Apparently Shopper 5298, you have made a well strong point. How many emails should one have to send before getting acknowledgement. D/SM have proved to be negligent in resolving your issue. If it could happen to you, how many other shoppers is it supposed to happen/ed too?
It is only March, without too much hesitation, maybe a mysterious check will show up soon, for that/those shop(s) in December. Then I would close the case on SM and D. Identity is one of the virtues of this shopping game. Once an MSC outs you, it could become a payback issue (he said, she said------>your gone.) Unless those massage shops were a lot of money, you may have to chalk it up to --->lesson learned, never again.
If as, Shoppers, turn to the MSC and its staff to resolved a shopping/payment problem, whom do we turned to resolved a problem with the MSC?
Some MSCs want to know everything about you. It is a changing world.
