Olivia: [1:00:35 PM] Welcome to our realtime support chat. How can I help you today? Captain Walker: [1:00:35 PM] Please check my account. I cannot create masked cards.. because Im being told that my account address is incorrect.. but I cannot find anything in my account to modify my address. Olivia: [1:00:41 PM] Hi Captain [1:00:47 PM] One moment please [1:01:50 PM] Unfortunately, at this time, UK and Canada users are unable to upgrade to premium due to different AVS fraud checks between countries. We are looking to get this resolved asap. I do apologize for the inconvenience Captain Walker: [1:02:10 PM] I was not told that on sign up. [1:03:14 PM] My account says Premium.. so I would expect all that premium offers for my £27 [1:03:38 PM] Seems unfair to take my money and not provide full benefits of Premium membership. [1:03:51 PM] Yes and I fully understand the reason you provide now. Olivia: [1:03:57 PM] It doesn't look like you were ever able to upgrade to premium Captain Walker: [1:04:08 PM] Oh really.. Olivia: [1:04:11 PM] Did you try under a different email address, different from : hoo.com Captain Walker: [1:04:19 PM] huh Olivia: [1:04:38 PM] Were you logged into that account when you went to upgrade to premium? Captain Walker: [1:05:03 PM] does premium come with a masked phone number. Olivia: [1:05:16 PM] it does, yes Captain Walker: [1:05:24 PM] And I've got one!! Olivia: [1:06:31 PM] You're right! I can see that you have a masked phone number, but it looks like all of your upgrade attempts failed [1:06:40 PM] Did you upgrade on your smartphone or tablet through the app? Captain Walker: [1:06:43 PM] Wot! [1:07:00 PM] Smartphone. Olivia: [1:07:07 PM] Through DNTMe mobile? Captain Walker: [1:07:16 PM] yep [1:07:21 PM] and paid £27 Olivia: [1:07:46 PM] Okay, that's why. I do apologize for the confusion. In any case, masked cards are for US users only, which is why you are unable to create a masked card Captain Walker: [1:08:23 PM] Does you site (at this time) advertise that masked cards are for US users only? That'll be a yes or a no.

Olivia: [1:00:35 PM] Welcome to our real‐time support chat. How can I help you today? 

Captain Walker: [1:00:35 PM] Please check my account. I cannot create masked cards.. because Im 

being told that my account address is incorrect.. but I cannot find anything in my account to modify 

my address.  

Olivia: [1:00:41 PM] Hi Captain 

[1:00:47 PM] One moment please 

[1:01:50 PM] Unfortunately, at this time, UK and Canada users are unable to upgrade to premium 

due to different AVS fraud checks between countries. We are looking to get this resolved asap. I do 

apologize for the inconvenience 

Captain Walker: [1:02:10 PM] I was not told that on sign up. 

[1:03:14 PM] My account says Premium.. so I would expect all that premium offers for my £27 

[1:03:38 PM] Seems unfair to take my money and not provide full benefits of Premium membership. 

[1:03:51 PM] Yes ‐ and I fully understand the reason you provide now. 

Olivia: [1:03:57 PM] It doesn't look like you were ever able to upgrade to premium 

Captain Walker: [1:04:08 PM] Oh really.. 

Olivia: [1:04:11 PM] Did you try under a different email address, different from : 

hoo.com 

Captain Walker: [1:04:19 PM] huh 

Olivia: [1:04:38 PM] Were you logged into that account when you went to upgrade to premium? 

Captain Walker: [1:05:03 PM] does premium come with a masked phone number. 

Olivia: [1:05:16 PM] it does, yes 

Captain Walker: [1:05:24 PM] And I've got one!! 

Olivia: [1:06:31 PM] You're right! I can see that you have a masked phone number, but it looks like 

all of your upgrade attempts failed 

[1:06:40 PM] Did you upgrade on your smartphone or tablet through the app? 

Captain Walker: [1:06:43 PM] Wot! 

[1:07:00 PM] Smartphone. 

Olivia: [1:07:07 PM] Through DNTMe mobile? 

Captain Walker: [1:07:16 PM] yep 

[1:07:21 PM] and paid £27 

Olivia: [1:07:46 PM] Okay, that's why. I do apologize for the confusion. In any case, masked cards are 

for US users only, which is why you are unable to create a masked card 

Captain Walker: [1:08:23 PM] Does you site (at this time) advertise that masked cards are for US 

users only? That'll be a yes or a no.

Captain Walker: [1:10:41 PM] That's a help file! You expect people sigining up to read helpfiles as 

part of a contractual agreement? that's crazy 

[1:10:47 PM] I'm not having it. 

[1:11:09 PM] A condition of sale or service must list all conditions. 

Olivia: [1:11:33 PM] Okay, well I'll happily pass your feedback along to our product team. I agree it 

should be more transparent 

Captain Walker: [1:11:48 PM] Not feedback.. I need a full refund now! 

Olivia: [1:12:10 PM] You purchased through iTunes, correct? 

Captain Walker: [1:12:11 PM] Your terms and conditions at point of sale was lacking on the detail 

you provide now. 

Olivia: [1:12:21 PM] I'd call that feedback 

Captain Walker: [1:12:28 PM] I call that cheating. 

Olivia: [1:12:30 PM] And I'll be sure that is passed along 

Captain Walker: [1:12:43 PM] you can pass it along.. because you're not in charge.. 

Olivia: [1:12:53 PM] of course i'm not in charge 

Captain Walker: [1:12:59 PM] get this.. refund ASAP ‐ full refund of £27 

Olivia: [1:13:08 PM] you're extremely rude and i'm trying to help you. one moment please 

Captain Walker: [1:13:24 PM] I've said nothing rude to you. 

[1:13:44 PM] I'm telling you that your business has cheated. 

[1:14:08 PM] You are disrespectful.. and provoking a fight to get out of this conversation quickly. 

[1:14:18 PM] I'm asserting my statutory rights. 

[1:14:23 PM] nothing rude in that. 

[1:14:37 PM] You are factually not in charge. 

[1:14:50 PM] so you have to pass it on because you factually have no choice. 

[1:15:09 PM] The fact is that I demand a refund for breach of contract at point of sale. 

Olivia: [1:15:19 PM] I understand 

Captain Walker: [1:15:29 PM] Refund expected in full within 48 hours else I report this to my credit

As I've said umpteen times before, once you assert yourself you are accused of being rude. But on this occasion I'm not just 'rude'; I'm 'extremely rude'!! God says!

I've said nothing abusive to the person. All that I've said is fair comment, based on facts and evidence.

Callout
They do this when to try and provoke abuse, which then justifies their assertion and then they close down the conversation - it's a familiar trick.

Olivia: [1:15:38 PM] Because you purchased through iTunes, the refund has to go through iTunes 

which is in their terms of service 

Captain Walker: [1:15:54 PM] I purchased nothing through Itunes. 

Olivia: [1:16:10 PM] Didn't you say you purchased on your mobile device? 

Captain Walker: [1:16:18 PM] Yes. 

Olivia: [1:16:21 PM] Was it an apple product or Android? 

Captain Walker: [1:16:32 PM] I'm sure mobile device does not mean Apple. 

[1:16:35 PM] now you ask.. 

Olivia: [1:16:50 PM] Yes, and which did you purchase through? 

Captain Walker: [1:16:51 PM] you must learn to establish facts before hatching them. 

[1:16:57 PM] My phone is Android.. 

[1:17:09 PM] Purchased through Google play 

[1:17:13 PM] £27 

Olivia: [1:17:31 PM] Okay, great. 

Captain Walker: [1:18:00 PM] Screenshots taken of your whole site. 

[1:18:18 PM] Let your bosses know that I am legally qualified. 

[1:18:29 PM] In case they think I'm the average pushover. 

Olivia: [1:18:33 PM] Will do 

[1:18:41 PM] Talking with our mobile team to get your refund out 

Captain Walker: [1:18:51 PM] good 

[1:18:53 PM] Bye

The usual, after abusing the customer, telling them lies, cheating and bullying them to accept garbage, and making false and empty allegations of rudeness.
