I have been a member of this site since it was Globaltestmarket which has been about 10 years. My Mom had a stroke last year so I have been busy taking care of her. I had accumulated over ***** life points over the years and given that we could really use the money right now I decided to redeem it. I went to sign in and it said my account was temporarily unavailable and to contact the help desk. I contacted them and received and email back that said."The information provided during the registration process did not pass some security checks we perform"What does that even mean? I've been a member for years and suddenly it's terminated and I lose all the points I've worked hard for. Word to the wise stay far far away from this site. After reading these reviews it's obvious I'm not the only one who's been scammed. Just wish I had been smart enough to cash out. But I guess I trusted too much. Shame.What I want is to be let into my account to redeem my points or the be refunded to equivalent cash value of the points to what was available for me to redeem.Business Response

I have been unable to log into my account for the last few days and keep seeing this error: "ERROR MESSAGE Sorry, your membership is temporarily unavailable. Please contact our help desk** for support." I contacted Support And received a reply that my account is no longer active with no explanation. This company owes me money and I was in the middle of working on a project. I am asking that I receive a full pay out of my balance and that my account be reinstated immediately.There is no way any policies were violated because I have only updated my email address successfully, and never do any surveys - other than special projects they ask of me because of so many problems encountered in the past.Business Response

I inadvertently accepted the last response I received from your office stating that the account complaint would be closed. The issue has not been resolved and I do not wish to close this matter. I misunderstood your final email. please reopen this case file.Thank you

I joined lifepoints a few months ago to earn some extra cash but after a few hours decided it wasn't for me. so what happens after I close my account. every week 2 times a week i can spam text. Asking me to sign up to win a tablet and wanting my credit card info etc.. and today i got a text telling me I am being reimbursed for a payment i did with my phone. I never use my phone to buy stuff.Plus I have not signed up for any other sites. They sold my information so I'd get these texts. the number that I get is extra long like the last one said 220 **** ****** and with odd sites on the text like owimig.club/WQ4HEaF all these texts have my full name too. I reply with stop or please stop texting me with no response. I do report the text to my phone company and block the number but then I get a new text a few days later with a new number but still too long to be a usa number and a new siteBusiness Response

Hello.
Please understand, you do not need to actually 'join' or 'subscribe' to a website in order for them to collect your data and start sending you spam. Data is collected on many websites once you visit and/or click on a link. We do not send text messages to our members and once an account is unsubscribed, we do not initiate any communication with the member.
Again, we apologize that this is happening to you but we can assure you, we are not the cause of the spam you are receiving. Please contact the websites that you have recently visited and discuss this directly with them. They will be the ones that can help you get this resolved for you.
