  • irvankaa Body Like Lady Tsunade (@irvankaa) reported

    Oh yeah, last week I blocked someone on Facebook messenger (right 😮‍💨) after they told me they didn't care about my apology, then they tracked my IG DOWN to DM me and continued to be big mad about said thing they didn't care about...😮‍💨

  • boy_lanky Lanky Boy (@boy_lanky) reported

    @waitrose I’m surprised that not only do you add £20 to my shopping order after I’ve checked out due to YOUR technical error. But you also don’t respond to tweets or Facebook messenger. Is this really good customer service? #waitrose #Johnlewis #poorcustomerservice

  • CHMRweather CHMR Chief Meteorologist James Follett (@CHMRweather) reported

    @TFDiDesign Please msg me ASAP!! I have been having problems with buying the PACx and have yet to hear back on Facebook messenger, this is starting to bother me... and would like resolved asap, please! I would like to try and give a good review about TFDi, I can't if no reply

  • the_knapster Sarah Knapper (@the_knapster) reported

    @SkyHelpTeam From Facebook Messenger: "Unfortunately, due to reduced call centre staff, there are no agents available on this service." Dana Strong has a lot to answer for. 1 hour 4 minutes waiting Live Chat now. More like Comatose Chat.

    @22mellie @RogersHelps I had the same problem in Oshawa, and so did others I know and I was blown off by fb messenger support that there was "no outage"

  • thebundok Christopher Hill (@thebundok) reported

    @KLM Hey KLM, my wife has been trying to get a response from your customer service, regarding her flight in two weeks, for over a week. She has tried phone, imessage and FB Messenger and each has been ignored! Please respond!

  • JackGordonYT JackGordon (@JackGordonYT) reported

    Since when is Facebook messenger a streaming service? Like I get these ads and maybe I would try watching the show accept my Facebook messenger is just a messaging app like I wouldn’t even know how to access them

  • JasmineIbikunle TRAPPOLINI (@JasmineIbikunle) reported

    @CBHelpTeam Yeah I understand but when people need to make emergency amendments to their orders 24 hours isn't quick enough. Your competitors have instant messaging services or a number to call. You have a Facebook messenger service- that's Instant messaging.

  • PeterVogel Peter Vogel (@PeterVogel) reported

    Any FB Messenger users here, preferably the desktop/web version? A few changes appeared yesterday. One, presumably unintentional, is that that text pane on the left is blank and text messaging is not possible on that screen. Anyone else have this issue?

  • LivingLegion Go Wild, Dog! (@LivingLegion) reported

    Yup. Their ''website for applications'' was down for maintenance. Asked me for my Driver's License front AND back, through FB Messenger. I'm not stupid.

  • DavidAd97423135 David Adkins (@DavidAd97423135) reported

    @pokeAK101 So Facebook messenger is the problem lol been playing since day 1 with messenger on also never been a problem

  • vstuart Stuart Celarier #BlackLivesMatter (@vstuart) reported

    @markrussinovich Do you have Facebook Messenger installed? My friend mentioned a rare disease and within a few minutes I started receiving ads regarding that disease. I was not running the app at the time. One of too many coincidences. I uninstalled Messenger and never had the problem again.

  • HarpSilver H is for Harp (@HarpSilver) reported

    @EdwardFerguson_ I don't blame you wish I could but too many stubborn friends and craft groups on there that won't switch to twitter. Similar problem with FB messenger I genuinely wish people would embrace @signalapp but I've been told by a friend not going to as all my friends on FB messenger

  • BeesDawgs Belinda Thomas (@BeesDawgs) reported

    @rainSouthAfrica Please tell me how do I get hold support. Phone no. gives 'subscriber unavailable' message. Emails come back saying it is no longer in service. No option on the website to log a call & no response via FB Messenger. This is the worst customer service ever.

  • caitofthecorn caitlyn (@caitofthecorn) reported

    @SproutSocial I need help! I’ve reached out via email and Facebook messenger with no resolution.

  • tesscraw LadyD (@tesscraw) reported

  • WardsProperty Wards Property (@WardsProperty) reported

    I tweeted yesterday as I was awaiting delivery of my order, ignored by Facebook messenger, Twitter DM, we placed the order on the 16th of July order number 101840646 I have DM to you but have not had any response, even the DM you requested ignored. SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE 🤬

  • yaydumpsterfire just ******* kill me🏴✨🦈💕 (@yaydumpsterfire) reported

    👵🏻: “Oh okay well I saw online that phone companies are censoring text messages.” Me: “Phone companies don’t have Terms of Service like Facebook does that censor what you’re saying. Phone companies don’t monitor that. Unless you’re on FB messenger you won’t be censored”

  • Will__Phoenix Will Phoenix (@Will__Phoenix) reported

    @SKYserves also, when will the Facebook messenger service work again? I need a copy of my bill, but the bot isn't even seeing the messages

  • HIsufllari Henri Isufllari (@HIsufllari) reported

    @airfrance Hello, I need help locating my lost baggage. I have tried to contact you via fb messenger since yesterday and no response. I have used the world tracker and it says "The system cannot locate a file for your entry, contact your airline for more information" Please help!

  • HUMBLExSWAGGER Daniel Honaker (@HUMBLExSWAGGER) reported

    @Facebook can someone help me with disabled Facebook payments? I need my payments to work through Facebook messenger.

  • v_ankit21 Ankit Verma (@v_ankit21) reported

    @ZARA_Care It has been a nightmare to speak to Zara customer service. I do not understand why they do not reply on chat. Even they do not reply on Facebook messenger. Firstly, you sent a pair of poor quality shoes. Secondly, you guys have poor customer service. STOP FOOLING!!!!

  • davidgeller David Geller (@davidgeller) reported

    @ParallelsCares Is your company still operating and are you providing support for the Access product that I paid for? My request for help has gone unanswered for many days. Tried calling, FB Messenger, your chat interface, etc. Seems like, perhaps, you’ve shutdown.

  • Dearbhaila13 Dearbhaila_ (@Dearbhaila13) reported

    People texting me on fb messenger cuz Snapchat is down 🤮 #fixit

  • erica_marie1130 Erica Marie (@erica_marie1130) reported

    --rid of Facebook and Facebook Messenger would help. It did; tremendously. But, not enough. I'm removing what no longer serves me. And right now, that's Instagram and Twitter. I'm not leaving for good. I'm just gonna log out, and stay away for awhile. Who knows how long that--

  • steventsh Steven Tan 🇲🇾🇵🇭 (@steventsh) reported

    Globe support chat on Facebook Messenger is really good for nothing. Been trying to get help for a week but nothing helpful came my way. Couldn’t even actually chat with a support staff. Not very nice to deceive your customers like this. @talk2GLOBE

  • kerry_khall Kerry Hall (@kerry_khall) reported

    @ow4kids re order ref 21843. I have an issue with my order - shorts received instead of trousers... Tried calling, no answer, email - no reply, fb messenger, no response. Please reply so we can sort. Thank you

  • thewire7 Michelle Kent (@thewire7) reported

    @LookfantasticCS Hi Rebecca, you contacted me on FB messenger and I’ve responded so please reply to me on that. I’m becoming exasperated with the shocking service.
