Electronic Arts (EA) review: suspension? 106

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I can't be sure, but it seems as though my account [Birdland007] has been suspended, perhaps by a complaint from someone. Under no circumstances do I use profanity nor do I agree with the many insulting antics that go one with some members of this game club. The suspension seems to have occurred after a bridge game with an opponent named SeaBisquit, who very promptly put in the computer in place of my partner after my real partner left the game. He didn't allow a moment for my partner to return. So I refused to bid. Eventually with 4 real partners partaking in the game they would be able to boot me from the game. But I didn't stay to see the outcome. If stalling is justification for suspension, then there ought to be a reciprocal penalty for deliberately replacing someone's partner in the game with a computer. The computer cannot bid properly. I am incensed that my account has been suspended. And it is very clear that SeaBisquit did this deliberately because I asked who replaced my partner with the computer, and he said "Who do you think?" ... as if tough; what are you going to do about it? Please consider suspending SeaBisquit with his orange-ranked score for inconsiderate unsportsmanlike conduct, not me.

Downloaded a free trial of Bookworm over a year ago. No one in my family has used this game for the past 8 months or so. Three months ago Pogo.com began charging my bank account for 5.99 each month. There is no easy way to get to my account information to be able to stop payments. Help!

Logged on to cancel my Pogo.com account at ea.com. I find that I have no account with ea.com, but they have charged my bank account $5.99 for the last 3 months. What gives here?

I signed up for a 1yr subscription about two weeks ago and when I enter the sight they tell me my time will expire on the 10th of September when I signed up they said: I would have two weeks free but now they are telling that my time will expire on the 10th... It has not happened yet but how do you speak to them to find out what the story is...

Please advise smb!

Whenever I try and sit at a pogo spades games table, I am not allowed to do so. I have been playing at pogo free games since I had my computer and have tried to contact it's customer service dedpt. without success.

I am player pizzapie8458. For some reason i was reporting a cheat in the game backgammon. I was warning other plyaers not to play with this player (JoJo). All of a sudden I was suspended. I did not break any rules and it is so difficult to get someone to talk to from POGO. I hope I am at the correct spot to complain and I want to be reinstated ASAP

I won a meager $10 on Pogo.com in a jackpot spin and they REFUSE to pay me, saying that I, too, cheated (as they have told many of you - which is ridiculous!), and I SUBMITTED PROOF THAT I DID NOT! I told them I would be having them investigated for fraud and all they have done is repeatedly sent me generic emails that say the same thing over and over again. SOMEONE PLEASE REPORT THIS COMPANY! What they are doing is ILLEGAL!

I paid for two gift subscriptions for Pogo games and neither person I bought for can get in the games, I suggest Pogo recognize my complaint is serious, I don,t throw money away. And your taking my money and we are getting nothing, that is theft in my opinion, so get with it and turn on the pogo games for these two.

I received my Visa account and I am charged for $39.99 for Pogo. I had cancelled Pogo the first part of January of 2008. Why am I billed for the full charge. I will wait for your answer. Thank you in advance.

I have, on SEVERAL occasions, tried to logon to certain games. No success - unless I want to wait for hours - or be treated as a new neighbor in a bad community.

I don't know or care who the server is - you need to fix the problem in my area - noone else I see online has this problem.

This involves Pogo.com games. Recently I was informed that I needed to change the way I am able to receive my game and was given a new way to do so by accessing the Java system. I tried to do this and asked others to help me to install the system all failed in spite of following the directions.

Pogo has more and more report happy people getting on and instead of making people report why don't they get moderators that way people don't get banned for wrong reasons. I have a story have to tell that just happened yesterday. I got banned for two days because someone reported me for advertising cheats which I did none of the sort and if they had a phone number they would understand my explanation better and would get back on right away. Ok the story is I wrote in chat when someone else was talking about using a dictionary for word whomp to help figure out words. I use the same thing I said and said I use this program where I click on the letters and put it into program and then it gives words that go with the word whomp letters which then I click the letters and put them in myself. I then said i can't do word whomp whackdown because goes too fast for being able to figure out words. I wish pogo had a better way to contact them so then we wouldn't have problems that can't be solved. Moderators would help too so then we don't have report happy people we just have people who know what is right to report for.

I wrote them by email and they just gave me reason why I was banned they didn't disagree or agree with my wanting to get back. I want to know what they think and want to say a better explaination. There was a bad misunderstanding.

I completely agree that pogo.com is a scam and nothing but. I have been a member since 2000, and have yet to see ANY winner on the site (bot or otherwise). I have literally asked people in every single room if they've ever met/chatted to/known a winner. To date, I've never run across a single person who knows anybody who's won their 'jackpot'.

This site apparently gets paid pretty well for it's cheezy graphics and half-assed games.

Hmmm...*scratches chin* ... very interestink...

I have been a member of pogo since 2001 and have 3 pogo memberships. In the last 3 months, pogo is constantly down because of server problems. Today it has been down for hours upon hours. Egames as owner of pogo should be taken to task for this.

My dad won a check for 3950.00 through one of thier tourneyments for pool. *9 ball* Weeks later in the mail he got a check for above said amount. Well we took it to the local bank. The bank manager immediately flags the check for being a stolen account nmbr that the company whom it belongs to never authorized pogo.com to use. So not only did we get embarrassed but we gained nothing as well. Pogo lies when they say they give out money.

after paying $39.99 for a 1, year subscription to pogo, now the games are hard toget into to play. The letters will stick or not move at all. The games will just cut off at any time, completely off. I AM REQUESTING MY $39.99 BE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY. ALSO INSTEAD OF ONE GAME SPACE COMING UP ON THE SCREEN IT MAY TWO OR THREE.
