As the title says.

When I contact support in my country and mention the issue and a refund of my stolen money they hang up the phone.

adobe support will disconnect if you become abusive, or they've explained the reason something was done and have no more to offer.

Everytime they tell me I should stay on the phone while they sort things out for my refund and they go absent. Everytime. And no matter how long you wait, they will not come back. 

Are you assuming I became abusive, or they've explained the reason something was done and have no more to offer? If so, this was not the case.

these are user-to-user forums. i have no idea what you do on your phone calls.  i was stating what could explain the disconnects. but that was before you made it clear these are accidental disconnects.

 

if there are obvious phone glitches, re-try contacting support, and at the beginning, ask the support person if there's a way to continue the conversation, in case, there's another disconnect.

 

or, even better, use chat (which gives you a case number, in case of disconnects):

 

use a browser that allows popups and cookies and contact adobe support by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-com....

p.p.s. you can also use twitter to tweet @AdobeCare.

Thanks for your reply.

 

They go absent from the phone everytime the refund comes up. After many phone calls of different employees doing the same thing. They are not phone glitches, they just go absent, everytime, at the same point of the conversation. I even asked them to please not go absent this time and they go absent.

the implicit message is there's nothing they can do.  but i think it's rude to do that. 

 

if i were in adobe's position and there was nothing that could be done and i wanted to terminate the discussion, i would say "i'm sorry there's nothing (more) i can do. i'm going to disconnect now".  then disconnect.

 

try again, using chat.  that way you would have a record of the conversation.  you could post that conversation here and we could get a better idea of exactly who is saying what to whom.

Johan, I am sorry you are encountering problems canceling your membership.  I reviewed the account you used to post to this public discussion forum, and I don't see an active membership or any recent interactions with our support team, including via chat.

 

If you have questions about your recently canceled Illustrator membership, then please use a different device to contact our support team at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen 

 

If you need to cancel your membership on a different account, then see https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-subscription.html for information on how to complete the cancellation process.  Make sure to log in under the account associated with that membership if you have questions about the billing or canceling the membership.

Hi Jeff, 

The fact that you don't see an active membership does not mean much for me, as I have still been charged. I'll contact the help you suggested and if that won't help I will ofcourse issue a chargeback via my bank.

if @Jeffrey_A_Wright (and adobe employee) didn't see an account, that means your screen name doesn't match an account screen name. 

 

if your screen name now is the same as the screen name associated with account you cancelled after 4 days, it means your credit card has been compromised, and you don't just have an adobe problem.  you need to notify your bank.

 

otoh, if @Johan26447771wqjm might not be the same as the screen name associated with your trial, then you should post the screen name you did use.

Hello,

I only have 1 email address registered with adobe. In that email I also received my confirmation of cancellation. It is the same email address that I use to login to reply to your message. 

 

My creditcard compromised? Again you seem to like making assumptions. You really think somebody would compromise a creditcard just to buy a trial of adobe and then cancel it? For what exactly?

 

The fault lies with Adobe and if they don't want to do anything for me at all, I am forced to make a chargeback. I am dissapointed in the service of an otherwise fine company.

My order

My cancellation confirmation (4 days later).

then you have no adobe account (or @Jeffrey_A_Wright made an error).  ie, you successfully cancelled.

 

did you ask support if your refund is being processed?  (ie, it's not instant.)

@Johan26447771wqjm to open the chat, your browser must allow cookies and popups.

 

if you have trouble setting your browser, try a different browser.  or use phone or twitter.  (but if you use chat, you'll have a written record of the exchange and possibly @Jeffrey_A_Wright can see that exchange.

 

but first, can you answer @Jeffrey_A_Wright's question.  what exactly were you doing (or using) to contact adobe?

 

(i believe he's not only trying to help you, but also track down where the problem lies that required so much of your time and effort.)



phone: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

twitter: tweet @AdobeCare

A pop-up window shows up in the bottom right-hand corner of the page, Johan.  The browser settings or security software is likely actively blocking you from contacting us.

 

The experience available at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen works on desktop and mobile devices.  Additional contact options are listed in the chat window if you want to contact us via telephone.

Hi Jeff,

There is help chat pop-up opening anywhere, I don't have an ad-blocker on.

I have talked to Adobe on the phone already and everytime I mention a refund they go absent. Everytime. 
It seems like there is nothing you can do for me. I have been charged a second time now, even though I don't even have a subscription. So that will be 2 chargebacks. And if you don't sort this out, I will have to keep making a chargeback every month.

again, use a browser that allows cookies and popups.  use a different browser if you can't figure out how to change your current one.

 

or use the phone (again) or twitter.
