    Ah, it’s so hard to ask for help when everything is automated on your end @LBCexpress ano? Makikipagusap nalang sa robot, ganon? Fone, fb messenger, twitter dms. I just wanna know when you’ll redeliver my package, it cant be track by your tracker. Your service sucks.

    @TheSingleWoman PLEASE help us out on your FB page. I’m about to unfollow it due to being hit on by men on there. That’s not why I’m on your page. I love your posts and your books. Some are using female names. I’ve tried messaging you on FB Messenger but no response. Please help!

    @vuecinemas it is impossible to contact you! I have a booking and need to modify it, can't do it online as booked with vouchers, website chat bot can't help, fb messenger not responding, phone line cutting off or constant hold.

    @RoyalCaribbean We are very disappointed with your customer service especially once off the boat. Over 2 months ago we submitted a request for reimbursement due to an emergency medical evacuation delay. We emailed, sent FB messenger as suggested. It is still not resolved.

  • olifisthename Mary Olif (@olifisthename) reported

    @superjanella @talk2GLOBE @enjoyGLOBE It will be fixed soon. My friend also has internet issues before and it has been resolved immediately. She just reached out thru Globe's FB Messenger.

  • JChopra93 Jay Chopra (@JChopra93) reported

    @margojj You need to link your fb Messenger and insta for it to work. I had this problem before when I uninstalled the Facebook app

  • maerlynofmiria Steve Mann (@maerlynofmiria) reported

    @thedocmoonshine @alan9878 The facebook Messenger app suddenly developed a voiceover specific bug in the summer of 2016 which hid the options in chat screens from Voiceover. People sent feedbacks, nothing was done. The feedbacks continued, they claimed they didn't know why the problem was happening. TBC

  • Perchinio2 Perchinio (@Perchinio2) reported

    @MattHoyOfficial I do it because I had an account in my real name and some ****** took a dislike to something I said. Tracked me down on Facebook and started sending me obscene messages and death threats on Facebook messenger.

    Finally resolved an unread Facebook Messenger notification after years of on-and-off attempts at finding the pesky culprit. Archived marketplace message from like 3 years ago was the problem. I’m now at inbox zero again, as god intended.

    @MumbaiPolice, @mcdcu ,Need help regarding complaint against a person who has sent pornographic videos on FB messenger,What should be done in this case???

  • maerlynofmiria Steve Mann (@maerlynofmiria) reported

    @thedocmoonshine @alan9878 It's hardly my fault that a lot of people have gone "go along to get along" over the past few years. I take it you're unfamilliar with the boondoggle that went down in 2016 involving the facebook messenger app?

  • beachiekels Kels (@beachiekels) reported

    @LBCexpress can I please speak to a live agent to help me track a parcel that has no updates since Jan 30? Tried to reach you through FB messenger, phone number, and Instagram only to be directed here. Then only a bot answers me on your DM. Pls assist

  • PLDT_Cares PLDT Cares (@PLDT_Cares) reported

    @yyxzai Just to confirm this error message "client is not permitted to request this method" are you receiving this when sending us a PM on our Facebook Messenger or when you send us a DM here on Twitter?
