Title: My paid VPN is not working!!!
Post by: gavi.marquez on May 31, 2022, 09:50:29 AM
I purchased Avast secureline VPN on May 18th (order ID: 1325821994439) and it used to work more less fine but now is telling me that my product is expired when I paid for a one year license!
Also, your product does not work with other streaming services like HBO Max, Disney+, etc. and even some local websites. Honestly, other VPN services do a much better job for a way cheaper price.
I'm really not satisfied with the product and that you steal my money like that, if someone from Avast does not contact me to resolve this I'm really considering about taking legal action.

Hi,

Since you have a paid subscription I would suggest that you contact Avast Support via https://support.avast.com/contact/paid

Thanks but I did that already. I keep getting automatic responses and links to articles which are not helpful at all. Also, it's impossible to contact you by phone or email.
I would like to speak with a real person!!!

Thank you, I really appreciate your help! But at this point I'm just really frustrated and I only want my money back.
Can someone please from customer support contact me directly to my email??
I'm using this forum as last resource because it's been impossible to get in touch with someone to solve my case.

Hi,

If you went to this website https://support.avast.com/contact/paid, all you have to do is select the platform (e.g. Windows), select the application (Avast SecureLine VPN) and click Next. It would take you to this page (https://support.avast.com/en-ww/contact/paid_pc_avast-secureline-VPN), where you can chat with a live person or send an email.

Now you have had a response by r@vast (Avast Team member).

I suggest that you edit your post and remove your email on a publicly available forum or it could be harvested.

Appreciate your help but I don't consider that as a response from an Avast team member. I haven't received an email from anyone in customer support.

As I said before, I already used the chat and they only sent me these automatic responses with exactly the same links as you did. Then I tried to contact you by email to support@avast.com and it's been almost a week without a response. The worst part was when I tried to call, long time waiting and some of the phone numbers online are not even from the right company.

I'm sorry but your customer service is really disappointing. I tried this forum as last means to contact someone from Avast but if that does not work then I will just proceed with legal action.

My main point was to have you edit your post and remove your email address from a public forum where it could be harvested and used by spammers/scammers, etc.  Its still there.

You aren't trying to contact me, as I'm an Avast user not an Avast Team member.

Did you use the link given by Asyn to request a refund ?
You're welcome.

Hi,

Contacting Avast support is generally an easy process if you make use of the links we have provided. When using the chat option, you will be connected to a live person, hence there should not be any automatic responses. Using the same links you can also send us an email if you wish. The email address you used support @avast.com is not used for contacting Avast support, hence you have not received any reply.
Could you please attach a screenshot of what you see when you try the links (https://support.avast.com/en-ww/contact/paid_pc_avast-secureline-VPN
 ; https://support.avast.com/en-us/contact/sales_refund_general? Please see this article on how to generate a screenshot. https://support.avast.com/article/Create-screenshot
