This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I previously filed a complaint against Public.com.
Public.com responded numerous times with false and incorrect information, and provided no backup or proof of their claims. At issue was the spinoff of O shares to ONL shares for holders of record as of 11/2/2021. Public.com persistently claimed that the record date for receiving the shares and cash distribution was 11/15/2021, which was the date of the press release, NOT the record date. After providing proof of my ownership of O shares as of the record date, Public.com refused to acknowledge my claim was legitimate.

Today, Public.com has acknowledged via an email (attached) that the record date was NOT 11/15/2021, but rather 11/02/2021. This would entitle me to shares and cash dividends which Public.com has refused to pay. Perhaps a slip up on their part in admitting the truth, but the email from Public.com I received today is accurate with respect to the actual date - November 2, 2021.

Country of complaint: United States

Desired outcome: The cash value of the shares on the day they were awarded, plus the cash dividend for the partial shares owned, plus $5,000 in punitive damages for my loss of funds, filing inaccurate public records about me via the BBB website, etc.

They are dishonest, shady people. They basically kicked me off the platform and told me I had 6 days to remove my funds, and refused to follow the legal agreement governing the 0 stock split. They just kept my money. Good luck! They're jerks.
