Desperate for Help: Stuck in an Endless Automated Support Loop (Quest Cash Falsely Restricted)

Hello Meta Community and Community Managers,

 

I am posting here out of sheer desperation because the standard Meta Store Support system has completely broken down for my case. I am trapped in an endless loop of automated, copy-pasted responses, and no human agent is actually reading my ticket history.

 

Here is the factual timeline of my issue:

 

The Glitch & Refund: I recently experienced a known billing error where I was repeatedly charged for "Vegas Infinite" packs that the system explicitly stated were "No longer available." After a long investigation, Meta Support rightfully approved and processed a manual refund to my Quest Cash balance.

 

The False-Positive Restriction: The exact second the refund was credited, the automated security system flagged my account with "unusual activity" and restricted my Quest Cash wallet.

 

The Verification Loop: Support agents are now repeatedly sending me automated macros demanding that I verify my ID or add a credit card via the auth.meta.com/verify link to lift the restriction.

 

The Core Problem: My identity was ALREADY verified and approved by Meta Support during the investigation for the refund just weeks ago. In fact, when I click the verification link support keeps sending me, the system automatically redirects me to the language/settings page because the backend already knows my account is fully verified!

 

I have explained this, provided screenshots of the redirect, and practically begged the agents (Izzy, Sara, Walter, Mary) to simply read the account notes and escalate the ticket to a Tier 3 Billing Supervisor. Instead, they just keep replying with the exact same automated troubleshooting steps (e.g., "Clear your app cache," "Uninstall the app," "Submit your ID").

 

I have funds locked in my Quest Cash balance due to a false-positive system glitch, and support is refusing to manually override it despite the evidence on file.

 

Could a Community Manager or a real human please look into my account and escalate this to someone with the administrative authority to lift this restriction? I am fully verified and just want to access my funds.

 

Thank you for your time and any help you can provide.

    Hi Otvx.VR​ πŸ™‚

    I am trapped in an endless loop of automated, copy-pasted responses, and no human agent is actually reading my ticket history.

    Are you in contact with support via email?

    If so, try the chat or WhatsApp option. I think, it increases your chances of getting through to a real person.

    Meta support via email, chat or WhatsApp

    Hi Choleni,

     

    Thank you so much for the suggestion! I actually tried reaching out via live chat initially. However, because this is related to a "Quest Cash restriction and billing," the live chat agents always say they don't have the authorization to fix it live, and they immediately convert the chat into an email ticket.

    That is exactly how I ended up trapped in this endless email loop with agents just sending automated macros without reading the case history.

    I am really hoping an official Meta Community Manager here can see this, check my account to see my ID is already verified, and escalate this directly to a Tier 3 Billing Supervisor. The automated system is completely bugged for my account.

    It's very frustrating I'm sure. Unfortunately there are no Meta Community managers or employees here. The managers only work for Khoros who are hosting the forum. 

    Although you've done it already, maybe you haven't tried all the options on the link shared by Choleni​
