    @ReserveBar Worst customer service ever!!! I ordered 2 Johnnie Walker 12 days of Discovery and only received 1!!! This was a Christmas gift. I contacted you on the 23rd and NO ONE has gotten back to me since. I have called, emailed, messaged on Facebook messenger and Nothing!!!!

  • Kat_E907 Kat (@Kat_E907) reported

    @JohnBarrowman Yeah I saw that in my Facebook messenger group with people from all over the world. It said some things may be restricted due to new rules but they’re trying to fix it. I’m guessing the new rules are good in theory to cut down on bad intent messages, but not good in practice.

  • venisew Venise(Van Whit)Whitaker (@venisew) reported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    Still working in my pjs. Not by choice by need for swift response time to calls for help: by phone, FB messenger/tags, text and email. PHL residents need rental relief, stimulus money, affordable housing and unemployment.

  • MattCoghill Matt Coghill (@MattCoghill) reported

    @FPWellman Facetime or Facebook messenger worked for us. Spotty internet and no phone service.... Maybe the culprit could be a disgruntled employee..

    @KLM what is the best way to get hold of an agent to help with a ticketing issue related to updated #covid regs? Have tried your call centres, whatsapp, and FB messenger to no avail. Thank you.

  • kfury Kevin Fox 🦊😷 (@kfury) reported

    When someone tells you, a near stranger, that they’re an introvert with major social anxiety with 1-1 conversations and therefore can’t help with your personal issue, why the hell would your next move be to Facebook Messenger Call them? Asking for a multiverse version of myself.

  • DKMew Darren Mew (@DKMew) reported

    @bt_uk how do I get help today? Fibre you fitted Xmas Eve stopped working already. Called the help desk and after a long wait got hung up on. FB messenger team not responding, my engineer says speak to helpdesk. Only waited 2 months for broadband and had it 1 day #WhatAService

  • PigAccount DSA Woke Misogyny Caucus (@PigAccount) reported

    I will bring the righteous fire of god down upon YouTube corporate office if they show me that ******* Facebook messenger app ad one more god damn time. Why give me the option of thumps up or thumps down for advertisements and then make me watch the ones I think suck. No mercy

  • Justin11914590 Justin (@Justin11914590) reported

    For anyone effected by the AT&T outage: if you can connect to wifi you make WiFi calls. You can still text from IPhone to IPhone. You can still use face time and FB messenger. Provided you are accessing a WiFi network.

  • jccandanedo JC Candanedo (@jccandanedo) reported from East Ham, England

    I’ve reported someone who has created a fake @Facebook messenger profile with my name and photo and who’s messaging my contacts and Facebook support says they don’t see anything wrong. My contacts have also reported them. Does anyone know how to make @facebook support help me?

  • newkinkunlocked 🔞Toya’s Gloryhole🔞 (@newkinkunlocked) reported

    Dawg!!! I have been trying since last month to download FB Messenger and Twitter to my IPhone & I keep getting these wack *** error messages! Those are the only 2 apps that won't download...#FrustratedAF

  • amyekeller Amy Keller (@amyekeller) reported

    This led to another round of phone calls to customer service, chats, and even Facebook messenger discussions. Repeated assurances not to charge her, yet--another bill came, and this time she was charged a late fee on top of the phone charge...

  • VermaakBrendan Brendan Vermaak (@VermaakBrendan) reported
