I  sent in my ID i got an email back said they accepted the ID and i should be able to log in. Once i try to on the headset it  asking for a device code. then when requesting one says "an error has occurred please try again" i contact support they tell me my warranty is out of date and  to buy a new one.  So now  I have a headset which doesn't work and they have my photo ID . Is it me or did the company just trying to scam me into buying a new one?

I've been in contact with customer support. They have assured me that  "they did not break anything" and that " my warranty has expired" so  there's  nothing that they are willing to do to help me. I requested a supervisor to see if i can't more information  and I was told "ill notate that on your account" then disconnected the chat.  Ill try the link you send me. I hope it helps. nobody else ive spoke to has .

Hello there! We see your PM, and we will reach out to you shortly so we can continue to look into this for you!
