12/8/23 Update:
I'm not 81, yet, as one response shared below, but I know when a group of people, or just a few, use a mob swarming on information they want to eliminate, as has happened here, they're almost always attacking something that is true.
Stealing and harassment are not appropriate just because you attach a mob to scare messengers. Ultimately, adults like being paid for their work more than they like fitting in.

I don't see many people benefitting by placing this warning signal on this website. What I will say is that I followed up with this company in the following ways. One scheduler was harassing me by refusing to cancel shops, resulting in harming my record. I responded to them and others and not only was my original email locked, but my PayPal address was too. And then I finally got in touch, through research, with someone higher up- much higher up. The result was another lie...
That may feel like a victory to one of the many people who showed up to mock this post about a month ago, but, trust me, it won't feel that way with money missing from your pocket after working for these people. And, with them, it is a repeating behavior.

(After my first post with the above title, "Beware...," was removed, I posted this)
Since my last email merging with this account was eliminated by the same persecution era treatment from said company, I will just have to repost to learn why this information was removed here:
I mentioned those schedulers by name, as I've seen others do it.
In short,
Their descriptions are horrendous in the actual shop guidelines, and, no, they don't even understand these themselves, but they will correct you on them.
Beyond that, they just refuse to cancel if you get one of these- shall not be named- schedulers.
Third, they will actively message you reminders, even though they will not allow a cancel if you get the wrong scheduler- who is protected here... Too bad for you shoppers. The shop log was used twice on two shops. Their preference is to let them expire. Communication and requests to cancel both shops was even done by email, as far back as a month before; with nothing but an active and successful spam labeling of your email to look forward to, this could be you.
I would like to post a discounted offer, actually a free offer for online shopping, It will likely be ____. (also not re-posted as of 12/20/23) These are the guidelines for this forum, the only ones provided. So let's see what kind of good sense the people have here. Hopefully, your warning for this company remains, or they could just do it to thousands of more people.

At my age of 81, I concede I have definitely lost some ability to comprehend. If anyone reads and understands the OP's message, please translate the paragraphs up to the pasted board rules section.
