  Dear team,

  I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to provide you with an update regarding the recent customer complaint and subsequent account blockage that we have been addressing with the manufacturer.

  Initially, the manufacturer blocked the customer's account in response to ******************** claim of fraud and his initiation of a chargeback for his recent purchase of the Nexus4 XP: Drill. It's important to note that **************** requested a chargeback through his credit card provider rather than a refund. .

  After engaging in several discussions with the manufacturer, we are pleased to inform you that the manufacturer confirmed today that the customer's account has been re-enabled. Consequently, **************** should now have full access to all of his purchased products once again.

  In light of this positive development, we have reached out to **************** to communicate the reactivation of his account. I have attached a copy of the correspondence for your reference.

  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this situation may have caused.

  Our primary goal is to ensure a seamless and satisfactory experience for our customers.

  If there is anything else we can do to assist you or if you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in resolving this matter. We appreciate your support.

  Best regards,

  *********************

  Cleverbridge has somehow acquired my financial information and has been charging $99 to my debit cards and possibly even my credit cards (pending verification). I dont know who these people are and I dont know how they got my financial info. Im having to cancel all of my cards now because of these thieves.

  I am rejecting this response because: I did NOT subscribe to Avira!!! If I did I certainly would not have given you all of my financial information! You people charged two of my checking accounts, my deceased sons savings account, and my PayPal credit account. I filed fraud complaints in order to get my money back! This needs to be dealt with by cybercrime enforcement because you people are hackers and thieves!

   I hope you all have the day you deserve!

  More info

  I purchased a protection software called SurfShark, but upon trying it on my computer, I discovered it was not compatible with my system or devices. I immediately went to the information page to request a refund the very next day. I followed the instructions and submitted my refund request by email as instructed. I did not get any follow up or reply for weeks, so I attempted to contact *********, I did get on representative in a chat to tell me that he could not find any record of my account. He said that I must have deleted the account. I did not, I was waiting for the refund as the instructions stated, and understood it may take some time. I again tried to contact *********, but was unable to reach anyone for support. I continued to see the charge in my PayPal account, so I contacted PayPal for assistance. I also attempted to contact Cleverbridge, and at first did not get any response. Once PayPal contacted them, I began to get responses telling me that SurfShark would handle the issue directly, they assured me they would to "everything they could" to assist me. The latest email is telling me that I had passed the 30 day refund policy and there is nothing they can do because SurfShark claims I deleted the account. They seemed to proudly boast that they have the toughest refund policy law in the country. What does that have to do with this situation, other that sounding like they are bragging about thinking they get away with keeping $99.99 while I have no SurfShark account. That was supposed to be for a whole year of protection which I cannot use. I clearly have a charge on my PayPal and no account with SurfShark. What about my protection as a disabled consumer on a fixed income who is out that money and has no product? And now, as I look here on BBB, I see even more reason to feel like I was scammed. I responded to an ad on ******* that was misleading and now I lost out while a big company gets to make money for nothing. I don't understand.

  Hi ********,

  Thank you for reaching out to our support team regarding your refund request. We did receive all of your requests and our team replied promptly and most recently on April 30th. We contacted the Surfshark on your behalf and requested an exception to their refund policy. Unfortunately, they have declined our request.
  
  We understand that this may be disappointing, but we want to assure you that we are here to assist you in any way we can. Please let ** know if you have any further questions or concerns.

  Dear ********,

  I would like to apologize for any inconvenience or frustration caused. I would like to clarify that our company is responsible for processing orders and payments, however, decisions regarding refunds for products are made by the respective companies, in this case, Surfshark and must follow their refund policy. Their refund policy can be found at: *********************************************************************************.

  I am rejecting this response because: as has been stated several times, I requested a refund the very day after trying the product and finding that it wasnt a fit for my computer system. It was not my responsibility that my account got deleted because I did not delete it. These companies still got the money for the services that were not provided to me. Clever bridge is the one who built for the Services, surf shark keeps passing the buck to clever bridge and clever bridge keeps passing the buck to surf shark. If this is their strategy its just more obvious that its a scam.I have not received a refund and I have no product available to me. Again, this company is taking advantage of people.

  2 years ago I subscribed to Surfshark. I used that service for a year then decided not to renew. I cancelled my subscription. Creditbridge did not bill me for the 2022 year. Today 04/23/2023, Creditbridge submitted an invoice to my PayPal a/c in the amount of $71.74 and PayPal paid it. I have tried to fight via PayPal without success so have closed that A/C. For a company supposedly involved in cyber security I find this act uncontainable. I require the immediate refund of that money together with assurance that I will not be bothered again.

  Cleverbridge falsely billed my PayPal for a transaction that never occurred. They never provided a billing statement and they have no customer support system for assistance with false charges from their system. I confirmed on their website that they do not offer any of the services they claim to offer over the phone and they have taken down their customer support line and page.

  I have been a NitroPro user since 2015. ** Dec 2019, I received a marketing offer to purchase the upgrade license to Nitro Sign, which I immediately did. The verbiage on the NitroSign purchase receipt states: "Nitro Productivity Suite - Upgrade The Nitro Pro you know and love, plus unlimited eSignatures and online PDF productivity with Nitro Cloud, now available in one solution." I have never used the NitroSign feature until I attempted to on Dec 22, 2022. By that time, Cleverbridge had turned this feature into an annual subscription. I purchased a single license use, just like my NitroPro PDF license. On January 9, 2023, I received confirmation that the NitroSign feature had been restored to my account. On January 17, 2023, I received this message: "Our Product team is still evaluating the future of Nitro Sign. For now, your Nitro Sign license is valid and you are welcome to use the service." On April 14, 2023, I needed to have a document signed by a customer of mine and yet again, the Nitro Sign feature IS NOT tied to my account or license for Nitro Pro. After spending hours trying to send a trouble ticket through the company's website, I can't get one through. I have had it. This company needs to: 1. Honor the original license purchased and give me what I paid for. I have followed all of their instructions, uninstalling, reinstalling, deactivating, and reactivating. I am out of activations. I JUST NEED THIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE TO WORK, AND WORK NOW AND FOREVER AS LONG AS I OWN THIS LICENSE!A second issue with this company, is when logging into their system to try and use this service, their website ALWAYS ASKS ME FOR A BUSINESS EMAIL address. I have used Hotmail as my business email for the last 15 years. I DO NOT WANT TO REGISTER any other email address to my account. My coworker who I referred to ******** and NitroSign is using his corporate email address and has no issues with using the NitroSign feature. Cleverbridge needs to fix this issue.
