There is nothing like spending Monday putting out fires because well-paid people can’t do their job properly the first time around. The first was T-Mobile. Then spent hours trying to reactivate my Facebook account which is shadow-banned because of my political beliefs and being a vocal Trump Supporter with a webserver! 😎
Update 12/14/23: Finally got the T-Mobile resolved. After calling and finding out the rep updated my card but failed to update my address. I told the rep to initiate the payment and was told okay thanks for calling T-Mobile. Well, not exactly. I was getting text messages threatening to suspend my account and add a $20 fee.
So, once again I’m on the phone with the worst billing screw-up company that I have ever experienced for over 26 Years and this was the first my bill was late for payment! A nice lady in the Philippines tried to resolve the problem still existed after checking my card info and finding it was correct. She tried running a manual payment and it was rejected with the message, retain card! I’m saying to myself, WTF?? The Tmobile rep suggested that I call my card provider. It was the Big T’s fault. They were sending the wrong card expiration date. The rep had to put a manual override on my card. He also said Tmobile is having a big problem with this issue. And they gave me a $20 credit to my account. I’m sure they want to lose a long-tenured account! 🙂
The first fire to be put out was my cellular provider T-Mobile. I received a text message saying my monthly auto-pay payment was declined by my bank. So, I called their support department and got a young-sounding Asian girl who was having trouble speaking and spelling English. After about 10 minutes I asked her, are you in the Philippines? Yes, she replied and said how did you know I was in the Philippines? I replied, I’m 71 and have been around the block a time or two, which went right over her head. Turns out to make a much longer story somewhat shorter. I got another debit card because of a couple of small unauthorized charges. So around the 15th of last month, I called T-Mobile and gave the rep my new card number and an address change. Well, that rep didn’t update my billing address and the bank refused the payment. I know shit happens, but! 😆
The next was Facebook where I have around 30 friends, mostly my Thai girlfriend’s family, who went to be with the lord in 2019. So after Debbie and I split up and her daughter and son-in-law stole and sold everything I owned, I decided to close and permanently delete my Facebook account, I got to thinking about it after realizing I had many photos from our trip to Thailand in 2013. I am also the caretaker of her Facebook account. So, I started the reactivation process, and here came the fun part (sarcastic.) This was a week ago and even after providing my ID I still can’t get back in.
I feel like a dog chasing its tail. Tap here to get a login code via WhatsApp that never comes. I’m sure they know who I am and are messing with me. There’s no doubt my photo is on the company break room dart board. An example of their shadow-banning. I was working with a web server called Plesk that rolled over on its side and died. I’m a beginner to this piece of software that originated in Switzerland. But, it was returning a database crashed error upon logging in. I searched the web for the error I was getting. Tried several suggestions but nothing worked. I remember a Plesk support group on Facebook that I was a member of. So, I put a question about what my problem was. I waited for a reply but not a peep. This is a very active group with lots of commentary. Then it became clear that I was shadow-banned. Nobody could see my posting. I tried commenting on several active topics but no reply. There’s no doubt I’m on the Big Techs shit list being a Republican and a Trump Supporter who made America Great.
Why should I be punished because of my political beliefs? 😡
