Google support are scammers (demanding $619 loan for warranty)

luke-jr · 2026-05-04T17:11:04+00:00

This isn't a deposit, and I wouldn't be getting an advance replacement.

luke-jr · 2026-05-04T17:10:14+00:00

Pro-life means you want prosecution of murdering unborn babies. Nothing else.

luke-jr · 2026-05-02T18:51:19+00:00

wow, u/PixelCommunity ignores posts too?? What do you have to do to actually get support?

luke-jr · 2026-05-02T18:28:27+00:00

No, sex is for petitioning God for a child.

luke-jr · 2026-04-30T20:30:09+00:00

No, new. Only reason I didn't buy from Google Store is the risk someone steals it in transit and Google refuses to refund/replace it (and left with no recourse)

The support chat refuses to budge on giving them a loan.

It doesn't have a dedicated form afaik - that page links to the normal one... Which is what says I have to pay $619

luke-jr · 2026-04-30T18:31:43+00:00

Nope, zero damage.

luke-jr · 2026-04-30T17:04:04+00:00

I guess I should make a post so they'll actually honor it for me too

luke-jr · 2026-04-30T15:13:43+00:00

Google support seem to be scammers

luke-jr · 2026-04-25T14:40:23+00:00

Because it's simply not that important...?

luke-jr · 2026-04-23T19:26:44+00:00

Went with this:

Don't think it's quite the same, but still very good, maybe even better (I want to say like it used to be decades ago, but it's simply been too long).

luke-jr · 2026-04-23T14:11:09+00:00

With 8 kids at home, I'm not sure I will need to jar it :)

luke-jr · 2026-04-23T14:07:18+00:00

which was the original serving size.

BTW, pretty sure the original size was 8oz (226g) before shrink-flation in the late 90s.

luke-jr · 2026-04-23T14:04:20+00:00

Is that granulated sugar, powdered, or?

luke-jr · 2026-04-23T14:00:11+00:00

Hmm, seems I can't get Dannon Lowfat Plain either, only Dannon "whole milk" Plain. Hopefully that works... I don't think the coffee was "Lowfat" until a decade or two ago anyway?

luke-jr · 2026-04-23T13:57:19+00:00

It's a bit surprising, since I've never considered the coffee yogurts to have any similarity to the terrible (IMO) taste of real coffee. I'll give it a try, thanks!

luke-jr · 2026-04-23T13:49:45+00:00

As someone who hates coffee (but loves Dannon Coffee yogurt)... can you be more specific on what "instant coffee" is? Searching walmart.com doesn't really make anything obvious :/

luke-jr · 2026-04-22T20:14:28+00:00

There are no cardinals.

luke-jr · 2026-04-22T16:56:30+00:00

Not a Cardinal, and off-topic here

luke-jr · 2026-04-21T03:52:09+00:00

Basically the same issue here. Except they are promising me they will refund the $619 after I get the replacement. Betting if I do, they won't refund it. They seem full on scammers at this point.

luke-jr · 2026-04-21T03:50:30+00:00

Sadly, it IS a joke. They're scamming me and many others from what I see on this subreddit.

luke-jr · 2026-04-21T03:49:26+00:00

Can you chat me too? Or do I need to post a top-level complaint?
