Found out about chargeback scams today.
Some guy wanted to donate $2800 to my paypal!
I was skeptical so I aimed him at my GoFundMe instead.
GoFundMe has protections to prevent people from finding any kind of personal information about you, and has protections from chargeback scammers.
Which I only found out because after he demanded I send him either a Cash App or a PayPal link instead of a gofundme, I did some googling and found out that scammers will do the following:
They set their Cash App or PayPal primary form of payment to a stolen credit card
They send you all the money on the card
They change their Cash App or PayPal primary form of payment to their bank account
They wait 1-20 days
They do a charge-back and get a refund, pulling the money out of your account without warning
This is called a Chargeback Scam.
GoFundMe prevents this by only processing chargebacks to the payment info that the donation was made with, while Cash App and PayPal don't have that protection.
If someone wants to "Bless" your Cash App or PayPal with some random amount of money: That's the amount of money on the stolen credit card's checking account that they just stole.
Obviously nobody would say "No" to a random gigantic amount of money being donated to them no strings attached, right? That's how they getcha.
Be safe out there, everyone.

Okay friends! Comissions have been opened!! I will only be taking a few comissions at first. If you'd like one, PM me!
FAQ:
Payment? - Payment is done 50/50. Half up front. Last half when finished! I use Cash App.
WIP updates? - This will be discussed with whoever is requesting a piece! If requested, I will send a WIP before going to lineart and other steps. Customer satisfaction is top priority so I will fix whatever needs done! Weekly updates at most. Do not ask me for updates daily.
Refunds? - No refunds. If we go through everything and you like it during the process, if there is an issue with final product I can fix it instead.
Price Negotiations? - Less a negotiation on price, more offered deals! Like if you get 3 characters, I can do a free background or something. Will be OFFERED by me. Do not ask for it please.
References? -If you have a reference of your character, I will absolutely let you send it to me and I will use that to ensure I get as close to your character as possible.
OCxCanon? CanonxCanon? - I can do whatever!

Top Ways to Make Money in 2025 Make $500 or More This Week
Does the title look somewhat familiar? I’m sure you’ve come across ads or websites with this topic and it’s a LIE. Maybe you’ve noticed they haven’t actually utilized the suggestions they are promoting and earning $500 from their suggestions is often a lie. Once I see the bingo or casino style game apps it’s pretty clear. I read the reviews in the app store where there’s hidden costs or worse they are an outright scam! Avoiding scams, knowing if you have to shell out money, or when and how you can get the returns promised are crucial considerations. Which are important when struggling and in dire need, yet this is something that tends to be entirely overlooked by the typical “Need Money Fast?” style posts. Lets change that! Not only have I used and tested these apps, I will give you the details on what to expect and strategies to leverage multiple apps together to gain the best earnings!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Realistically you could to earn between $100 to $300 within your first week. The catch: you need to use the links I provide and get the bonuses! Yes they are affiliate links where we both benefit!
This article is in 5 parts:
Shopping Apps Make or get money back on your purchases! Survey Apps Earn money for your opinions, insights, and more. Investment Apps Earn while you learn about investing! Other Options Here’s some other ways to generate income. Strategies Some ways to get the best gains and earn more!
Shopping Apps
Social Nature
Social Nature lets you try natural, eco-friendly products for free in exchange for reviews. From organic snacks to eco-friendly cleaning supplies or makeup, you can explore healthier alternatives by signing up, receiving free or rebates products, and sharing your feedback.
How it works:
There isn't a smartphone app for this yet; you access the webpage through your browser and receive updates through text message and email. There are a few ways this works:
You receive a voucher coupon for the product.
You purchase the product and upload a receipt for a full or partial refund.
How does it payout?
If you are getting a voucher, it can take about a week or sometimes longer to receive it in the mail.
For the cash-back option, after uploading the receipt, you will usually receive an email from [email protected] within 72 hours. Follow the prompts for the payout.
Social Nature Common Complaints & Fixes
Long Wait for Approval
Fix: Complete your profile and apply for various products to increase your chances. Being consistent with reviews will improve product selection. Not Receiving Product or vouchers
Fix: Double-check your shipping info and contact support if needed.
Receipt Issues
Fix: If the WiFi or data connection is slow there will be errors or issues with uploading. Connect to a working WiFi or move to an area with better signal. Refresh the website and upload again.
Fix: If the receipt is not clear, get another one from the store. If the receipt is clear but not processing, reach out to support. Didn't receive the cash-back email from Tremendous? Go to My Products from the Menu, Click on the product and contact support.
No Products To Try
Fix: Sometimes there are not products available to try, come back in a week or two for updates.
Currently the affiliate link doesn’t provide a bonus at this time when you sign up and share you link you are entered into a raffle. Join Social Nature Here: https://www.socialnature.com/friend-referral/?referrer=friend-146442-74ea825c-link
Fetch Rewards
Fetch Rewards lets users earn points by scanning receipts from everyday purchases at grocery stores, restaurants, and more. You can redeem these points for things such as gift cards to popular retailers like Apple, Barnes & Noble, Lowes, Sephora, Ulta, The Vitamin Shop and many more!
How it works:
With Fetch, you can:
Photograph and upload physical receipts
Scan your email for applicable e-receipts from select retailers
Use the app to purchase from online retailers and earn points
Play games/try out other apps to earn points
Points can be redeemed as gift cards, join a raffles to win prizes, or donate to a cause of your choice within the Fetch app
How does it payout?
Starting around 100 points you can join the raffles.
With 3,000 points, you can donate.
At 5,000 points, you can redeem gift cards.
To redeem points click on your point balance in the upper right corner of the screen, then click on the amount of points you have or want to redeem, and follow the prompts.
Fetch Common Complaints & Fixes
Not Receiving The Right Amount of Points for Receipts *This can be prevented by taking multiple pics of your receipt before swiping up to submit it.
Fix: Check the details of the offer to see if the store you got the product from and/or the product qualifies. If it does, there are two ways to fix this Go to your profile, click on points activity, select the receipt, in the upper right corner there is the pencil edit icon, you can add the item manually.
Fix: Go to your profile, click on points activity, select the receipt, in the upper right corner there is the pencil edit icon, you can add an item if the initial scan didn't pick it up, or you can click on the mislabeled item and scan the barcode or select find product. Then submit it for review.
Fix: Go to the home page and look for the item offer. Select the item then scroll down to where it says "Missing points from this offer?" And click on "Correct receipt." Select the receipt with the item and click correct receipt or contact support. Then follow the prompts.
Play Points for playing games through Fetch are Missing or Incorrect
Fix: Refresh the app, contact support. The catch...you can be rewarded the missing points, but...read the email support message and note this is a problem and using the play aspect can be risky.
App Freezing or Crashing
Fix: Close and reopen the app, update it, or clear the cache. If needed, reinstall the app.
Slow Point Redemption
Fix: Ensure your email is verified and check your spam folder for gift cards.
It takes a long time (1 month+) to build up points to redeem a decent amount!
Fix: Keep up on the higher point incentives and featured incentives as they change frequently! Games will net you better points too but you do need to enable app tracking. Invite friends to the app especially when the bonus is high.
Despite some hiccups, Fetch offers an easy way to earn rewards from everyday purchases, and most issues can be quickly resolved.
Using this link https://referral.fetch.com/vvv3/referraltext?code=7P2KJN or Code: 7P2KJN to get started with 2000 points!

Fix: Wait 10 days as they confirm with the payment processor of the business that the transaction went through.

AttaPoll Common Complaints & Fixes
Low Survey Availability
Fix: Complete your profile, enable notifications, and check the app at different times of the day.

Fix: Contact Support by clicking on your profile select “Help” then select “Surveys” or “Other” and follow the prompts.
Payment Delays

Eureka is one of the best survey apps! It has a great design, easy to navigate layout and most of all if you start a survey and get disqualified they still give you $.02 for your time.

With a fun easy-to-use interface and frequent surveys, it's a popular app for making extra money. However, like any rewards app, there are common complaints. Here's a breakdown and how to fix them.
How does it payout?
Earn $5 to be eligible for the payout, and you are limited to one payout every 24 hours!
Once your payment is processed, take the feedback survey to immediately earn $1.25
Eureka Common Complaints & Fixes
Closed Surveys
Fix: This happens a bit and you dont get the $.02 reward! The way to navigate this is to do surveys Monday to Friday!
Survey Disqualifications
Fix: This happens quite a bit, lessen the chances of this happening when you fully complete your profile, answer screening questions honestly, and frequent the app to have more recent surveys show up.
Low Survey Availability
Fix: Ensure your profile is detailed, turn on notifications, and check the app at different times. Close or refresh the app frequently. Eureka will only show a limited amount of surveys as you complete surveys, more will appear. However, during the weekdays is the best time to have ample survey availability.
Payouts Problems
Fix: Ensure your app is up to date, check that PayPal is verified, make sure your internet connection is working well as low or no signal areas will cause problems. Contact support if delays persist longer than 30 minutes!
Survey Issues

INVESTMENT APPS
Coinbase
Coinbase is a leading platform for buying, selling, investing and earning cryptocurrency.
How it works:
For this, you will be using Coinbase's learn-to-earn based Rewards program, where you can earn free crypto simply by completing educational quizzes or tasks. Cryptocurrency can be a profitable investment! By earning while you learn the basics, you can gain valuable insights into the realm of investments in digital finance. Coinbase has some international limitations see those here I'm going to be honest, Coinbase can be very complicated, especially if you are brand new to cryptocurrencies! Take your time and have patience as you go through some of the tasks! Also several of the tasks may require money to complete! Also do not withdraw the currency earned until all steps of the task are complete, as that may go towards completing the task! For example, with a task you may be rewarded learning about a cryptocurrency, then rewarded for downloading and installing a wallet connected to that currency. Another reward for transfering the currency earned to the wallet and then earning more with using some to do an activity through the wallet to then complete the task. Feel free to reach out via the comments below this post or to me directly for support.
How does it payout?
Coinbase often gives you the option to receive your sale proceeds as USD (deposited to your cash balance) or as USDC (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar). Here's the clarified "Payouts" section:
Payouts (Getting Cash from Selling Crypto):
When you sell your cryptocurrency on Coinbase, you'll want to get that money into your bank account. Here's how it works:
Sell your crypto: You tell Coinbase you want to sell your Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other crypto.
Choose USD: Coinbase might give you a choice between USD (US dollars) and USDC (a digital dollar). To get real money in your bank, you MUST choose USD. This puts the money into your Coinbase USD balance.
Withdraw to your bank: Once the sale is complete and the USD is in your Coinbase USD balance, you then tell Coinbase to send that money to your linked bank account. This is called a "withdrawal."
Wait for the money: It usually takes 1-3 business days for the money to show up in your bank account.
Important Note about USDC: USDC is a type of cryptocurrency that's designed to be worth the same as a US dollar. It's useful for trading and other things within the crypto world, but if your goal is to get cash in your bank account, you need to choose USD when selling your crypto, and then withdraw the USD to your bank.
Common Complaints & Fixes
Rewards Not Showing After Quizzes or tasks
Fix: Ensure you completed the quiz, log out and back in, or contact support if the issue persists. I have experienced delays between 5 to 10 minutes on rewards.
Account Restrictions on Rewards
Fix: Verify your identity, ensure your country is eligible, and reach out to support for further help.
Fix: Coinbase has some international limitations see those here
Fix: Sometimes your ability to earn rewards just disappears or they change the menu configurations frequently. Take a break from the app and usually the issue will be resolved later.
Sign up for Coinbase and make a deposit in your account using my link and we can each get $20 in BTC. https://coinbase.com/join/RH5F3K3 Use Code: RH5F3K3 *If you have a hard time navigating tech, this may not be for you.
Webull
Webull makes it easy for beginners to start investing, offering new users up to 12 free stocks for signing up and depositing. This gives you an instant portfolio with no risk.
How does it work?
Create a Webull account and make a deposit.
Claim your free stocks you need to claim them or you wont get them.

How does it payout?
You can sell your stocks through the Webull platform and withdraw the proceeds to your bank account.
Note: The offers change frequently, some require adding in one cent, others $100+ read the fine print. But this is still a great way to start getting into investing! You can withdraw what you deposit.
Common Complaints & Fixes
This can be a confusing interface
Fix: Be sure to start with options for being new to trading. When I joined it gave me the option o that. You can start with paper trading and use educational resources.
Slow Customer Support
Fix: Use the help center or detailed in-app messages for faster responses.
Tax Confusion
Fix: Learn about capital gains taxes and use Webull's tax tools to stay informed.
Webull's free stocks, educational resources, and easy-to-use tools make it a great platform for new investors to start growing their wealth. Happy investing!

Returns & Cancellations:
Fix: While Poshmark generally has a no returns policy, disputes may arise if an item is misrepresented. Be transparent in descriptions and disclose any flaws.

Payments go through Stripe, so you must link a valid bank account or debit card.
Set Your Availability – Choose when and where you want to work.
Accept Walks & Pet Care Requests – Browse available dog-walking, sitting, or boarding jobs in your area. Take photos and videos, follow the owners directions
How does it payout?
Complete a Service – Finish a dog walk, pet sitting, or other service.
Receive Payment Held in Earnings Tab – Earnings are typically processed every Friday for completed services.
Choose Payout Option – Use Instant Pay for quick access or wait for the weekly direct deposit.
Instant Pay – You may need to meet criteria before you can use the Instant Payout option. Fees are applied to this with minimum pay fee of 1.99 below $60 or 3% fee above $60 per transaction (this is subject to change), the benefit is it allows to receive funds within minutes via debit card.
Standard Payout – Free, but funds may take 3-5 business days to be deposited into your bank account. For me the money that is attributed to the standard payout happens weekly with the money going out of Wag Earnings on Thursday.
Your Earnings will display what is available with the weekly payout and the instant payout. If you opt for the instant payout it will include the weekly payout and 0 out your earnings.
Common Complaints & How to Resolve Them:
Low Pay for New Walkers:
Fix: Increase your earnings by accepting repeat clients and focusing on doing 30 min and 1 hour walks.
Fix: Offer additional services like pet sitting or boarding to boost income.
Scheduling Challenges:
Fix: The competition for walks can be high in some areas. Stay active on the app and enable notifications to grab new opportunities quickly.
Fix: Expand you radius for walks
Fix: Head to an area with higher demand to do on demand walks.
App Glitches & GPS Issues:
Fix: If the app isn’t tracking your walk properly, ensure your location settings are turned on and update the app regularly to avoid bugs.
Fix: Low signal areas may be challenging, get to spots with signal, use WIFI when available, contact support after the gig is complete.
Lots of fees
Fix: Be aware and prepared for the fees use the bonus link Wag charges a one time fee could be $65 for the background check with joining. Joine using my link https://wagwalking.com/dog-walker?code=BRETTNEY29322 apply and earn $25!
Fix: Avoid using the Instant Pay feature
Fix: Avoid paying for boosting your account but I could work starting out to get more work or higher paying walks.
It’s a learning curve and the upfront fee may be a barrier to begin. Yet once you get established and set-up recurring walks it can be a decent side gig. Want to try this out? Apply and earn a $25 bonus when accepted! (Terms apply.) https://wagwalking.com/dog-walker?code=BRETTNEY29322 Use code: BRETTNEY29322
Strategy
HOW I MAXIMIZE MY EARNINGS
Start with Social Nature look for deals that can be used at grocery stores that offer cash back through Upside then upload the receipt to Fetch. You not only get reimbursed through Social Nature you actually make some money.
Fetch is useful as you will earn points on any and all receipts that you can combine with points offered through credit and debit cards. As a hack you can use friends receipts, found receipts and double receipts like when you go get an itemized receipt and a separate credit processing slip.
Upside can combine with cash back offers and Fetch high point offers at grocery stores, and cash back credit or debit card offers with specific restaurants.
Attapoll and Eureka can give you bonus offers for JOINING apps like Upside Webull and Coinbase You can try to maximize the offer by seeing if you can use my affiliate code on top of the offer through the poll apps! I found Upside through Attapoll.
Enjoy using and combining these suggestions and let me know how it goes or if you have questions in the comments below!

HEADS UP! Animated headshot can not be used as a pfp on deviantart unless you can change it yourself, I use ibis paint and I can't use it as a pfp, I can turn it into a gif and size it down, no matter what the file size is too large. So Don't order that with the intentions of using it as a pfp on deviantart! OPEN COMMISIONS! All prices and do's and don'ts and overall terms are listed! Just making this clear any purchases made hold a 30-day 25% discount! It only applies to drawings over 40 dollars and to be clear the 25% is cut from the final price not the base price! If you we're charged 45 cause of some changes while the original was 40, instead of 30 dollars it would be 33.75! (This discount lets you use it on one drawing, you can gain another once you buy a drawing that you don't use a discount on! ^^)
Will not do, haggle prices after full price has been agreed on, pedophilic depictions, putting minors in unsafe environments, humans, (I can't draw humans sorry!) any drawings endangering non anthropomorphic animals, hateful art.
Do's, send me ref images, keep in contact, use any fursona you'd like I am willing to draw all and any species, send dnd oc's, fan characters! That is all I offer as of now! Custom ones like kimono and chibi can be requested though I've not drawn in my new style, and they will cost extra, I hope you guys decide to commission me or help spread the word!
Payment! I go through cash app, do not pay me before I have agreed to a slot and requested for the payment. Commissions can be either paid 100% upfront or split 50% upfront and 50% after sketch approval.
Communication! Please leave a comment/dm if your interested! I'll follow you and we can talk over dms I also offer Telegram!
Process and delivery: I will notify when I have started on your commission, you will lose the right to refund past this point unless I fail to complete your drawing, in that case you'll receive a full refund. While I'm working on your commission I will be checking in and verifying to make sure you enjoy the drawing! I'll notify you how long I think said commission will take once everything has been finalized, once the time I will take has been approved I'll start working! If anything comes in the way of your commission being made, I will make sure to let you know as soon as possible! Once the drawing is complete you will receive the image, note that there is no physical product
Terms: All my drawings have a signature you do not have permission to remove. I may post or record the art I have drawn, this does not mean I will claim the character as my own. Prices will change based on demand. I have the right to reject any order that makes me feel uncomfortable drawing for any reason. I do not allow anyone to sell my art without permission, this includes turning it into nfts.
The buyer is allowed to, Sell my drawing along with your other drawings if you were to be selling or trading your character off. Post on their social media with credit, this includes videos. Print the artwork and claim they own the character(s) as their own but not the art drawn.
The following is considered copyright infringement: Reproducing/using the copyrighted artwork commercially means making money off of it in any way. Claiming the artwork as your own. Removing my signature. Altering the artwork without my consent. I reserve the rights to the image and it's use/distribution unless otherwise agreed upon.

Terms of Service
I require full payment upfront. Acceptable forms of payment are Ko-fi, PayPal, and Cash App. After receiving payment, I will draw up to 3 sketches with watermarks before settling on a final draft. If a final draft cannot be reached, an 80% refund will be issued. After the final draft has been approved, the commission is NONREFUNDABLE.
There will be 1 active commission slot at a time and I will have a waitlist for additional commissions. I will give the buyer an update during each phase of the commission process— line art, flats, and rendering. I can also give updates when requested. All updates will include heavy watermarks. After 48 hours, if the buyer has not contacted me in regard to an update, I will continue the process. If the buyer has commissioned a rendered piece, once the rendering process has begun, changes are very difficult to make. If the buyer I have created a public Trello page that will track open slots and the progress currently being made on an active slot. I will also keep the commission waitlist posted on my toyhouse account. This process keeps me as the seller accountable to you as the buyer.
Once the commission is done, there will be a single watermark. The commission can be used for personal use as long as the buyer credits my artwork. Personal use buyers cannot use my artwork for monetary gain. I retain the right to post all non-commercial work to social media under the fetusmouse brand. I may also use commissions to promote my work. Currently, I do not offer commercial work, however, if interested, buyers may contact my business email to discuss potential arrangements and pricing. You may not use my art for AI, NFTs, or Crypto related purposes.
Pricing
You may request drawings that include humans, furries, animals, gore, and nudity.
I am potentially open to drawing minor abusive dynamics between adults, but I retain the right to refuse any request for any reason.
I will not draw mechas and proshipping content that includes incest, underaged/pedophilia, feral/bestiality, extreme guro, or illegal fetish content.
Currently, I am not offering animation services.
If you have references of characters or poses, please provide them. I will be able to provide more quality work this way. Otherwise, please be very detailed and descriptive.
Sketch: $20
Flats: $25
Rendered: $30
Current discounts, which are subject to change.
$5 OFF headshots and waists
Buy one and get another 50% OFF
Specials, NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS.
Chibis: $10
Adopts: $15 (ADDITIONAL RULES APPLY)
2 or more characters: extra $15 per character
Simple backgrounds: extra $10
Complex backgrounds: extra $20 and YOU MUST PROVIDE REFERENCES
I will NOT do complex nature scenery
Character reference sheet: $50 (includes 1 rendered pose, 3 chibis, a simple background, and informational text). NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS.
Adopts ~ TOYHOUSE EXCLUSIVE
Adopts I design are currently set at a flat fee of $15. At this time, adopts are CASH ONLY. I do not accept other forms of payment. Adopts are first come first serve. Once the design is sold, it belongs to you.
Please credit me the first time you draw them. I would love to see where how they flourish under your care! The ownership of the adopt design is yours to use for commercial use if you would like, but please be transparent about your intentions regarding that. You can credit me for commercial usage of my designs, but you do not have to. However, do not use my designs for AI, NFTs, or Crypto related purposes. The original artwork cannot be used for commercial use. Please do not use my designs for open or closed species.
Please notify me before you sell adopts you have bought from me. I like knowing about their travels. I might buy them back! Unless it is an emergency sale or the seller is offering extra art, do not sell my adopts for more than you bought them for. That is just bad practice and if I catch this behavior, I will block you from further sales.
Do not use my designs in harmful or hateful ways. I will block and report you for that behavior.
Once a design is no longer within my ownership, I cannot control how people use them, but I encourage a safe environment within my spaces and my expectations are that those who engage with my spaces follow the same decorum.

US Visa Cost from America – Visa Price in India (2025 Guide)
If you're planning a trip to the United States from India, one of the first things to consider is the US visa cost from America and the visa price in India. Whether you're traveling for tourism, business, education, or work, understanding the visa fees can help you budget your trip effectively. In this guide, we’ll break down the US visa fees for various categories, additional costs, and factors influencing visa expenses in India.
US Visa Cost from America – An Overview
The cost of a US visa varies depending on the visa type. The US Department of State determines the visa fees, and they are paid in Indian Rupees (INR) based on the prevailing exchange rate. These fees are non-refundable, meaning even if your application is denied, you won’t get a refund.
As of 2025, US visa fees have been revised, and applicants must be aware of the updated charges before applying. Below, we outline the latest US visa prices in India.
US Visa Fees in India (2025 Updated Prices)
Here are the latest US visa fees for Indian applicants:
B1/B2 (Tourist & Business Visa): $185 (Approx. ₹15,400)
F1 (Student Visa): $185 (Approx. ₹15,400)
J1 (Exchange Visitor Visa): $185 (Approx. ₹15,400)
H1B (Work Visa): $205 (Approx. ₹17,000)
L1 (Intra-Company Transfer Visa): $205 (Approx. ₹17,000)
O1 (Individuals with Extraordinary Ability): $205 (Approx. ₹17,000)
P (Athletes, Artists, Entertainers): $205 (Approx. ₹17,000)
K1 (Fiancé(e) Visa): $265 (Approx. ₹22,000)
E1/E2 (Trader/Investor Visa): $315 (Approx. ₹26,000)
These fees may change based on US government regulations and currency exchange rates.
Factors Affecting US Visa Price in India
Several factors influence the total cost of a US visa in India:
1. Exchange Rate Fluctuations
The visa fees are set in USD and converted to INR at the time of payment. If the exchange rate fluctuates, the total amount you pay in rupees may vary.
2. Additional Service Charges
Apart from the visa application fee, applicants may need to pay additional charges such as:
SEVIS Fee (For F, M, and J visa applicants) – $350 (₹29,000) for F1 visas
Visa Application Center (VAC) Fees – Varies based on location
Premium Processing Fee (for select visa types) – $2,500 (₹2,08,000) for faster processing
3. Travel & Documentation Costs
The visa cost does not include expenses for:
Passport issuance/renewal
Medical examination (if required)
Travel to the US Embassy or Consulate
Courier charges for document delivery
How to Pay US Visa Fees in India?
Applicants in India can pay the US visa fee through the following methods:
NEFT (Bank Transfer): Transfer funds directly from your bank account.
IMPS (Mobile Banking): Instant money transfer through mobile banking apps.
Cash at Designated Banks: Pay in cash at authorized banks like Axis Bank and Citibank.
UPI & Digital Payments (New in 2025): Some consulates now allow payments via UPI for quicker transactions.
Once the payment is completed, keep the receipt as proof, as it will be required during your visa appointment.
Can US Visa Fees Be Refunded or Transferred?
No Refunds: If your visa is denied, the fee is non-refundable.
No Transfer: The payment is tied to the applicant and cannot be transferred to another individual.
Validity: The visa fee is valid for one year from the date of payment, so applicants must schedule their interview within this timeframe.
Latest Updates on US Visa Fees (2025)
The B1/B2 visa fees increased from $160 to $185 in mid-2023 and remain the same in 2025.
The H1B and L1 visa fees increased from $190 to $205 in 2023.
Student and exchange visitor visa fees remain unchanged at $185.
The SEVIS fee for F1 visa holders remains $350, which must be paid separately.
How Much Does a US Visa Cost from America?
If you're an Indian citizen applying for a US visa from America, the costs remain the same as applying from India. However, additional service charges, processing times, and procedures may differ.
For Indian passport holders applying from the US for a visa renewal, they must follow the process based on their visa category.
Is the US Visa Price in India Worth It?
Despite the cost, a US visa opens numerous opportunities for Indian travelers, including: ✔️ Exploring famous destinations like New York, Los Angeles, and Miami ✔️ Pursuing education at Ivy League universities and top US colleges ✔️ Building a career with a US work visa in high-paying industries ✔️ Expanding business opportunities in one of the world’s largest economies.
Final Thoughts
Understanding the US visa cost from America and visa price in India is crucial for applicants planning their journey. By keeping track of visa fees, additional expenses, and payment methods, you can ensure a smooth visa application process.

Here's my character commissions sheet. I can do landscape / architecture commissions too but those are less popular and harder to price so I don't have a sheet for them.
Additional notes:
If your character has a super detailed design I may upcharge a little, for example if your character has some crazy armored suit that makes them take longer to draw
I prefer payment through PayPal but I do have a Cash app if that's easier for you
My process goes as follows:
COLOR COMMS: I will send a sketch and if you are happy with it, then you can pay 1/2 the full price of the order. I will send watermarked versions of the finished product until you pay the remaining cost. Once all that's done, I'll send you a Google Drive link with the uncompressed image with variants as requested.
SKETCH COMMS: I do an up-front payment for these, once you pay then I'll start work on it and get it to you shortly.
No NSFW comms, if it's questionably suggestive then I might do it, just ask me and I'll let you know.
Delivery will take anywhere between 4 days and 2 weeks depending on the piece/ character. I will communicate an ETA, but if you have a deadline then I will do my best to meet it. If I fail to meet the deadline I will offer you a refund.
I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ORDERS! If I do not believe I am the right artist for the job I will tell you so. If I can't match a deadline, then I won't take the order. If I'm not too good at your desired subject then I'll tell you.
If you need a traditional paper artwork, shipping costs will just be tacked onto the commission price. Also know that traditional pieces are much more expensive due to the necessary materials.
I can draw:
Characters (male and female)
Dragons
Landscapes
Architecture
Most animals
From photographs
I CANNOT draw:
Mechas / mechs
Porn / NSFW
Layout designs
Cars
Furries / fursonas
If you want examples, just ask and I'm happy to share!

How to Get Money from a Closed Cash App Account?
If your Cash App account is closed, it can be frustrating, especially if you still have funds in it. Whether your account was closed due to a violation of terms or other reasons, there are ways to recover your money. This guide will walk you through several scenarios and steps to get your money back from a closed Cash App account.
How Do I Get My Money from a Closed Cash App Account If My Bank is Not Linked?
If your Cash App account was closed and you didn’t have a linked bank account, recovering your money may seem complicated, but there are still options.
1. Contact Cash App Support
Your first step should be to contact Cash App support directly. You can reach them through the app (if you still have access) or through their website. Provide your account details and explain that your bank was not linked when the account was closed. Cash App’s support team may help by arranging a refund through other methods, such as by sending the money to a different payment service or issuing a physical check.
2. Use Another Payment Method
If Cash App allows it, you can try linking a new bank account or debit card to your account, even if it is closed for regular transactions. In some cases, users are still able to connect a bank account for refund purposes, even if the account cannot perform standard functions.
How Do I Get My Money From Cash App That Closed My Account and Don’t Have a Phone Number?
If your Cash App account is closed and you no longer have access to the phone number associated with the account, recovering your funds becomes a bit more challenging.
1. Reach Out via Email
If you cannot use your phone number, try contacting Cash App’s support via email. Provide any information you can about your account, such as your email address, transaction history, and personal details used during sign-up. The support team may still be able to help recover your money by verifying your identity through other means.
2. Use Cash App’s Website for Recovery
Cash App provides an option to log into your account using your email address instead of a phone number. Visit the Cash App website and use this feature to gain access to your account and request a refund.
I Have Money in My Cash App Account, But It Will Not Let Me Cash Out to My Linked Bank Account. Does Anyone Know Why?
If you have money in your Cash App account but are unable to cash out to your linked bank account, there could be several reasons for this.
1. Account Restrictions or Suspensions
If Cash App closed your account due to suspicious activity or a violation of their terms of service, it may prevent you from withdrawing funds. This often happens if your account has been flagged for fraudulent activity, or there’s an issue with your linked bank account.
2. Bank Account Issues
If your linked bank account has been closed or there’s a problem with it, Cash App will block transfers to that account. Make sure that your bank account is still active and properly linked in the Cash App settings. If the issue persists, try linking a new bank account or debit card.
3. System Delays
Occasionally, there might be delays within Cash App’s system, especially if you are trying to transfer large amounts. In this case, it’s best to wait a few hours and try again. If the problem persists, contact Cash App support for assistance.
How Can I Get Back My Closed Cash App Account Urgently?
If you need urgent access to your closed Cash App account, follow these steps to try and recover it quickly:
1. Contact Cash App Support Immediately
Your first step should be to reach out to Cash App customer support. The faster you contact them, the sooner they can begin looking into your account closure. Be sure to provide any necessary verification information they request, such as your ID or proof of address, to expedite the process.
2. Verify Your Identity
Sometimes, Cash App may close your account due to incomplete verification. If this is the case, you will likely be asked to submit documents such as a government-issued ID. Make sure to complete this step as soon as possible to regain access to your account.
3. Follow Up on Your Request
After you’ve contacted support and submitted your information, be sure to follow up if you don’t hear back within a few days. Cash App may take time to process requests, but persistent follow-up can help speed up the resolution process.
My Cash App is Closed, How Do I Recover?
If Cash App closed your account for any reason, recovering it will depend on why it was shut down in the first place.
1. Request Reopening
If your account was closed due to a minor violation, such as too many login attempts or unverified identity, you may be able to request a reopening. Contact Cash App and explain the situation, especially if you believe the closure was a mistake.
2. Comply With Terms of Service
In cases where Cash App closed your account due to a violation of terms of service, recovering the account may be more difficult. You’ll need to work with the support team and ensure that you comply with their policies in order to restore access.
What Happens if I Send Money to a Closed Cash App Account?
If you’ve accidentally sent money to a closed Cash App account, the transaction may not go through. Here’s what typically happens:
1. Transaction Reversal
When a Cash App account is closed, it cannot receive funds. The system will usually automatically return the money to your account within a few business days. However, delays can occur, so it’s important to keep an eye on the transaction status.
2. Contact Support if Necessary
If the money is not automatically refunded within a reasonable time, contact Cash App support for assistance. Provide them with the transaction ID and details of the closed account, and they may be able to speed up the refund process.
Conclusion
Recovering money from a closed Cash App account can be challenging but not impossible. Whether your account was closed due to a violation of terms or an unlinked bank, the key is to contact Cash App support immediately and follow their procedures. Always ensure that your account is properly verified and compliant with Cash App’s terms of service to avoid future account closures. If you’ve sent money to a closed account, it’s important to act quickly to get a refund and resolve any issues.

Cash App Account Closed for “Violating Terms of Service” When You Only Send Between Friends and Family: What You Need to Know
Cash App is a widely used mobile payment platform known for its simplicity and convenience. Many users rely on it for transferring money between friends and family, as well as making online purchases. However, one of the most frustrating experiences for users is having their Cash App account closed for seemingly no reason, with the dreaded message: "Your account has been closed due to a violation of our terms of service." This can be perplexing, especially for those who primarily use the app for small, personal transactions. If you're one of those users, this article will help you understand why Cash App closes accounts and how you can resolve the situation.
Why Did Cash App Close My Account for “Violating Terms of Service”?
There are several reasons why Cash App might close your account. The platform operates under strict terms of service, and violations—intentional or not—can lead to your account being shut down. Here are some common reasons why Cash App closing accounts:
1. Suspicious Activity
If Cash App detects suspicious activity on your account, such as sending or receiving large amounts of money in a short period, unusual login attempts, or transactions from multiple locations, the system may flag your account for review. This often results in an account closure as a precautionary measure. Cash App's security algorithms are designed to detect potentially fraudulent activity, even if you're only sending money between friends and family.
2. Linking Multiple Bank Accounts
Another common issue leading to account closure is linking multiple bank accounts or debit cards to your Cash App account. The platform considers this a violation of their terms, as it can be seen as an attempt to circumvent limits on transactions. Even if your intention is innocent, Cash App may close your account if they detect this behavior.
3. Violating Transaction Limits
Cash App has daily, weekly, and monthly transaction limits. If you exceed these limits, whether for sending or receiving money, Cash App may flag your account and close it for "violating terms of service." Be sure to check Cash App's transaction limits to avoid this problem.
4. Using a Fake Name or Multiple Accounts
Creating multiple accounts or using fake personal information on your Cash App profile can also result in account closure. Cash App requires users to verify their identity, and discrepancies in your information may lead to account suspension or closure.
Cash App Account Closed Violation of Terms of Service Refund: Can You Get Your Money Back?
One of the most pressing concerns for users whose Cash App accounts have been closed is whether they can recover their funds. The good news is that in many cases, users can still access the money in their accounts after it has been closed. However, the process is not always straightforward.
1. Contact Cash App Support
If your Cash App account has been closed and you need to retrieve your funds, the first step is to contact Cash App support. You can do this through the app by going to your profile and selecting "Support" or by visiting the Cash App website. Explain your situation in detail and request assistance in withdrawing your remaining balance.
2. Refunds for Pending Transactions
If you had any pending transactions at the time of the account closure, they may be refunded to the original sender. For example, if you sent money to a friend but the account was closed before the transaction was completed, Cash App will typically refund the amount to the person who initiated the payment.
3. Bank Transfers
In some cases, Cash App may transfer your remaining balance to your linked bank account automatically. However, this is not guaranteed, and you should follow up with Cash App support to ensure you get your money back.
Cash App Account Closed: How Long Does It Take?
When your Cash App account is closed, the process of recovering your money or resolving the issue can take some time. The exact length of time depends on the reason for the closure and how quickly you can get in touch with support.
1. Typical Resolution Time
Most account closure cases are resolved within a few days to a week. However, if Cash App's investigation into your account activity is more complex, it could take longer.
2. Factors Affecting Recovery Time
Several factors can influence how long it takes to resolve your Cash App account closure, including:
The reason for the closure (suspicious activity, transaction limits, etc.)
How quickly you respond to support requests for additional information
Whether or not you need to verify your identity or provide documentation
How to Fix a Closed Cash App Account and Get Unbanned
If your Cash App account has been closed, it can be frustrating, but there are steps you can take to resolve the situation and possibly get your account unbanned.
1. Contact Support
Your first step should always be to contact Cash App support. Explain your situation and ask if there's a way to reopen your account. Be prepared to verify your identity and provide any necessary documentation.
2. Provide Necessary Documentation
In some cases, Cash App may require additional documentation to verify your identity or prove that you did not violate their terms of service. Be prompt and thorough in providing this information to expedite the process.
3. Appeal the Decision
If your account was closed due to a misunderstanding, you can appeal the decision. Contact Cash App support and provide a detailed explanation of why you believe your account should be reopened. Be polite and concise, and make sure to include any evidence that supports your case.

Cash App Account Closed: Violation of Terms of Service
Cash App, one of the most popular mobile payment services, provides users with the ability to send, receive, and manage money easily. However, there are instances where Cash App closes account due to violations of their Terms of Service. If your Cash App account was closed, it can be a frustrating and confusing experience, especially if you believe you've done nothing wrong. In this article, we'll explore why Cash App closed your account, potential reasons for violations of terms, and steps to take if this happens to you.
Common Reasons Why Cash App Closed Your Account
If you found yourself in a situation where Cash App closed your account for no reason, it’s important to note that there are several reasons Cash App might take such action. Even though it may seem random or unjustified, Cash App has policies in place that users may unknowingly violate. Below are some of the key reasons:
1. Violation of Terms of Service
One of the most common reasons Cash App shuts down accounts is due to a violation of their Terms of Service. Cash App requires that all users follow their strict guidelines. Engaging in any activity that violates these terms—whether knowingly or not—can result in your account being closed.
Common violations include:
Fraudulent activity: Engaging in fraud or attempting to scam other users will lead to a swift closure.
Suspicious transactions: Large amounts of money being transferred without verification or unusual transaction behavior might trigger a closure.
Use of Cash App for prohibited activities: This includes illegal activities, gambling, or selling unauthorized products and services.
Violating the age restriction: Users must be at least 18 years old to hold a Cash App account.
2. Multiple Accounts
Cash App closed your account for no reason might actually be linked to the use of multiple accounts. Cash App does not allow users to maintain more than one personal account, and creating multiple accounts with the same identification or payment information can cause the system to flag your accounts and ultimately lead to their closure.
3. Incomplete Identity Verification
Failure to verify your identity on Cash App is another potential reason for account closure. Cash App account closed due to insufficient information is common when users do not complete the verification process. Unverified accounts have strict limits on transactions, and attempting to exceed these limits without proper identification could lead to a temporary or permanent account suspension.
4. Violation of Cash App Bitcoin Policies
Cash App allows users to buy, sell, and withdraw Bitcoin. However, Cash App closed my account might be the result of breaching their cryptocurrency rules. For example, attempting to withdraw more Bitcoin than allowed or using Bitcoin transactions for unlawful purposes will likely lead to the shutdown of your account.
5. Unauthorized Access or Hacking
If Cash App suspects that your account has been hacked or accessed by unauthorized parties, they may shut it down to protect your funds and personal information. Cash App closed my account for no reason may simply be a security measure implemented to safeguard your data, especially if suspicious activity has been detected.
6. Chargebacks or Disputes
If you file too many chargebacks or disputes with your bank or card issuer after making transactions on Cash App, the platform may consider you a high-risk user. Cash App shut down accounts with frequent chargebacks to minimize potential losses from refund abuse or fraudulent disputes.
7. Using a VPN or Proxy Server
Cash App monitors users’ geographic locations to ensure compliance with its services. If you use a VPN or proxy server to mask your location, Cash App closed my account might be the result of this action. The platform could suspect that you are engaging in suspicious activities, prompting them to take immediate action to shut down your account.
Steps to Take if Cash App Closed Your Account
If Cash App closed your account for no reason, don’t panic. There are steps you can take to try to resolve the issue and regain access to your funds.
1. Contact Cash App Support
The first thing to do is reach out to Cash App Support. Explain the situation and ask for the specific reason your account was closed. You can contact support through the app itself by navigating to your profile and selecting the “Support” option. Be patient, as it may take time for them to investigate the matter thoroughly.
2. Verify Your Identity
If your account was closed due to verification issues, you may be required to provide additional identification. Submitting the necessary documents, such as a government-issued ID and proof of residence, can help to restore your account. In many cases, Cash App shut down accounts until the verification process is complete.
3. Review Your Transaction History
It’s crucial to review your recent transactions to ensure that none of them might have triggered the violation of Cash App’s Terms of Service. If you notice any suspicious transactions or charges that you did not authorize, be sure to report these to Cash App immediately.
4. Stop Using Multiple Accounts
If you’ve been using multiple Cash App accounts, be aware that this is likely the cause of the shutdown. To avoid this issue in the future, ensure that you are only using one account per person, as Cash App prohibits users from holding multiple personal accounts.
5. Wait for a Response
After reaching out to support and submitting the necessary documents, it may take some time for Cash App to respond and take action. During this waiting period, avoid creating new accounts, as this could complicate matters further.
How to Prevent Your Cash App Account from Being Closed
To prevent your Cash App account from being closed in the future, follow these best practices:
Stay compliant with Cash App’s Terms of Service: Ensure that all of your transactions are lawful and within the permitted uses of the platform.
Verify your identity: Complete the verification process as early as possible to avoid potential limitations or closures.
Monitor your account activity: Regularly review your transaction history to catch any unusual or suspicious behavior that may result in account closure.
Avoid multiple accounts: Stick to a single account to avoid breaching Cash App’s terms regarding account usage.
Stay within the limits: Be mindful of Cash App’s transaction limits and ensure that you don’t attempt to bypass them.

FULL STORY OF THE SAGA OF THE EXPLOSIVE PHONE AND THE ELECTRONICS STORE THAT TRIED TO GET ME TO COMMIT DOMESTIC TERRORISM! -
This is going to take a hot minute to type, so be patient
on June 18th 2024 I was out running errands, and picked up dinner, in doing so I overdrew the credit union account, I THOUGHT I had zeroed it out, but it had actually overdrawn.
I didn't find out until after the bank had closed, and since the 19th was Juneteenth (a federal holiday in the states) the CU was closed.
I THOUGHT I could sign the account up through Zelle and/or cashapp and just transfer money directly into the account, but Zelle continually failed, and cash app let me enroll it, but not transfer the money to the account.
Continually they said the issue was with the DEBIT CARD, not the account and told me to call the bank. I couldn't.
On the 20th, I woke up early enough to call the bank, and began the arduous process of verifying over the phone with my dad just so I could talk to them, and Zelle, and try to figure out why the everloving hell the zelle system said there was something wrong with the card and not letting me even sign up so I could transfer money into the account.
I spent four hours on this. Calling one, calling the other, being on hold. and NO ONE could fix the problem.
I repeated myself so many times I was tired of hearing myself. I got one person who said it was the carrier, so I had to call t-mobile, except it wasn't tmobile it was mint, and tmobile transferred me to aura and not mint, and finally to mint who said 'oh that feature is already unlocked on the account you need to call the banking institution or zelle.
On the final call to zelle, the new tech was refusing to accept the verification. and starts going through her little trapper keeper script of why she was refusing to accept the verification when we had all the answers all the info and had ACTIVELY BEEN VERIFYING FOR FOUR HOURS until this point when she says, off handedly during her script read (she was literally just reading the fucking bullet points, I could HEAR the pauses as she shifted line down) "Your account must have more than a dollar in it to enroll"
I spin, looking at the phone only to realize that the phone my dad is holding has expanded, and popped the back of itself off. And immediately begin internally panicking but externally I'm just being frustrated because THAT was the problem for the past four hours, not me entering info wrong, not the information being incorrect with the bank, not the debit card being mislinked, not a system error THE ACCOUNT WAS ALREADY OVER DRAWN AND IT TOOK FOUR HOURS AND WIGHT TECHS TO TELL ME THIS CONDITION?!
I tell dad to immediately hang up the phone and give it to me, I'm ready to rip my hair out and he thinks I'm going to throw the phone and kind of clings to it. I say, firmer. "Give me that timebomb NOW" and he goes 'what is the pro- what the fuck is that?"
I saiod "That is a spicy pillow and you need to give itt to me -now-. I'm taking it to best buy it should still be under warranty." "Yeah, yeah.." and he handed me the phone "When did that happen?" "When you took the phone out of the case to talk to zelle a second ago. It's blowing out, and It doesn't need to be here." "Yeah you go handle... this..."
I explain the zelle issue why it wouldn't enroll, and go get dressed, grab the spicy ravioli and run out the door with the idea that I'll go to the credit union two cities over, fix the overdraft and then take care of the phone return. While driving it's still expanding so I reprioritize and decide to return the phone first.
In my mind, this is a simple thing. I know the phone is under warranty, it has become a safety issue, their standard practice of "keep this and send it off" is not a viable option so it will HAVE to be a refund/in store exchange.
I know this because I've had to do this once before in the past. I know how their policies work, I know the standard returns but more importantly I know the severity of a bloated li-ion battery and how fucking important it is to get it into a safe disposal unit to be picked up by hazardous waste techs with a fireproof vehicle
I go in, at this point I am forwardly professional, I am not panicked, excitable or anything I have my mask of professionalism on and I'm all fucking business. I go to customer service and say 'I need to make a return but before that, do you have a fire blanket or fire suppressant for this fire hazard" and I gently set the phone on the counter. My only thought is to safely contain this ACTIVELY EXPANDING lithium battery.
She looks down, eye go wide and goes "I don't know let me check" and runs to the back, I hear from the back "We have a bucket of sand" and I retort "That will do, this needs to be contained immediately please"
They come get it, and take the potential fire hazard to be buried in the sand bucket. NOW we may commence the return process. I immediately put on the customer service interaction mask, and give them the information for the account, I joke that my receipt for the purchase had bleached out in the car (It had, I keep it in the sunglasses holder and it had legitimated denatured) and we agree that is why they have everything digital.
The CS says it's a rapid exchange in store for this, I said yay, that's actually really nice, because 'express' is not great. She agrees, and sends me to the mobile department, I say take all the time they need, I'll pick a new phone and confirm it's what my dad wants, and I know the paperwork is going to take a hot minute.
I confirm dad doesn't care as long as it's functional, so I pick out the same type, but updated model of phone (Moto G Stylus 2023 model to replace the 2021 model that is buried in sand in the back)
I talk to mobile, connecting with the associate over customer horror stories and the like while the new phone that he, customer service, geek squad techs, and two other associates and a manager have seen, agreed this is going to be an instore exchange because of the circumstances.
We begin setting up the phone and I realize the sim card is still in the bomb. I roll back over in my wheelchair to ask if it's safe to get the sim card. And they say they have to check the IMEI anyway and I bawk. We've already confirmed it's probably not safe to turn the phone on right now, and they say it's okay, it's on the sim tray. I didn't know that, good information. And I ask, cautiously, if it'd be okay to turn it on BRIEFLY so I can get only the login email on it to know which email my dad used for logging into google so I can get his contacts and account synched
the tech says "I don't recommend it" I asked if it would be okay to do so knowingly against advice to turn it on, get the info, turn it off and rebury the thing?
By now, it's been confirmed the battery is no longer expanding, and it's not actively leaking, smoking or heating up. We all agree it's a compromised cell within the battery but it hasn't been breeched, so it's safe-ISH to handle, briefly, but it shouldn't be agitated too much just in case.
I suggest removing the back fully so there's no pressure points. I'm ignored.
I get the info, turn off the fire bomb and hand it back, where it's taken back to what I assume is the sand bucket.
after a little while, the replacement phone is ready for login, I begin setting up the phone for my dad and logging in his information so it'll be set up and ready to go. They begin the return paperwork for the other phone.
At this point it's been about 45 minutes. It's been a smooth process where everyone was on the same side of 'we do not want to agitate the bomb, and Asrya should be leaving with a functional phone and NOT a fire hazard."
when they try to do the return, the SKU (sales identification number) comes up as dead meaning that the store chain doesn't carry that model any more, and the system won't accept the item as a return for cash, credit, or refund. It just -won't- . Initially, I tell them I've had to do this only twice before (I didn't mention it was spread out over like twelve years that I've been using this specific protection plan with Best Buy) and that they may have to store manager override it.
I've had to utilize this process before with laptops I had to exchange due to manufacture defects... so I actually do know how the policy works, the former general manager of the store had explained it to me YEARS ago.
So I tell them that it happens, and to take their time, I know it's a pain in the ass and I'm sorry I'm taking up so much resources, but it's really okay and as long as the end result is good, I don't mind waiting.
At this point it's 1 in the afternoon.
I've been at the best buy for an hour.
The manager comes up after a while, telling me that it's physically impossible. And I'm going to have to use the 'express return' system, it's the only solution that their system is allowing them to process.
I start getting frustrated, which means I start crying because I am fighting the urge to begin yelling. I've now been here for over an hour, I was in the middle of handling the situation and I NEED the phone in order to process the banking issue this all started with so my dad doesn't get charged overdraft fees.
I explain I can't wait a week for a new phone and what am I supposed to do with the bloated phone?
they explain this process, and get snippy telling me "It's 2-3 days not a week" I tell them it's 2-3 BUSINESS days "well... yeah" "This is THURSDAY, at the earliest it'll process Friday then ship out on Monday, if I'm LUCKY it'll arrive on TUESDAY at the earliest, and maybe not until Thursday of next week! During that whole time my dad's account will have overdraft fees being applied to it for each day! We can't afford that! On top of that you want me to pay a 70$ deposit just to do this! We do not have that money right now"
I was told I could apply for and use the best buy credit card.
I asked for a phone number to call, that there HAD to be an alternative solution, I said I didn't want to take the fire hazard home with me.
By now they had REMOVED THE PHONE FROM THE BUCKET and were walking around with it after me, trying to get me to take the fucking compromised battery.
I tell them to put that thing back in the sand bucket. And they give me 'corporate's number' a 1877 number. I ask if that's the number to call to talk to a supervisor or manager because this is an exception to the policy if ever there was one. If anyone would have the directions for overriding this dead sku problem, it should be the store manager's area or district manager
I am told there is no area or district manager.
I am FLOORED, I realize I've not been around this system for a couple of years but that information just... baffles me. I ask who THEY call when they have a situation come up that can't be handled in store.
They tell me they call the 1877 number.
I am BAFFLED by this, but I call the 1877 number, the call id comes up as 'best buy express kiosk" and I groan because I recognize this as the trunk line call center. I brace for and prepare to handle this for an hour. I am still trying to be as professional as possible.
I have now been here for going on two hours.
I roll out into the entry way, they CHASE ME with the fucking firebomb of a phone and ask if I'm leaving. I look back at them holding this fucking bloated phone and say no I'm just trying to get out of everyone's way so I can call the number and would they PLEASE put that thing back again and leave it in the safe bucket!
I spend the better part of hour three struggling to get through these customer service techs, explaining the situation and begging for them to transfer me to a manager or supervisor. I'm being denied this at every turn until I get to "returns" and am told to ask THEM for a manager by a tech who seemed to understand the situation and why I was calling.
I'm transferred, the tech listens, agrees that I should NOT be handed a firebomb to go home with, and should not be expected to ship a bloated li-ion battery in the mail and that it should be an in store return with store credit. I ask her to please explain this to the manager and go to remove my headset and put her on speaker so the manager can hear it from corporate
the call disconnected
I break
I begin crying, as quietly as I can, and the manager goes 'well' and I explain the call disconnected... I have to get back to that point.. and roll back into the entry way to begin the process again.
I'm crying, I just need this to work.
I've been here for nearly three hours.
The new tech that answers refuses to confirm the account and begins insisting I give my personal number and email to him. Refusing to accept the account information.
He puts me on hold. I call the corporate number again, merge the calls, and he has me on a mute hold. I get another tech that sound like the same guy, who also eventually puts me on hold, and then disconnects the call.
I'm sobbing and breaking down at this point, I'm having a panic attack, and struggling to maintain any type of composure at this point. I tell them I'm going out to my car so I'm not causing a scene in their store and is the manager positive there is no other option. I need to be leaving with a working phone, or at least I do NOT need to be leaving with a fucking FIRE HAZARD that they are expecting me to ship in the mail it is ILLEGAL to ship compromised batteries in the mail.
this fucking manager looks me dead in the face and says I can purchase a new phone to use, and just bring it back after the 'express return' is finished, or I can just do the express return, but there is NO WAY at all physically for her to do the return, in any shape, form or fashion, that I will have to take the fire hazard phone with me and ship it to their facility when the new phone comes in the mail in five days or so
I say I do not feel comfortable holding onto a FIRE HAZARD for a week, much less being without the ability to do the banking and is best buy going to cover the overdraft fees I'll be incurring and what am I supposed to do with a fucking bloated phone that could explode?!
Her solution? "You can go to walmart and buy a bucket and sand and put it in there if you don't feel safe with it, I hear that sand is good for batteries like this"
I snap... I just.. break down and begin crying because at this point I've been here for three hours, I know what she's suggesting is absolutely wrong, she's lied to me about not having an area/district manager, and she's standing over me like some fucking goon while telling me to take a BOMB home and then send it in the federal post in a week!
I break down, I take the stupid fucking bomb, they make me factory reset the phone I had been working on previously, I take the sim card, and I ask again if there is ANYONE I can call to talk to that will help. Who do THEY call when there's a situation because there HAS to be SOMEONE. They insist that nope, there's ONLY the 1877 number to the call centre.
I'm bawling, I'm broken, and crying I'm having heart issues, my head is screaming, my face feels burnt, and I roll out to the car and put the chair away. While unpacking the chair I realize I had actually put a pack of switch thumbsticks in the cart because I had been hoping to buy them with the leftover store credit I'd have when they all thought it was going to be a store credit exchange.
With my legs SCREAMING in pain, and barely able to walk, I limp back in on my crutches, unintelligibly sobbing and return the nearly-pilfered item, then go back to the truck. St this point I've set the phone on my driver's seat, I begin working on possibly loading the chair back on the truck when there's a loud, gunshot-like POP noise
and for a brief, horrifying moment, I think the battery has just exploded in my truck. Only to realize the heat had actually boiled a bottle of soda, and THAT was what had just exploded.
I'm determined, angry, frustrated, pissed, and petty... I don't want this fucking bomb in my possession, I know for a goddamn fact I am not supposed to have this bomb in my possession, I know that if it goes off and causes damages that best buy will be liable for it, and frankly, while the payout might be nice the inconvenience of having to deal with the damage, replacement, insurance, lawyers, and court costs and investigation are too much for me to handle. I don't want to go through it I JUST want a phone that works, the bank situation to be fixed and to NOT HAVE A FUCKING BOMB IN MY POSSISSION
I begin calling the useless as fuck call centre again, and for the next three and a half hours (totaling seven now) I continually try to explain, repeat, get transferred, sobbing, crying and getting hung up on by asshole techs. and I'm losing more and more composure as it goes on.
I FINALLY get a tech who says 'it should be store credit' I said I need the instructions on how to do that because the manager is claiming to not know how to do it. and I beg her to talk to the manager. Success. I go back in side, clinging to this tiny spider thread of hope that they'll fix it.
the manager takes my phone, asks if she can step tot he side, I say yes, and she comes back and they're both just repeating that the only solution is for me to send this bomb in the mail
I tell them it's ILLEGAL to send it, it's literally a federal crime. It CANNOT be policy to do this. None of them will budge. None will do the override, they're INSISTING I have to wait for a phone to come in, and then send a BOMB in the mail. I tell them this is probably why we've had mail trucks catch fire if they're telling people to do this it's ILLEGAL
The fucking manager says 'it's not actively leaking, it's not smoking or how it SHOULD be legal to send it in the mail' I ask for the salary person she mentioned. I go tot the mobile guy I'd been talking to six hours ago. I ask HIM to get me the salary person. This woman comes over and stands over me, arms crossed, with them angrily standing in front of me, arms crossed, like they're trying to intimidate me out of the store for trying to run a scam.
they continue to tell me there's no other option that they wouldn't spend six hours to tell me know they'd help if they could that I'm going to have to use the mail system.
I ask the salary manager who they call. She says corporate. I say that is horseshit. She gets offended and I clarify. That if their new policies is to call the call center number they gave me that is a horse shit policy and THEY are in danger of running into DANGEROUS situations like this without a way of getting out or around it. Who do I call to complain about that policy then?
"You can complain but it won't do anything to change the answer"
"Who do I call?!"
They give me no answer.
I leave
after seven hours of fighting with them. I leave, in possession of a fire hazard, my head pounding, feeling sick, having now gone through MULTIPLE break downs, melt downs, and panic attacks over the past seven hours of being on site trying to get them to do the right things.
I go home and explain to my parents what happened, I unload the tiny amount of groceries I'd picked up (twenty bucks of emergency cash) and realize how much bullshit it is what had happened. So I begin calling the local investigative news stations to see if they want to look into this.
One of the news stations is VERY interested in the fact this store told me to buy a bucket of sand to put a dangerous fire/explosive into. They're interested that the store can't be called with inbound calls, that there's apparently no area or district manager to call, that the store sent me home with an explosive and told me to send it in the mail.
I send the store to the news station. I call other stations, they're not as interested. That's fine. I'm advised to call the attorney general of commerce and leave them the story. I do.
June 21 2024 - I still need to correct the banking situation so I determine to drive to the bank, make a physical deposit with some change I have on hand to bring the account high enough to accept the cash app deposit I tried to withdraw two days before. And while I am in the area of the credit union, I'll go to a different best buy, explain what happened, and see if they give me the same answer.
The bank was thankfully open two hours later than I though, giving me plenty of time. They accepted the deposit, and I was on my way, I get to the other Best Buy.
The battery has expanded again by this point. But still no leaks, smoke, or active heat but I don't trust it, and moving it is a bad idea. I take it inside, I explain what happened and this store is absolutely horrified of my story.
I show them receipts of what happened. I explain their responses, their 'solutions' and their suggestions. This store's crew is just locked in abject horror that this happened. I explain why the other store wouldn't do the store credit and they say 'let me call my manager' and I tell them about how the other store told me there was NO area or district manager.
They look confused "Well he's kind of a roaming district manager, but... yeah... we have... I have a lot to tell Abby."
I breathe a sigh of relief. I was right, there's an area manager, and a roaming district manager... I wasn't crazy I did remember correctly how their policies worked... I tell them about the 'we call corporate' situation and how I was on the phone for 7 hours thereabouts, being hung up on.. they all continue to look horrified... at this point they hit the same dead sku issue, and I lament a possible repeat. They said they were NOT going to let me have that bomb back, we were NOT going to be sending it through the mail (one even said 'Isn't that considered like.. terrorism?!" and I agreed I was pretty sure it was. ) they said I was leaving with a phone they just had to get 'Abby' to tell them how to bypass this... and she did. In like.. five minutes.
"Is store credit okay? It'll probably have to be store credit" "YES! That's perfect, it means I can just get the phone and a new plan..." They help me find a phone they have (Moto G 5g 2024 model) and even with a new plan, I had 33% of store credit left over!
They tell me that phone is NOT leaving the sand bucket, and there's a brief funny moment of one associate holding up the sim tray (they'd used it to confirm the IMEI and confirm it was the phone under warranty) and the tech laughing and holding this tiny piece of plastic "This is probably the least problematic part of the phone"
I agree... the situation was handled, and I tell them I DID report them to the AG, and the news stations, and one of the associates goes "I'm REALLY surprised that store did that... that's the main hub store of the district, and he's on vacation right now but Roy, the district manager... that's his HOME store... I don't know what they were thinking" and I go "Roy.... Roy.... Mister Roy? Kinda tall, brown/black hair? Used to be the General manager of that store? THAT Mister Roy is the district manager?" "Yeah! He was the general manager there for a while." "Yeah about three0four years ago, I've met him! He's the one who told me about the way the protection plans work"
They all agreed he was not going to be happy, and any new friends that store makes from my reports were justified, they were glad I raised hell about the battery because it would have been a disaster if it'd gone off, and "didn't they know how dangerous these batteries are" and "why the hell did they send you home with that?" and me agreeing it was insane and wrong and just... feeling better to know I wasn't crazy in the way I knew the world was SUPPOSED to work.
So in the end - the banking situation was handled, I was able to get a new working phone for my dad, that did indeed transfer all information, contacts, images and everything over (for as evil as it's become, google synching system and account connections are INCREDIBLE for this exact situation) and I had enough money left over to get the switch thumbsticks I'd wanted to get from the other store... I still have some money left over. and they were cheaper than my local store.
the news station hasn't gotten back to me yet, but they may not until Monday at the earliest, but the situation is done at least, (largely) and the end was a good one.
and that concludes the epic saga of "Asrya and the exploding battery - and the store manager that wanted her to commit an act of domestic terrorism"
