not so long ago, i was here, complaining about zynga's misconduct over fake chips and failure to do anything to keep people's account being safe. i play on their site alot and til i reach 1 billion of fake chips, however, it got reset to 1 million for no reason, they cannot verify the loss of it and therefore cannot restore the chips that was taken away. so i bought again some to start me off, within 3 weeks, i managed to reached 1 billion again, playing overnight and just for it to be taken away again...not even a month had pass by and they have managed to get back what i paid real money over fake chips. they fail to tell me again what happened. they replied me with the same email that they sent me 3 weeks ago. they cannot restore it back. so many people are getting ripped off by zynga and i really want someone to do something about it. for it to happen to twice in not even a month, its just unbearable...some of my friend's chips are also being taken away, same day as me 3 weeks ago, 2 buds got reset from 1billion to 1m...yesterday when they've taken my chips again, left me with 100k only...and a friend was playing on table...her 900 million chips disappeared before she could blink. and same as what they told me...they cannot verify the loss and therefore cannot be restored. it is really sad. please help somebody

I have been ripped off so many times in the last year after spending quite a large amount. I have been playing for many years all their games but problems are getting more frequent and their expedited support is a joke, taking over 6 weeks to address and dozens of email only to get a form email that "after a thorough investigation no abnormalities were found with account" or "do to the activity on your account we found no" and here is a response given about a recent purchase where I did not get 23 skill points with my purchase. Please notate that at the time of purchase by buying their currency they had a virtual card you received punches and the larger the purchase the greater the award. for 2 weeks now I have been complaining about my purchase done on 10/30/2012 that no skill points were credited to my account and the following day I made another Purchase Trying to get my skill points and did receive the 15 skill points.

Dear Tommy,

Thanks for getting back to us!

I'm able to verify that you purchased 440 RP on October 30th, and 215 RP on October 31th. Those RP were properly added to your account on 2012-10-31 at 02:40:58 PST and 2012-11-01 at 06:42:38 PST respectively. Also, I'm able to verify that you had 7 Card Punches before your those RP purchases. You receive +2 from your 440 RP purchase and +1 from your 215 RP purchase. After purchasing your 215 RP and receiving your +1 Card Punch, I'm able to confirm that the 15 free Skill Points bonus were added to your account.

And in this response is proof I never received my skill points, the 2nd response they actually did answer and after i sent the previous one telling them this is proof of my claim. The only difference between both emails was the previous one did not have the time for each purchase. And if your going to give all this detail but never do the address me 23 skill points that I claim I did not get and if I had then it would include that 1 punch 8 skill points and the 2nd 15 skill points and then go on about the 10/31/2012 purchase getting 1 punch and 15 skill points. the whole basis of the claim is the missing item on 10/30/2012 and dozens of email and now they offering 1/4 of that because I am a valuable player and not because I did not receive. So I reject the offer and quit all their games stopped payment on credit cards and walk away because if your going to be this dishonest and every claim is rejected usually 6 weeks later then I would rather increase my spending on you competitor. Also this was not the 1st time I have several were they reject a claim while the information they are giving proves the loss was valid they are idiots

Zynga robbed of cityville cash by zynga

I purchased $50.00 of Facebook credit for Cityville cash by zynga. The game began malfunctioning and zynga restored the CV cash. It happened again by being charged for the +60 energy they gave to me as part of zynga calling themselves making things right. This +60 energy was placed in my inventory in Cityville. I have emails from them and myself along with screen shots to prove ALL of what I tell you here. Well, they CHARGED me for the +60 energy THEY placed in my inventory which is what they GAVE me to pay me back, which really was unacceptable to me but I went ahead along with it trying not to make a fuss. But zynga, as greedy and sneaky as they are made it so they wouldn't lose a penny by charging me what they gave me as my restoration. Also, then added and continues to add this +60 energy in my inventory and I used it thinking they're giving it to me. Keep in my NOTHING in your inventory is bought by clicking on anything in there. But not so because this is how they did me for this +60 energy they gave me. Well I had a total of about 504 cityville cash. They took me down to a negative 29 (-29 cash) then up to positive 11. I now get NO responses from them via my email. Facebook, the cowards that they are are equally as sneaky, greedy and evidently condone this type of "any kind of a way to grab dollars" scam. I have now disputed the $50 on my debit card.

I SAY TO ALL WITH NO HESITATION, BEWARE OF ZYNGA. ZYNGA EMPLOYS THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR ON THEIR POKER APPS ALSO. ZYNGA. NEVER, EVER "GIVE" THEM YOUR MONEY. I have sooo many screen shots and emails. The screen shot here I had to re-size and it is sort of difficult to really read but not impossible, this is why I did not upload more but I will if you can provide a large file size. Thank You for being here. Thank you that I can voice my complaint and maybe get my money back but most importantly, STOP zynga from their clever thieving practices. No one has yet and they appear to me as though they are untouchable and thus making it acceptable for them to rob and destroy people financially.

Zynga game card fraud

Hello,

I want to let you guys know about a serious issue pertaining to zynga game cards. I had recently purchased a game card from wal-mart in the hopes of taking part in the excellent chip sale that was going on yesterday. Upon redeeming the card, I was shocked to see that I could only purchase a 1/3 of what was offered at the same price I paid for my game card. I emailed support and here's the ongoing thread in its entirety, although in the the act of copying and pasting, the first contact is on the bottom. I will be posting updates to the matter as it progresses:

Hello fatima,

Thank you for providing a link. However, it doesn't contain any clear information relating to this issue directly. The link does not contain anything about purchases with game cards being specially regulated, it basically states that you, zynga, like all stores, set the terms for purchase of virtual items. However, unlike most stores, your not living up to the standard. It's almost laughable really. To walk into a store, in my case walmart, and to purchase a $25 dollar game card for $25 with your company name all over it, bring said card to your site for redemption and not get the same value that other customers just because they gave you their credit card is ridiculous! As I asked earlier, money is money, right? In case you haven't read what the link in question contains, here it is:

Purchases of virtual currency or virtual items sold on our site are subject to the zynga terms of service.

Some terms that are particularly relevant to your purchase include:

1. Purchases of virtual currency or virtual items sold on our site are purchases of a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license.
This is saying that you cannot use licensed items or virtual monies in other games outside of zynga and or the game you have earned them in.
2. You have no right or title in or to any such virtual goods or virtual currency appearing or originating in the service, or any other attributes associated with use of the service or stored within the service
I cannot claim to own the monkey king item nor am I able to lay licensed claim to virtual currency and expect to get paid real monies
3. Zynga has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate such virtual currency and/or virtual goods as it sees fit in its sole discretion, and zynga shall have no liability to you or anyone for the exercise of such rights.
If zynga doesn't like something that you have or are intending to purchase, they can take it away without cause
4. All purchases of virtual currency or virtual items sold on our site are final. All virtual currency and virtual items are sold as-is with no warranties of any kind. No refunds will be given, except in our sole and absolute discretion.
All sales are final. What you see, is what you get and if you lose it, zynga will not replace it.
5. Virtual currency or other virtual items will be forfeited if your account is terminated for any reason, in zynga's sole and absolute discretion, or if zynga discontinues providing the services on the site.
You make zynga angry, zynga takes all of your virtual stuff and tells you to go home.
6. Transfers of virtual currencies and virtual goods are strictly prohibited except where explicitly authorized within the service. Outside of the game, you may not buy or sell any virtual currency or virtual goods for "real world" money or otherwise exchange items for value. Any attempt to do so is in violation of these terms and may result in a lifetime ban from zynga service and possible legal action
You cannot sell virtual goods for tangible cash. If caught, see rule #5 and possibly get a visit from legal.

Here's what I read on your redemption site to lead me purchase with a game card:

Notes about prepaid game cards
Cards must be activated at the register when sold.
Upon submitting the game card pin # or redemption code, cards are automatically redeemed for the balance in full.
And here are the only two areas in the terms of service agreement where game cards are mentioned:

1.4. Grant of a limited license to use the service

Subject to your agreement and continuing compliance with these terms of service and any other relevant zynga policies, such as the forum rules or loyalty program terms, zynga grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable limited license subject to the limitations in sections 1.5-1.9 to access and use the service using a zynga supported web browser (Such as mozilla firefox or microsoft internet explorer) or mobile device solely for your own non-commercial entertainment purposes. You agree not to use the service for any other purpose.

You understand that while at times you may “earn” "buy" or "purchase" (A) virtual currency, including but not limited to virtual coins, cash, tokens, or points, all for use in the service; or (B) virtual in-game items (Together with virtual currency, "virtual items"); these real world terms are only being used as shorthand. You do not in fact "own" the virtual items and the amounts of any virtual item do not refer to any credit balance of real currency or its equivalent. Rather, you may purchase a limited license to use the service, including software programs that occasionally manifest themselves as these items. The purchase and sale of the limited license referred to in these terms of service is a completed transaction upon receipt of your direct payment or redemption of a zynga game card or a third party virtual currency like facebook credits. Any "virtual currency" balance shown in your account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license.

3.1. Purchases

In the service you may purchase, with "real world" money, a license to use virtual items and or other goods or services. You may also obtain a license to use virtual items by redeeming zynga game cards or third party virtual currency, such as facebook credits.

Purchases or redemptions of third party virtual currency to acquire a license to use virtual items are non-refundable.

You can license virtual items by visiting the purchase page in one of our games, providing your billing information, confirming the particulars of your purchase and re-affirming your agreement to these terms. When you purchase a license to virtual items from our service, we may send you a confirmatory e-mail that will contain details of the items you have ordered. Please check that the details in the confirmatory e-mail are correct as soon as possible and maintain a copy of it for your records. Zynga keeps records of transactions in order to deal with any subsequent queries. If you purchase facebook credits from facebook, you are agreeing to facebook’s payment terms and zynga is not a party to the transaction.

For virtual items, your order will represent an offer to us to purchase a license for the relevant service (S) which will be accepted by us when we make the virtual items available in your account for you to use in our games or debit your credit card, whichever comes first.

Your license to virtual items for use in zynga games is a service provided by zynga that commences upon acceptance by zynga of your purchase or redemption of third party virtual currency. By ordering a license to use virtual items you agree and accept that zynga will provide it to you promptly following completion of your purchase. If you reside in the european union and you purchase a product or service from zynga, you may have the right to withdraw from a purchase within seven calendar days, commencing on the day after the date of purchase (The "cooling off period"). However, you lose your right of withdrawal if the performance of the services begins before the end of the cooling off period. Accordingly, please note that if you purchase a license to use virtual items from us, your right of withdrawal is lost as the performance of our services begins promptly once your purchase is completed.

Am I missing something here? I saw the sale price and wanted it. I purchase $25 in zynga cash, went to your card redemption site and got jacked on the price with no explanation other then the vague terms listed in rule #4 which is the same rule used by damn near all companies. What I saw is what I wanted. I didn't reset my computer and lose it. I was cheated out of 22 million in chips! No where on the card redemption site or in your terms of service does it state that you cannot receive the sale price, anywhere! Please reimburse me the missing 22 million in chips that I purchased from you.

Hello wes,

This is fatima. I understand you didn't receive a discount after redeeming a game card.

Wes, according to what my previous co worker explained to you, let me tell you that the promotions are not the same when you purchase directly on the game, to use game cards, the reason is that the promotions are different and the benefits are also different.

If you want to read more about that, you can use the following link: http://support.zynga.com/CP_ArticleView_WebFull?custlayoutid=1&gameId=0&Id=kA160000000GnwACAS&lang=en_US&layout=WebFull&layouttmpl=Tmpl_WebFull_1&loc=en_US (Here you will find more information about our terms of purchase).

I hope this information can be useful for you and thanks for your understanding.

Re: reply from zynga customer support[ ref:00d6j52i.5006gzr2b:ref ]
Hello zachary,
Thank you for your prompt reply. So, the $25 real dollars I spent on a game card would have been better spent on buying the chips directly? How does that make any sense when I purchased an actual, issued by zynga, game card? Money is money right? I didn't want to use my debit card for this transaction hence the reason I bought the card. It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I don't trust the internets privacy levels.in fact, according to the purchase screen, the charge, had I used my debit or credit card, would have been $0.51 cheaper. Therefore, you guys made more money from me and gave me less chips in return. This is not acceptable as fair trade. Also, no where does it state on the site that I cannot receive the sale price or that I am prohibited from getting any deals by using the game cards. Please email me the link on where to find this information, then post it to the game card redemption page for others like myself to view. I thought I was using a more secure means of payment by using a prepaid card for this transaction. Instead, I am left feeling like I got ripped off. I feel like I am still owed over 22 million in cips. For example, if I were to receive a pre-loaded card to verizon or wal-mart, I would not be denied sale price on any item unless otherwise specified. Due to this lack in informing the customer (Me) I believe in the aspect of fairness that, i, the customer should be made to feel whole. Please reimburse me the amount owed, or provide actual, sourced documentation why I cannot have this reasonable request granted.

Reply from zynga customer support
Hello wes,
Thank you for contacting zynga billing support.
My name is zachary and i'll be assisting you today!
I'm sorry for the confusion that you experienced. The sale that you saw applied only to cash purchases. Game cards are pre-bought and have a predetermined worth of currency within the game. They are not like gift cards that have a monetary value.
Again, I apologize for the confusion that you have experienced
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Zachary

Incident entry by zynga customer p wed jan 18 21:36:50 gmt 2012

I purchased a physical zynga game card valued at $25 today because I saw a sale going on that was giving 50% more chips, and for the next 24hrs only, an extra 20% more chips added on for a total of just over 33 million in chips. I planned on purchasing this deal with said game card. Upon purchase, I noticed the amount as the normal 11 million and thought this to be a glitch and that the game card site hadn't been updated and purchased anyway on the good faith that this oversight of 22 million in chips would be corrected on checkout. It wasn't. Why wasn't I able to receive the sale price through using a game card? This is unfair. I wish to be reimbursed for the remainder of the sale price chips total that I had intended to buy in the first place. Thank you in advance for your swift response. - wes barthe

THIS IS HILARIOUS IF YOU PAY CASH TO GET THE CARD YOU DON'T GET THE FULL CREDIT OF THE MONEY YOU PAID ON THE OTHER HAND WHEN YOU USE YOUR CREDIT/DEBIT THE COMPANY GETS CHARGED FOR YOU USING YOUR CARD... IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR AND THIS WILL BE MY LAST TIME SPENDING ANY OF MY MONEY ON SUCH A RIP OFF COMPANY THAT ONLY SCAMS ITS CUSTOMERS .. AND I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND LETTING EVERY SINGLE PERSON U KNOW ABOUT SUCH SCAM SO THAT THEY WONT FALL FOR IT TOO.

I understand completely and feel the same way! I was first missing 3 million chips that mysteiously disappeared out of my account, contacted Zynga to only receive some weird emails from Pokeman, Salvador, etc? stating they investigated and couldnt prove that I lost them? 2nd I purchase an official Zynga Card $25 for security reasons after finding out Zynga has "no" customer support for any problems you may encounter. I find out after redeeming, I was ripped off millions again just because I used a "Zynga" (not another party, but Zynga themselves game card rather than paying with a debit card! This is sooo ridiculous and another huge rip off by Zynga! Keep your money folks!

Zynga also scam me as I pay 125USD for 324M of Zynga Poker Chip but what I got is only 900K, that a funny thing, I try to contact them but no worth.

They just said 324M was credited to my account but i did not see that. What should I do so? Today I open facebook dispute but I don't know whether it help or not.

Anybody let me know what I should do after that if I can't claim via Facebook dispute?

Unbelievable that Zynga Poker can scam people this way! Seriously? I wish I had seen this thread before my son bought a $25.00 gift card with his hard earned money. He is special needs, and once he turned 18, I said he could join/play Zynga Poker. He has no debit/credit cards. He saved up $25.00 in order to take advantage of the 33 million dollars worth of chips he could buy for THAT amount of money. Zynga, it is YOUR responsibility to put up in BIG BOLD LETTERS on your Poker Site that ZYNGA Game Cards that are purchased for CASH, are only worth 1/3 of their value! This is not only despicable behavior, it is STEALING. I wish you could explain your method of doing business to my autistic kid. I know I can't.

I was playing Zynga poker and suddenly my laptop shut down and when I restarted it, I wasn't able to connect to Internet.
I used another laptop and I entered again and all my chips had been stolen. But the worst problem is that I haven't been able to connect to Internet after that problem.
Now I cannot connect and I use my laptop to work and study. All the problem was due to zynga security issues and they just say that they are
"unable to verify that the reported loss was the result of a compromise or hack on your account. As a result, I cannot credit any lost chips back to your account."
Right now, I don't care about my chips. I care about my laptop that hasn't been able to connect to Internet again after I was hacked.
And all the problem has been due to Zynga's security issues. If they are not able to control hackers, they shoudn't keep their site open.

Zynga internal corruption at zynga

Jeff Michalski have done none of these. I wouldn't know a hack cheat or bot if I saw one. I have not been approached or allied with anyone to do so. Nothing that you describe has been done by me or on my behalf. And now you have even removed the possibility of rejoining the game with your draconian offer of lowering my winnings by 14 million. This seems like revenge for me fighting against this injustice. The shame is on you. My earnings on Zynga have been my own. This is just wrong.

Zynga poker is corrupt. I've reviewed other off site complaints and it tends to follow that the Zynga staff will punish you by making false accusations if you are successful on their site but don't buy chips. I quit all the Zynga games. Citiville farmville etc.

Zynga failure to resolve issues

I've been trying to get zynga to fix frontierville for four months. I haven't been able to open my game, let alone play it. I was exchanging emails with zynga for the first two months, but they've stopped responding and I can't get anyone to talk to me. Is my game unplayable now? Did I spend money on those stupid horseshoes for nothing? I don't know, because they won't tell me.in the beginning, they kept giving me freebies to make up for the inconvenience, but then they would ask me to log in to my game to verify the stuff was showing up in my inventory... But I can't get into my game. I have no idea what my game even looks like now. I certainly have no access to pioneer trail, either. After getting no response for two months, I tried complaining to facebook, but getting assistance from them is even worse. They just direct you back to zynga.

I BOUGHT CHIPS FROM ZYNGA, 9 MIL FOR $20. IN 4 DAYS I HAD OVER 100 MIL. ON THE 5TH DAY I GOT SUSPENDED FOR NO REASON. I HAD BEEN SUSPENDED LESS THAN 2 WEEKS BEFORE. NO EXPLANATION FOR THE SUSPENSION. I MADE AN INCIDENT REPORT TO ZYNGA. I DID NOT TRANSFER OR SELL CHIPS. PLAYED SMART AND CAME UP FAST. THIS IS THE RESPONSE I GOT FOR THE INCIDENT:

Zynga doesn't work/no customer service

I should know better but I had try one more of their stupid games. And just like before, the big problems/bugs don't start popping up until you start reaching the higher levels. By then, you've invested hundreds of hours playing and don't want to quit without giving hem a chance to fix their bugs. I went 3 months this time waiting for Empires & Allies to get the bugs out...what a waste! Plain and simple: Unless you like to be frustrated, DO NOT PLAY GAMES MADE BY ZYNGA...they all have major bugs! Farmville, CafeWorld, Poker, Mafia Wars, Cityville, Empires & Allies...if Zynga is involved it won;t work and they won't care...especially if you wasted money to add points/etc. Complaints mean nothing to them so complaining is worthless. JUST QUIT PLAYING (and Facebook is getting just as bad!) I read that Zynga may do an IPO and go public...LOL, that would be awesome...just see them tank!

Zynga scam

Hi my name is joe character name "Italian Saint Jon" and can you please look at my trade record this guy named marcos scammed me for cupid wings and like 56k on yoville on facebook.The way he scammed me was he said he was gonna help me out by tradeing me all my coins and my black cupid wings for blue retros specks.So i put the cupid wings and about 56k and he put in the blue retros and he already had the trade accept he was waiting on me right before i pressed accept he cancel the trade bar, then he said out side of trade if i was quick enough to press accept i would get the retros.So he traded me again i hurryed and put 56k and black cupid wings i pressed accept i relized he but the wrong item which he gave me groovy blue headband i unclicked accept fast and then the trade closed and it said trade succesful so i beg and pled for him to give me back my stuff he was laughing at me and he left my apartment.It was someone name marcos and he delete me off his buddy list right away.All im really looking for is my black cupid wings i dont care about the coins as much cause honestly check the record you will see that obviously not a fair trade.

Zynga chips being taken from my account

I was hacked earlier today and loses 400 million of my chips. I was playing poker and it start to freeze up on me and caused me to lose chips. Later I saw an email that said it was sent from zynga to my FB email account so i open it. It states that i have been chose from zynga to claim 180 million due to random drawings. Well it say to enter my email address and email password which i did so to claim my winnings. Once i did that my chips start to disappear faster and my computer starts to freeze up.. I want to know is there a way that I able to claim my chips back from ZYNGA? Becasuthe email they sent me is believable due to facebook email. thank you for your time...

I had 158 million chips stolen from me and zynga says they cant verify that they were stolen, but reading all the comments from people having chips stolen i think zynga is doing it as customer support does not want to help their customers, i had chips stolen before and they could verify then why not now.zynga just wants their customers to buy more chips as if nothing happened.THEY ARE JUST ###ING EVERYONE SO THEY DONT HAVE TO HELP ANYONE!

Zynga texas hold-em poker

Poker bots

Zynga needs to do something about these bots, they are ruining the game for everyone. The game is suppose to be fun, but it's just frustrating now when you get bot after bot going all-in on every hand. I may have a good pair of cards but most of the time i'm not game to match on pre-flop of millions of dollars.

Come on zynga - find a way to eliminate these bots!

You make millions from people playing your games, the least you can do is make it fair. Why should I buy chips with my hard earned cash just to have some (Insert appropriate coarse language) idiot basically steal them because we can no longer get a decent hand because of these bots.

Make a rule - if all you do is go all-in all the time, you're suspended from poker... Isn't that simple? I know all-in is a part of the game, and I am not saying that you can't go all-in, but not every freaking hand, or just fold fold fold fold fold fold fold fold all-in fold fold fold fold fold fold all-in fold fold fold fold fold fold...

It's absolutely ridiculous and I am to the point of total annoyance. Today i've lost 10mil because of these bots because i've finally got a good pair of cards that I don't want to waste, so I match them... And of course my pair of q's loses to the bots paid of t's because a t comes up in the flop and no q. Hell, i've even lost with pocket a's and they've gone all-in on a & 2 and get a flush or something.

Who else is fed up with this crap? How do we get zynga to do something about it?

These are known to be bots. They are run through a created programme by the people who sell illegal chips. You can tell these days who is a bot in 3 ways or actually 4 ways. Heres how you can find out if they are a bot...

1. When you mouse over their picture you will see the information, how many chips they have, what network they are on. If the Network is blank they are 100% a bot.

2. These bots will always be a level 29 shark, the level is set by the programme they use, I have seen over 200 bots and they all have the same levels.

3. These bots will never have any buddies. If you check their profile you will see they will have 0 buddies added.

4. Bots are programmed to only keep hold of pairs or high cards, if they have these type of cards they will go All-In, they may lose sometimes mostly they will win. If they don't have pairs or high cards they will just simply continue to fold fold fold. Even if they can check they will still fold it.

5. Bots will never talk! you can try your upmost hardest to try and make them talk and you wont get a word out.

I hope this helps everyone. From now on you have these ways of finding if they are bots or not. Remmember if your playing with them and they call All-In's do it at your own risk, they can pretty much know whats going to come out and this is how they get their chips up so stupidly high. These illegal chip sellers can sell you 100 million chips for only $20 thats a great bargain for sure, but your just feeding these scammers by calling their ALL-In's.

Want to help crack down on this scandal? Help out by doing the following things below.

1. If you see a bot just leave and go to a table that doesn't have any on.

2. If you do stay don't call their All-In's your just feeding them for everyone $1 chips they make is 50 cents earned for them. May not seem alot but they have 1000, 's of accounts they do this on everyday so you do the Maths.

3. Let everyone know about these bots, and warn them not to play at the same table as they are and not to call their ALL-IN's if nobody played with them and nobody called them, they will simply just be drained of chips. Because all those folds they make and the auto blinds they pay will just constantly drain them.

Zynga can't really do anything about this problem unless they have a huge force of employees behind them to scour the rooms everyday and ban them personally. This will not happen, it's simply down to you guys to do the following ways of how i said. And this problem will be cracked.

Let's enjoy poker again how it should be and not feed these fat cats anymore. Post it on your walls and tell the world!

Zynga defective product

starting playing yahoo mafia wars and purchased reward points @$200 not realizing the game was not fully developed and was overloaded with bugs rendering it unplayable on many levels...asked for a refund or simply a credit to transfer to facebook mafia wars...was denied...said basically that they have no legal requirement to provide a working game and I was out of luck...it is now my life's mission to bad mouth this dishonest and immoral company as much as possible...thank goodness i have so much extra time to do it since i am no longer playing mafia wars

"I understand that your problem wasn't solved I totally understand your point, and personally I'm on your side. Nevertheless, as you might know, in our Terms of Service http://www.zynga.com/about/terms-of-service.php states that we aren't able to do any refund, on article 3.2 Payment of Fees. I truly apologize. Believe me that if it was up to me, I would've given this refund that you are calming since is not fair. In addition to this, we aren't able to transfer your currency to another social network or to another account since every game is linked to their UID and is impossible to duplicate this. I would really appreciate your understanding to our regulations and procedures. "

A company that isn't able to issue refunds...yeah right!

Ripoff artists!

Zynga suspension of account

My account was suspended 3 times in 10 days for (their claim) violating their terms and condition. The first time I did transfer chips to one of my friends but the other two times I just so happened to play with my friends at the same table with 7 other players and still was suspended and every time they took 25-35 million chips.So Now I can't even play with my friends, being that this is a social network, and I feel the real hacker is ZYNGA itself, stealing chips from people and thus forcing the sale issue.The true American way. So I eventually got tired of these games and told them to shove it up their ### and hope they choke doing it too. I will also deactivate my facebook account .
