I have still received no reply about my ban and emails on the subject, does Zynga actually have any customer service? I play other Zynga apps and have no intention of purchasing points or doing offers until my VW account is reinstated.

Can you please answer some very simple questions?
#1. Are you still investigating my ban?

#2. Can I have an email address or telephone number of someone I can speak to personally that can help me?

#3. Am I going to be banned permanently?

Please answer these questions for me. I don't feel that your previous correspondance addressed any of my issues.

Customer would like to know if her ban is still being investigated. Customer says she was banned for harassment is what we told her.Customer would like her account reinstated because she feels she did nothing wrong.

customer wants to know why she was banned and what was done wrong. says she knows that banned accounts can be reactivated because she knows other people who have been banned whose accounts have been reinstated. she says that she refuses to take no for an answer because she has never violated the TOS and wants to know what our reasons are for banning her. she has been trying to get an answer since may.

You still aren't answering my question! Exactly what did I do that deserved a permanent ban? I would also like to know please why I was left hanging for so long without an answer to my quey?I know many players who received "permanent" bans that were reinstated. Why am am I being treated so badly by your customer service?I will be adding my voice to the already long list of complainants with the SF BBB. I still require an answer as to my "offense".

Your continued refusal to answer my most basic question is frustrating. I am simply asking you to tell me what I did, exactly, that deserved a permanent ban. This generic BS does not answer that question in any way. I will continue to call and email until I get the information I have a right to.

Still waiting....
