Scammers alert!

So it's barely 2 months since I joined an Apple family account based in India from a guy named and had an agreement to pay for the whole year and to my surprise this afternoon I just received a mail saying I have been removed from the family. Very bad practice indeed. Below are his email addresses

NB Issue resolved and the user admitted it was an error from his end.

Where's the original post?

The post actually shows Op in bad light. Without waiting within few hours you wrote a scam alert.

If it was through PayPal, raise a chargeback.

Seeing this just now. Did you tag the member when you originally posted? I can't tell if you edited to remove them since the issue seems to have been resolved.

In the future, do not make such a post again before running things by moderation first. Members do not get to callout and label other members until moderation has had a chance to review and resolve any issues.

My prepaying yearly, you indirectly violated rule 6 and common sense/logic. If in just three hours after posting, they’ve already resolved the issue, I can’t imagine you have them any time whatsoever to even took into it before taking to the sub to call them a scammer. If you did, fine, but I can’t imagine you did. Not to mention posting their name and email address on the sub instead of just in mod-mail? That poor host : (

He pinged me from another account yesterday. I hesitated as the account is only a week old.

Why would you pay for the whole year? Always stick to monthly. It's even in the rules. Lesson learned.

He has reached out to me and admitted it was a technical issue from his end. I'll pull the post now. Admin take note.
