Yah, it does not work... When you click on that link, which I've done many times, it does nothing but flashes really fast and then you're at the same page. So, please, I cannot and have not used those credits, please refund my money or give me a telephone number so I can contact someone with authority. This is not right. You took 30 dollars that I entrusted I would be able to use and cannot use the credits, due to no fault of my own... It would not make or break your company to refund me, it's 30 dollars that I am not able to use for a service you provided. I don't even want to play this game anymore after all the crazy stuff I've been through and I have a HUGE resentment that you are keeping my money against my will. If I USED the credits or could use the credits, I'd say ok, fair is fair, but I CANNOT use the credits! And I really dislike your company and refuse to play anymore Zynga games based on this horrible experience I've had with a company that keeps money when the person who chose to spend their money on a game cannot USE what they purchased. That's so wrong.

It doesn't state that in the terms and conditions... It says no refunds except out Zynga's discretion... No where does it read absolutely NO REFUNDS for anything except when WE make a mistake... It says, no refunds unless we choose to give it back. Is there a phone number that I may call to speak to someone? I'd like to speak to a supervisor.

anyway, so this stupid Yahoo client won't let me save the screenshot by copy/paste. I cannot see where to change this stupid stuff to html:) so I am sending the attachment... It's in.png form. But there's nothing you can do. I actually got a reply from facebook... There answer was so sorry you cannot log into your acct... And that was the extent of it. I would think you'd have good business practices and refund something I cannot use: (. It seems like the right thing to do. From: Zynga Customer Support

How silly are you people really? You work in the billing dept for a company that has a game on Facebook. How are you going to fix a problem with Facebook? YOU are not a tech support person for facebook and you cannot fix a situation where Facebook is asking me for a mobile phone number for identification purposes to use their website. HOW in god's name would you fix that? Look, I haven't used those credits, no where does it state in your terms and conditions that you would not refund if there was a situation that ever arose with facebook requesting a mobile phone number that you would deny a refund to a person who just created an account and could not use the credits they just purchased! This is all code we're talking about for a program! It isn't even like I put the dress on for a night and went out on the town and destroyed the thing, then tried to return it! And clearly, perhaps you should just be honest and up front with people when they decide to click that button to give you money for credits that says NEVER ASK FOR A REFUND, YOU WON'T GET IT! Just give me my money back! You know what? I'll just dispute this through my bank. Don't bother replying to this. Anyway, here's your lousy screenshot. You can't fix this problem and I'd never be able to use your credits... So thanks for stealing my money with your terms and conditions that do not even fall into my situation!

Zynga doesn't troubleshoot Facebook issues and if the tech has never even heard of the problem, HOW CAN HE FIX IT?! They're asking for a mobile phone number! Is he going to send me a fake mobile phone number to fix it??? Geesh! Let's get real with that one. I haven't even used those credits. You can check and you can also see I logged in and didn't even have time to do much... Nor have I logged in since the character was created because I cannot access the facebook account. The only thing I see is this in the terms and conditions: 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." Meaning you can give refunds back... And you should. I am not asking for a refund on something I used and then decided I didn't want. I am asking for a refund on something I have NOT and CANNOT use at no fault of my own, in which I honestly believed I'd be able to use. Why would I just hand over $30.00 dollars to a company for something I didn't want? If I could have used them I would not be asking for a refund. Seems like the right thing to do, since I have not used and cannot use those credits is refund MY money back to me.

What do you need a screenshot for if you are denying me and what terms and conditions are you referring to? Let me see in your terms and conditions where you would refuse a chargeback for a service a client cannot USE due to FACEBOOK requesting a mobile phone number. I cannot USE a SERVICE I paid for in regards to NO FAULT OF MY OWN! Why in Gods name would I just GIVE you or hand over 4 hours of work in order to make the $30 for something that I cannot use! Good lord, where is your decency! If I just
Requested a refund and COULD use it, I could see refusing the refund, but I cannot USE IT. And obviously I paid for it with the desire to use credits I just bought thinking I'd be able to USE SOMETHING I PURCHASED. How can you deny this when I cannot use the credits!

I spoke to a supervisor last friday in regards to a refund I requested. She politely informed me she'd send an email to billing and I HAVE NOT received any such email.
I created an account for facebook to play vampire wars. I made my character and spent 30 dollars for points to use, however I cannot play Vampire wars because Facebook is requesting a mobile phone number and I do not own a mobile phone. I contacted facebook and no response.
The supervisor told me I would not get a refund and I needed to contact Facebook because it's not Zynga's problem I cannot use my credits. However, I DID NOT pay Facebook 30 dollars for a service I cannot use. I paid ZYNGA the $30 dollars for a service I cannot use at NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I should not be out $30 dollars because the company I spent my hard earned money at will not refund me.
This is not Facebook's responsibility, it's Zynga's since I paid YOU the money. Please refund my acct.
