Electronic Arts (EA) review: I won the jackpot, but they wont pay! 220

I cannot get into pogo, don't find a place to sign in. HELP...
Wilmatee@aol.com...

I won &3003 in on Jan. 9th and after tons of contact with pogo and getting stonewalled everywhere I went I am now getting a lwayer. I have reported them to the B.B.B. have filed a complaint on [redacted] and am going to write to the C.E.O of EA. I am also contacting the I.R.S. so they cant claim any payments to me. I have tons of e-mail from pogo saying I did in fact win but they wont tell meanything else. They just wont pay. Its unbelieveable.They even gave me a fake phone number! Please anyone else withthis problem do something about it! Stop letting them do this to you or we will never get our money.This is the worse scam I have ever seen.Its world wide, just think if everyone got together and did something about it? Im trying to help you guys by doing all this..do something to help me!

I won the jackpot in makeover madness on Jan. 9th. They have confrimed I won it.I have e-mails from them saying I did in fact win. Almost 6 months and so many e-mails to pogo and I have not received a stinking dime! At least I have the proof that I won! I am fighting this no matter how much it costs. I defended pogo when people told me I would never get it, wow was I stupid.They even gave me a fake phone number to call.If I can win this case maybe I can help all the others who got cheated. Contact the C.E.O. of pogo.File a complaint on [redacted]s, do everything you can. DONT GIVE UP! Also tell the I.R.S. so pogo cant use your winnings for tax reasons!

it looks like this site has been taken over by auto programs, here is the question i would like to know the answer to.pogo has all legal rights to their games its like having a patent? i would like to know why they don't sue the makers of these programs? is it possible they create then to turn around and accuse real players of useing them, i recently lost my account for the first time in 10 years, i was fed up emailing them about players cheating using messenger in the card games which i happen to enjoy the most, i've never been violant to anyone but i have recently been so violated by multi account user who taunt me until i use such language.i'm the first one to admit its not the right way to go about this but it seems its the future of pogo, maybe players should sent a letter to there sponsors letting them know what they are doing to the members who have trusted them to pay when a jackpot has been won, i'm sorry for everyone who is going through this its unfair and degrading .i asked for pogo to help even sending them names of the players stalking me yet not unlike many others our accounts have been disabled ...10 years 4 violations one of one which was a repeat of something said in chat .if i renew my pogo i should get three strikes not 1 for getting frustrated because the do not help us.its a scam for sure, the should have to pay and if they do create these cheat programs they are in violation themselves.good luck everyone.some players have multi account for harrassing players maybe pogo employees who want us to lose our account due to violations.why about 100s of complaints do pogo still allow them multi account making them money ?.i'm never going back and i will let as many player know about this as possible.

Are you a member of Club Pogo? If so, this is the annual fee for the Club membership. It is an automatic renewal. If you don't want the membership, I think if you go to HELP, it shows how to cancel.

I paid my subscription and i cant get on lottso to play. they let me play the other pogo games but not lottso, why?

I have a complaint. I logged onto Pogo today. I clicked on to card games and I wasn't allowed to play, I assume you froze me out. I tried several times and the same thing happened. I would like an answer as to why this was done to me. My screen name is Grandms 94331. You must have a reason and I would like to know why. I am angry that you can do this to someone without an explanation.

I think the worst part of pogo is the cheaters and the lack of response by pogo. People run cheat bots all day, everyday and no matter how many times they get reported they are back at it the next day. Its to the point that the only thing playable are the solitary games, (hardly worth paying for). If anything I think pogo should be harder on cheaters, it ruins the gaming for honest players. I think they don't tell cheaters how they detected them for fear of giving info that would make it harder to detect in the future. I do think cheaters should be confronted and penalized when caught instead of waiting until they win a prize. The chances of winning are so low that it is not a useful deterrent. I also find it ridiculous that people seem to think cheating is OK unless it is spelled out that it is not allowed in the terms of service.

If i win any money from pogo and i don`t get it they`ll be hearing from me very quick, this is not a joke! i will . You shouldn`t be fooling people like that. Karma is something else .What you do to somebody else it`ll be coming back on you 7 times 7.

Those who question people on whether they cheated or not are completley irrelavent because if you cheated then your account would of been disabled or banned. Yet pogo waits until you get a jackpot "money" to infor you of your "cheating habits" and forfit your prize. How convient! Im a current club pogo member and have been a member since 2001 with no luck at wining any cash prize or anything other then wallpapers or screensavers. But ive always thought that they where liers and nobody actually one or less then 1% of those who play. Seriously if they are scamming people out of money then they need to be shut down and pay everyone back for loss. Goodluck to you all

I started pogo games as a monthly member at 5.99 a month. Then decided to upgrade to a yearly member at 29.99 a year, but they are still charging me the 5.99 and the 29.99 yearly fee. I cant get any help from them. Any suggestions!

I have been booted out of trivial pursuit for the past 3 days and when I answer all the questions right the second time because of being booted out the first time I just get 3000 tokens instead of 7000. What can I do?

How come the only complaints that get dealth with are the ones that are to Pogos bennifit?

please turn pogo onpaid11/17/2010 for 1 yera with checking account have proof

i adree with you all, , , i havent won anything but sort of knew that they wasnt truthfull about paying ppl because i have been playing everyone bingos and i have bingoed over and over and i dont get my points, , , , it says 0 for my bingos someone needs to start a class action law suit against them for frauding paying ppl like us .

Can't the Better Business Bureau do anything about Pogo not paying out jackpots? That seems like a scam and if money is being paid for the service, I would imagine Pogo would have to give a better reason then "You cheated but we can't tell you how or when". It would definitely be worth contacting the BBB for I think. Maybe I am wrong but it is worth a shot.

I can't get into the games to earn badges, plus it takes forever for the games to open up

Ok here's the scoop. Pogo is crooked and corrupt. This is very evident and they defraud people out of their money. But the power is in our hands:
1. We as a society need to stop paying Pogo to play their games (seriously, if you pay to play you are an idiot)
2. There is nothing preventing us from filing our own lawsuits against them. If they start having to represent themselves in hundreds of lawsuits, then it will be costly for them. The problem is we never get off our butts and do something to the people or companies that harm us.
3. File complaints with every relevant government agency and newspaper you can think of.
4. Stop playing pogo altogether so the number of views for each ad goes down and;
5. Write personal letters to the executives of the companies that advertise on their site informing them how Pogo commits fraud and lies and that if they continue to advertise on Pogo that you will never buy their products or services again. Most ethical companies will want to disassociate themselves from Pogo.
7. The best way to crush them is to hit their pocket book.

I feel sorry 1, 000% for any victim and it's unfortunate that these things happen to us...but we REALLY need to quit complaining and start taking action! Inaction, is how most of these crooks like Pogo continue on successfully!

Start when Pogo own its great made lots friends, not there anymore.

No one can cheat at pogo games, they program computer for cheating, ask pogo under another, saying club no ads cannot goes so many, all friend not there anymore been with them over six years, don't get better get dirty, nasty.

You guys are a bunch of cry babies. No offense. Have a nice day- smile. You're spending your life playing games on a computer. Isolated away from life. Do something else.

Did you really not cheat or try to swindle pogo? Only you know the truth!

Too bad you can't sue-- You're not paying anyone anything. They let you play all of these games for free. How much are going to sue for? Oh you have a membership? aww... well, now you can go play dress up at the pogo mini store.

Sincerely,
Not A Hater

If you think anything I said was offensive, go to the bathroom and sulk about it.

I am a member and have been for years, I have a hard time getting on Pogo. What can I do to help this matter. If I cant get on easier, do not charge my card for another year.

Thank You
Ermal

I don't understand, if someone is cheating, wouldn't they win tons of times? Sounds stupid they are sending people mail saying they are cheating. I never won myself. But seeing this, it makes them look bad. Not everyone cheats and it's too much a coincidence for every winner to be "cheating". They should look at past game play and see how many times one is losing before accusing a winner.

I also won the pogo jackpot spin and to this day the badge dissappear. I am sick of this crap. They claim I use some kind of device to win. Yeah I use my fingers! Pogo you disgust me! my screen name is UsViMaGgLe

oooo my gosh u are taking a complaint and now u want me to play a game gosh what have i got into here are u people trying to help people or get them more money gone this is crazy or am i just taking this all wrong i hop e u all are doing what u say u are doing and help us seniors and other people our money athat is what i am asking of u all and stop this crap happening to us thanks

There's no way you could have won a jackpot in Spooky Slots on Pogo on 12/12/09. It's a holiday game and is only available for a short period of time each year. This year it was removed on November 16.

To all you people who were told you cheated...let me ask you this...did you ever, at any time in your entire time on Pogo ever use aut0-play, which includes programs that "help you get badges faster" and/or "win lots of tokens", specifically those programs which you usually have to download from a third party site and pay for...have you ever used ANY shortcut given to you by someone in a chat room. Have you ever used a back door found on one of the many Pogo fan sites? Have you ever used tokens obtained anywhere from someone other than Pogo itself? Have you ever done or said anything which could be considered a Terms Of Service or billing violation, even if you did not receive any sort of warning about it at the time of the event? Do you even KNOW what's in the Terms of Service? If you don't, you should read them because if they didn't pay you one of the things I named, or others I didn't think of, would have happened.

I would like to a person in billing and get my account straightened out . I want subscription for 1 year only and want the charge on my old credit card reversed

I changed my billing info . Youu charged me for 2 additional years plus an automatic charge on my old account credit card. I desperately would like to talk to a person. The phone number listed was out of service

I for one only won useless screen savers and wall paper so i dont know how u all are feeling but i for one know i would be pissed off too why dont you report pogo to the BBB.org "Better Business Bureau" they will look into the situation and must get a good answer from the business and plus it will make pogo look even worse since they are having alot of complaints

This is the farthest I have gotten in making contact with Pogo since my original request
in 2006. I really would appreciate a response from Pogo as to what they plan to do and what I need to do.

I have tried since 2006 to get Pogo to remove the $5.99 charge on my Chase credit card.
At that time I had unsubscripted to Pogo games. What do I have to do to get the put in action. I have a printed out copy showing that I had asked to unsubscripted to the games and it was ok'd via computer. Please let me know what actions I have to take to get this resolved. The $5.99 isn't a lot but it adds up and I do want it removed. Do I have to go to a small claims court? My email is mgrannyfive@msn.com

I have a old computer and can't upgrade to pogo demands. I have been a pogo member for many years. I do not have the money to get a new computer so I guess I will loose my club pogo. I do not think that is fair. Do you?

Someone shoulsdput a stop to POGO.COM.not only do they not payout when you win, but the people that work for them know nothing about the game, or any game they have, i bought a subscription for my eieghty year old father, bless his heart, he played it everyday trying so hard to win something, we shared his progress and talked about how much fun it was, finally he won, however they never paid him, and i couldnt even get any response from there site, its a complete ripp off, and there people who run the site didnt have any idea what i was talking about when i finally did get a response, how can they steal money and it be legal, they have no compassion what so ever if you have a problem, nor do they have any idea how there games work, there online supprt could not answer one single question about any of the games, after learning they had no itention of paying, i decided i would ask a simple question about one of there games, i asked over and over different questions, i never got one single answer, if you dont believe me, try to ask them, i think the person who answers is someone out of the country who hasnt a clue about there games, its a complete total ripp pff, they should be put in prison, lieing and stealing is against the law,

And what did they say about your complaint?

also be aware that pogo.com is linked to a site called surfaccuarcy.com which trys to install adware and other software when signing up for pogo. after singing up for pogo i caught an intrusion attempt from an IP address which i traced back to surfaccuracy.com they attempted to hack into my hard drive, my internet explorer, and a few other files

I am sure the company is a nervous reck because of this "signed" complaint. Oh wait, they will never see the complaint because you posted it here thinking complaintsboard.com is going to do something about it.

i have been playing pogo for two year's now i'am told that i'am bar for what reason i don't why because i did nothing to be bar so can someone help me get back my pogo . if i did do something wrong i'am sorry. i'am a sick woman. i love may pogo please help me .stardust5618@yahoo.com pogo is stardust5618pp
