Skout a user

Hello I am complaining about a guy who's name is "AJ" from billingham. He's been harassing me 24/7 he keeps sending me inappropriate pictures and I keep blocking him, but he keeps on making fake accounts just to bother me. I do apologize if I don't have any proof I forgot to take a screenshot, but he sometimes did delete the chat, so all the history was lost. "AJ" did also threatened me to kill me if I didn't show him any inappropriate pictures of myself and he also told everyone on this site of yours that he was going to post a picture of me naked ( even though I never sent him anything) So please Skout if you care and will do something about this terrible situation that I'm currently going through, I will be so so happy and I will be so glad if you guys deactivate this persons forever. Thank you and have nice day!

Skout identity theft

Four days ago I got messages from men I've never talked to heard of or seen before on snapchat. I am sixteen years old and have 28 year old men snapchatting me. I talked to one of them asking how he got my contact. He said he came from an app called skout claiming we were just chatting on it. I said I'd never heard of it before he informed me that's where he got my Snapchat from. He explained that someone had a profile with the name Claire(my first name) and was texting sexual messages back and forth before she sent him my Snapchat which contains my full name. I asked what the girl looked like and he said she had blonde hair (which I do) so I sent him a picture of my face asking if this is what the girl looked like. He said yes whoever this person is, they're using your name and pictures. He said there's about five of them all of me, and she was sending inappropriate messages portraying herself as me. This is completely unacceptable and a violation of my rights and privacy not to mention the social damage of someone acting like me in an inappropriate manner. This profile needs to be taken down.

Skout points and diamond exchange for points.

I bought points twice with my card. Yet I only got credit for one but you took the money out for both. I also would like to exchange my points for diamonds but you even though I have 500 at the time all the exchange offers are grayed out. I spent money and I deserve retribution on my account. If you can not do so stop offering the option or I will call my lawyer, thank you.

I bought points twice for this app, and you charged my card twice. Yet I only got one of the in app purchase credits. I also can't exchange the one time of points you gave me for diamonds. All of the offers are grayed out. I thought it was a bug until you gave me the 500 points for my second purchase. Please give me what I bought or stop offering it as a payment option to boost your profile. Thank you.

Skout vip services: request for a badge

Since I started using Skout, I have been constantly giving gifts to my fellow skout users. I've spent over 4, 000+USD. Then after some time, I received a message from Skout Management Talent that I'm a VIP Gifter.

Recently the app has updated and added a feature of giving a GREEN BADGE or VIP TOP GIFTER Badge, however, I'm wondering why I don't have the badge when I'm a VIP. I kept sending them emails to follow up on this issue but nobody is responding and I tried international calling but there's no option to speak with a customer service representative.

Due to this incident, I do not want to give anymore gifts unless they give me the requested VIP Gifter badge. It's just so disappointing.

I totally agree with you. They never reply to emails. Total bs customer service, they say they wont to create this great site for people to create a media presence but that will not happen while you treat genuine gifters/backers like crap...all that happens on this site is that those that go live regift diamonds to friends and it goes around in a circle...I
