    @CNBC @facebook Have a Facebook messenger pay could be used worldwide as Vodafone cash. You'll fix everything if you implemented that. Only one hand of people around the world can do it. Do it before Amazon or Alibaba bring it.

    Can anyone help…. I’m being hassled by a bloke on Facebook messenger called Buster…. He won’t stop sending me videos of 1970s glam rock groups…. (Mainly The Sweet). So does anyone know a way, there’s got to be a way, to block Buster, I just haven’t got a clue, what to do

  • DecaffDog Brian Ruff 🇺🇦 (@DecaffDog) reported

    @SafyHallanFarah Makes sense. I can tell you that I just drop the channels with my friends down to one: texting. That way I have more control and can avoid SM time drains (ironic I know while typing on Twitter). I don't use FB messenger, IG or SnapChat (or whatever TikTok is).

  • AtheoOSRS Atheo (@AtheoOSRS) reported

    @ScammerPayback Not sure if this has been brought up before but yesterday morning, FB Messenger had issues with payments. When I called the first number Google displayed for customer support, it ended up being our favorite support team that wanted me to download Any Desk.

  • dbcarlucci Bert Carlucci (@dbcarlucci) reported

    @airtransat I tried Facebook Messenger but all I get is automatic responses that have nothing to do with my issue. My next step is to file a complaint to the CTSA. Getting a refund from AirTransat seems to be like getting blood from a stone.

  • BeccsleeD Rebecca Davis (@BeccsleeD) reported

    @ZARA Could you PLEASE stop using T Force shipping service? I’ve had three shipments go undelivered in the past month totaling over $1,000 that has not yet been refunded to me. I’m spending hours on the phone with T Force, on Zara chat and on Zara FB Messenger.

  • Godwinughels sureplug🔌💇🏽‍♀️👑 (@Godwinughels) reported

    @ZenithBank This bank is frustrating, you don’t reply messages on Facebook messenger, so many times i tried to communicate a current situation but will never get a reply. Even today i have issue swiping my debit card on a POS that wrote timed out but i was debited.

  • jovan747 Jovan Nepaul (@jovan747) reported

    My phone is not working and is dead. You will have to Whatsapp me or fb messenger me. #deadphone

  • CarrieDraws Carrie X (@CarrieDraws) reported

    @joncoopertweets He's going to ultimately create a platform similar to if twitter, paypal & facebook messenger had a baby, but with news verification. He needs to charge for it, so, he's going to create chaos, then fix it and ultimately, you will be so thankful, you'll hand over money for it.

  • May_July_Nov May de Leon (@May_July_Nov) reported

    What's with FB messenger? Is it down?

  • EmmashardJones Emma Jones (@EmmashardJones) reported

    @Longleat Beautiful place but not such great customer service. Tried x7 to get through on the phone. Email says 7 days for reply and no reply on fb messenger. I need to speak to someone about a query. How am I meant to get through to you?

  • Moe_for_now Moefornow (@Moe_for_now) reported

    @CNBC @facebook Have a Facebook messenger pay could be used worldwide as Vodafone cash. You'll fix everything if you implemented that. Only a one hand count of people around the world can do it. Do it before Amazon or Alibaba bring it.

  • MowerBlade1 Mower (@MowerBlade1) reported

    @francois_82 @TMobile Messages constantly spin or don't even send. Calls drop horribly. I know this sounds insane but thank goodness for FB messenger during an emergency because t-mobile just let service go to crap. Been with them for 6 years. I've seen the decline in service.

  • smokinjoep85 Smokinjoep85 (@smokinjoep85) reported

    @The_Oddigy I'd be down. Or even a fb messenger group.
