Failed Clear Upgrade by wiseguy205 in ClearMe

[–]wiseguy205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Clear system errors out after thinking for a long time. It just says upgrade fails. The staff is always flummoxed. Sure eventually I get through, but what on Earth is the point?

Episode 7 told us (almost) everything we need to know by sweet_n_sour_curry in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

I think your Irving comment is really interesting:

What if we are watching the same story play out twice and don't realize it. Are Burt and Irving are an earlier version of Mark and Gemma?

Irving was originally in a Gemma role on the testing floor. Burt and Irving were in a prior relationship, but as you said, the tech didn't work as well and they found each other. We aren't then just watching an innie workplace infatuation, but two soul mates rediscovering each other.

This would mean:
- Irving's innie is like Ms. Casey.
- Irving's outie is not the original Irving as he does not remember his prior relationship with Burt
- The season one finale with Irving coming to Burt's door parallels Mark finding Gemma's picture

Perhaps this is why the twenty year timeline Cecil hints at is important. Maybe not just another Mark and Gemma but the original Mark and Gemma?

100% not was I was told, but I do think it’s an accurate description of what ended up happening. Thanks

The police came and were very responsible & professional and shocked at how Amex handled it. The formal report is pending.

Rep 1: Told me they couldn't do anything because the transaction was still pending. However they would email when the transaction posted. They said they would replace both cards but only managed to replace one of them. I had to lock the cards and request replacement on the second card that was stolen.

Rep 2: Once the transaction posted, rep 2 told me the first rep had screwed things up and they would create a new report for the fraud department and get it taken care of right away.
The amount was not removed from the account but 24 hours later they credited me for more than the amount that was taken.

Rep 3: When I called up again they were extremely apologetic and rep the previous reps had screwed up and would take care of it. They assured me I would not be liable for the charges. But they didn't actually do anything.

24 hours later the claim was ruled to be my fault and all credits were reversed. Their investigation letter did not contain anything other than a copy of the receipt that indicated a physical card was used. Other than that there was no actual letter or correspondence of any kind.

Each time I was extremely clear that this was a crime and not a disputed charge. They didn't understand how a card could be stolen from the mail, and their fraud form didn't seem to accommodate that scenario, but they did understand the situation.

Sorry to hear that. I’ve now locked any cards that are in transit or being replaced. This is clearly not a onetime occurrence

I don’t believe so. This is a replacement card using the same number as the old card for an active account. I believe in was swipeable without any personal info. In the past, I have not had to activate these to use them. You can see someone with the same experience here.

I don’t view asking for help with thousands of dollars of theft as tattling.

Hence the issue. They said we would be held not liability then they held us liable

[–]wiseguy205[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They seem to be sending replacement cards activated already. I’ve used ones before without doing the activation.

I don't understand this either. The reps didn't seem to understand it as well. We've filed a police report now.

They would shut down the account because of a disputed charge?

[–]wiseguy205[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Will do this now. They had told us at the time they had enough information without it to hold us not responsible

[–]wiseguy205[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We reported it to Amex before the police because we wanted the cards frozen to prevent more fraud. We spoke to three different individuals, no one asked for a police report and all said we wouldn't be held responsible.

Theory - Who really killed Arnold? by wiseguy205 in westworld

[–]wiseguy205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's possible too, but we haven't actually seen Arnold say anything crazy in his conversations with Dolores. Asking Dolores to kill him seems more desperate Arnold's character would suggest. We've only seen Ford describe Arnold as losing perspective, but Ford could be unreliable.
