of Creative Suite and am trying to get the license transferred.
    I have been promised 3 times now via live chat that it will go through yet obstacles keep popping up.
    Initially the case was closed so I was unable to upload my recipient end of the transaction. Then I was told it was re-opened but that that the current license holder had to upload both forms.
    I have kept all of the chat transcripts so this is what was said:
    "******you have to contact ****** and mail your form to him and he will attach  the form containing your details . And then we will be able to authenticate that and then transfer the details."

    It turns out that a completely new case number has been assigned when I was told it hadn't.and that, as I initially thought, I need to send them my form as the recipient but am unable to do so because the case is not listed on my Support Portal case list.
    Can somebody PLEASE tell me how to make sure that Adobe have both forms attached to the same case No. so that this issue can be resolved. It is becoming a little Kafkaesque.
    Many Thanks,

  • I've been locked out of my iTunes account and Apple support say they can't reset it!

    Apple seems to have a problem in which some accounts become locked and cannot be unlocked.  Don’t bother responding with comment s like which i pulled form this site while tracking down my login issues:
    "IT'S YOUR ACCOUNT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IF YOUR STUPID ENOUGH TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT YOU CAN'T ACCESS THAN KICK YOUR OWN...TAIL!!! Pathetic cry babies....smh!"
    This is my issue.  My account has worked without an issue since I created the account 1+ years ago.  Then for some reason i was prompted and i could not sign into my account.  I went to iForgot site
         Requested Email Verification to unlock account – I request email verification but the email does not arrive. I know my account emsil account works.  I receive email every day to the email account from friends, family and even Apple (download billing receipts, and other apple notifications).  I created another "test" apple id and received an email without  This option does not work either because the verification email is not sent (or never arrives)
         Next I went down the challenge question path.  I cannot get past the enter birthdate page as it is never considers my birth date as valid entry.  And yes, i know my birthdate but it is no longer accepted as a valid input.
    I had a chat session with Apple support and they are aware of this type of issue but there is no process in place to fix these accounts. According to Apple Support (the person i chatted with) there is concern about protecting users identity by giving other access to your account.  I personally question this response because i had account issue with other companies that mange personal date (e.g. my Bank) and the issue was resolved.  Apple cannot or will not fix this issue.  Without resolution i can not get to content i have purchased but have not downloaded and i can not purchases or upgrade exiting apps.
    Any ideas?

    Apple's primitive security scheme was very visibly embarrased by a media writer who saw two of his devices more or less wiped clean while he watched helplessly due to a social engineering crack. (not a hack, a crack)
    You and a number of others have been caught between Apple's shutting down identity repair system and whatever unspecified fix.  How long are you stuck?  Well, they have your money already, and you consumers tend to be okay with the abuse, so they aren't in any hurry.

  • Combo of T61 and customer support problems

    My main problem is that my T61 freezes up.  It came with a 2 gig ram, sbbb Intel core 2 duo t7500 processor, 1 gig turbo memory window's ultimate 32 bit os and an 80 gig hard drive. This problem has been going on intermittently (odd) since I  received the laptop brand new.  I may or may not be able to move the cursor over the screen when it is frozen.  It does not high light anything, control-alt-delete does not work, nothing responds.  I have to manually hold down the power button to turn the system off.  
    The different things it has done, and not all during the same occurrence:  blue screen with white writing, black screen with white writing, black screen oxc 000000f-selected entry could not be loaded because application is missing or corrupt, the memory was dumped (I had used rescue and recovery backup disks then because I did not know if something was corrupt in the original software that came loaded on it), sometimes it checks the c-drive after being manually shut down, sometimes it does not, problem with window's registry (only did that maybe twice), and corrected master file table, corrected bit map (after checking c). Sometimes it freezes and gives no error messages during restart.  I do not have anything loaded on this system that is not compatible with vista nor anything that exceeds the ram. 
    When I had to use my rescue and recovery disks because everything crashed, I called tech support.  They told me I needed to update my drivers-especially my video driver.  I tried to tell them that I had been going to the lenovo website for driver updates, using pc doc, updating bios, doing a registry cleanup, defraging the hd, and of course window's updates.  So he gave me a link on lenovo's website for another update.  During that call, I told the guy that the recovery disks that came with the laptop loaded XP on my system.  He sent me out vista recovery disks-vista business, not ultimate, and it was freezing up on vista and xp-no matter what program I was using.  The next time I called, lenovo had my computer shipped back and replaced the corrupt 2 gig ram.  It came back with the same software it left with, so I know my hard drive had not been wiped.  On the third call I was told to update my drivers, check the hard drive using bios, that it was my web browser, remove the battery....  By this time I was wondering about technical service which leads me to my other issue.
    I called the month after my warranty ran out, because I thought I had an established history of problems with this $1600+ laptop that has not worked right, and I was told that the warranty had run out, they would not honor it, records after 30 days were wiped-so there went my established history.  Now someone please tell me why a computer company would not keep records of customers warranty work requests?  Especially during the warranty period.  I was then given the number to out of warranty claims who told me it was out of warranty (duh) and she gave me the number to entitlement.  They called me the next day, which was nice but unfortunately I was not expecting their call and did not have all my info available.  Entitlement told me that someone from tech support would call me within the hour.  My computer proceeded to freeze up-so I left it frozen while waiting for tech support to call.  They did not so I called them, was told my warranty was out of date and I was transferred to another number.  Now this entire time I had been polite in my requests and conversations, my family had even alerted them to  a billing error that would have caused another customer some problems.  The tech I was transferred to was extremely rude the entire time.  I was not given the opportunity to explain my situation-which was what entitlement said the call would be about.   I requested mediation, he told me someone would call me within two days, then he proceeded to hang up on me.  No one has called.
    I would appreciate some assistance, in my computer problems and how to get in touch with the right person about customer service.  Thank you.

    obviously you have suffered a lot with the laptop os not working properly, have you tried to disable the turbo memory, sometimes that cause alot of trouble.
