Skout social media

I have been with this app for over 3 years, I'm transgender, I feel this app is bullying me. This app also always terminates my live shows without valid reason. On Thursday the 26 of July my live feed was terminated yet again by Skout where I was wrongly accused of not showing a profile photo. The excuse I was given by Skout was false and a lie. I'm sick and tired of being bullied by Skout. I would like a full explanation as to why I'm having my live shows cut without violating the terms and conditions and why this app has made me a bullying target?

I'm pregnant and can't be stressed.

Skout log in

You're stupid app won't let me log in. It keeps saying "Based on the information you provided, you are not eligible to register at this time."
I've had this app for like 2-3 years! I'm not registering, I'm logging in! You guys need to fix you're [censored] because I am now pissed off because I had notifications from somebody I wanted to talk to! MeetMe messed too because somebody hacked my account and changed my password and because I only have one email o couldn't get back on and I had to switch apps, and now this one has gone haywire too! This is absolutely ridiculous and I shouldn't have to go through so much crap just to talk to some people online!

Skout messaging.

This is the second time I've had this issue. I will be having conversations with a person for a week or two. And then it just disappears. Is that a bug? It's happened when I've met really cool people. I understand that the chat will dissapear because someone blocked you, but in this case it seems highly unlikely. We had great conversations and were getting along great. If you could help resolve this and get me to chatting to them again I would be ever so grateful.

Skout about 9,000 diamonds have been stolen from my accounts

I have two accounts on Skout one under [protected]@gmail.com under the name twistedsister69 and I had over 2, 500 diamond almost 3, 000 the other account is under [protected]@gmail.com and I had over 5, 500 close to 6000 diamonds as of April 25 around 2am-3am. I logged on around 4pm or 5pm and my diamonds were all at 0 on both accounts. Someone has hacked into my accounts and stolen all of my diamonds... I am using these diamonds to pay off my college loans off not to buy things this is serious to me. You will find that I did not cash out any of these diamonds cause I don't even know how to and was under the impression that you had to have at least 25, 000 to cash out. Your website has a serious security issue this has happened to two of my close close friends on this site and I don't know many people their names are Santos and baby girl Tejada both had a very large amount stolen from them and I was informed by them that your company didi nothing about it. This is unaceptable and I expect to be fully compensated for the loss of my diamonds and competed 1, 000 extra for the effort it took me to write this out I have already written this five times and something is wrong because everytime I submit it it goes back to the start and I am getting frustrated. I tried contacting you via phone but your 888 number prompted me to press one and enter my credit card number for some gift certificate then rand a dozen times and hung up the 215 line had a automated message and just disconnected your company is unreachable I will try again today as I have other complaints that are more serious than this. I would like whatever the amount of 10, 000 diamonds to be transferred into my paypal account asap if I still have it I will make a new one if need to. I do not trust your site with my diamonds. Something is seriously wrong because this is happening to many people and it is theft either from your company or from a hacker either way i'm sure you are insured for this and if not you might want to look into getting insurance for it because it is happening to often and in great qualities. I am going to alter my name just incase and change my password and shout id. I find this all to be unexceptable. I spend a lot of time on this site live streaming and answering messages some of which are simply perverted and disgusting. You have no idea how many pictures od male genitals I have been traumatized seeing via live streaming in my box or in my messages and I report every one. If action is not taken promptly and I am not reimbursed I will start a campaign to get people to move over to liveme.com they have daily prizes and awards and lessons on how to broadcast regarding times and for how long and what kind of message to get across. It seems like a much more put together site. Your company both Skout and Meetme.com could use a little improvement on a scale from 1 to 10 I would rate you as a 3. The only reason I stay on here is because of the people I have come to know but I have since hooked up with them on messenger for the most part so in a way we can live stream u to 8 people I believe at a time which is much better that two people and a bunch of perverts from the middle east. All in all I expect to be compensated for my loss cause I did not cash out I was at my house all day so i'm sure you can figure out from where and who cashed out my account unless they tracked me down within a mile radius of my home which is the next complaint I will be submitting.

Skout skout

Every few days skout blocks my boyfriend and I from each other. We don't block each other, but we disappear from the other's page entirely. our chats disappear, our comments disappear, out likes disappear, our views disappear, in short there is no way to contact them or find their page other than to wait it out which takes anywhere from a few hours to two weeks. this is annoying and we even broke up over it when it was two weeks because we both thought the other one had dumped us. Help me PLEASE!

Skout phone number verification via textnow

My account cannot be verified via textnow which is the only number I have so I need my number manually added to my account please.
Basically I went to sign up and it had me enter my phone number to verify. I proceeded to type in my textnow number but it said it wasn't valid.
I looked up troubleshooting for textnow verification issues and it says to have it manually added to my account. I don't know exactly how this works. If possible is there another way to get my account running?
