Day 236 of San Diego

God. Damn. IMVU...

You know what happened to me today? Some serious bull... Yesterday, IMVU had a glitch with their emailing system. They sent me 13 emails containing the same message. In each email, IMVU gifted me 1,000 credits as a token of their apology for delaying my request on something I bought. At the time of the glitch, I thought IMVU was being generous. I guessed they were being generous because I've been an avid customer/player. I spent the 13,000 credits on a room, a few poses and furniture. I was hesitant, though. I wasn't sure if the 13,000 credits were legit OR were a glitch in the system. 

Well, guess what? IMVU realized what they had done and took away 11,000 credits from my account. It turned out to be -11,581... I have never seen a negative IMVU balance before until today. Really IMVU? You went THAT far?

I called IMVU to ask them (politely) what the Hell happened. The lady I talked to assured me that I was only supposed to get 1,000 credits, yet the system messed up. 

I was bummed! Thankfully, IMVU didn't snatch away the items I bought with the "fake" credits. 

In order to put the balance back to a positive number, I had to buy credits. I bought $15 worth of stupid credits and my stupid balance went back to normal. 

It was the first time I've been pissed to purchase credits.

I was also pissed over the fact that I had to add an hour to my chore list. $10 spent equals one hour of cleaning. I have a lot of cleaning to do... I'm finished with buying nonsense for a VERY LONG TIME.
