    @USPSHelp lmk if you have any thoughts! Your FB Messenger chat service has been useless and I'm no longer in the USA and need y'all to actually forward my mail to the address I provided via online system. Been trying to get this resolved for the entirety of 2021 so far.

  • Karri_Kemyst 💜 Karri Salas💜 Wikipedia is NOT a valid source (@Karri_Kemyst) reported

    @MindCandy15 I have a couple of people that I use Facebook Messenger with but I don't actually post anything there. I'm hoping he gets taken down fast especially since this was posted to MsPackyetti and she has such a big following that it should be mass reported quickly.

  • mttshw Matt Shaw (@mttshw) reported

    @steve228uk Not sure if others have the issue but it already happens for me with people using FB messenger to organise quiz nights and things. Like you say though it was always going to happen.

    @Jeff32778488 I don't have messenger but I do have Facebook. When I fix the screen on my old phone I will use that for Facebook and fb messenger only. Lots of overseas friends on Facebook so that's why I I stay there. I wish someone would come up with something similar.

  • JaneStaiano Jane Staiano 💙 (@JaneStaiano) reported

    Hey @alexhern, you're often knowledgeable re. App privacy issues. What's your opinion on #WhatsApp? Is this paranoid hype, or should we stop using it after February (like alot of us don't use Facebook messenger - because of claims it not 100% private/encrypted)

  • vaughan_k Ken 🐨🐨🐨 (@vaughan_k) reported

    @ShopifySupport Ah I am not the owner as I clearly mentioned in #Facebook messenger. So editing the information well suddenly fix up the issue me being directed to the @Shopify login and not the store website?

  • Ruislip33 Johnny A (@Ruislip33) reported

    @curryspcworld does your customer service team actually have a way to contact them as the website is just information pages. My query is only 4 weeks old. My only luck so far is FB messenger..... not very professional.

  • BagpussWakey Jeff Bagnall (@BagpussWakey) reported

    @marksandspencer dreadful customer service today. Contacted you by tweet and Facebook messenger. On neither occasion have you had the courtesy even to reply.

  • BakerLCindy CindyCumber (@BakerLCindy) reported

    I just went through his FB messenger. Omg I'm so so sorry. He wouldn't let me touch his phone but never thought I really needed to. Any way. I'm trying to get him the help that he needs. I just wanted you to know that. Up until late October I had no clue at all.

  • Phatmarkie Phatmarkie (@Phatmarkie) reported

    @TalkTalk WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME ON ALL FRONTS? can you help please, currently no broadband connection and I cannot find anyway to contact your service centre... no chat from website or phone number to call, no reply on FB messenger
