Payment question

I tried to sign up for a subscription yesterday. After I gave my info, card #, etc., I was flipped to a website called Webfyre.

Webfyre appears to offer games. So my question is: Do you use Webfyre for your subscription payment system, or was this some kind of intrusion on your website?

Webfyre already verified my Visa card by sending in a 0.00 payment request.

Please advise. .

Raw Story articles blocked on my gmail account

Raw Story appears on my gmail account several times a day. Recently certain articles are blocked with the notice "Bad Request". These same articles open on the Raw Story site with no problem.

Do you think Google is deliberately blocking/ censoring Raw Story on gmail accounts?

All I am getting is a bunch of jumbled ads

NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK.

RAW STORY ARTICLES ARE UNREADABLE AND A JUMBLE OF ADS. MY SCREEN KEEPS JUMPING AND THE ARTICLES CANNOT BE READ. I TRIED TO LOG ON AND GOT A RED MESSAGE SAYING MY PASSWORD WAS INCORRECT. WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT THE PAGE TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD WAS ON THE WAY AND I NEVER RECEIVED THE FORM.

THE TOP OG MY SYSTEM SHOULD SAY 'MY ACCOUNT' INSTEAD OF LOGIN BUT IT DOESN'T AND I CAN'T LOG IN BECAUSE NOW MY PASSWORD CANNOT BE CHANGED.

DAMN SOMEONE CALL ME. 859 288-****.

I purchased a subscription, forgot my password and changed password page is blank. The instructions I got do not work. I don't have proof of purchase but I'm sure you have it in your records.

Just a suggestion/complaint about CNN stories.

Updated by user Oct 31, 2024

I kept getting messages that let me know they received my complaint. But I never received a message that my issue was being answered.

Original review Oct 25, 2024

I truly enjoy Raw Story. However; like many others I am damn sick and tired of all the stories from CNN.

I have had enough of them. Pleas give us more stores from real journalists.

MSNBC Rachel Maddow, Nichole Wallace, Ari Melber, Joy Reid, Chris Mathews, Lawrence O'Donnell. Enough already with nonsense from CNN and their constant stream of right wing guests like Scott Jennings.

Poor communication

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Banned from commenting, no notification/explanation.

Attempted to contact, asking for clarification. Crickets.

Been 8 days now, one more day without contact I will close my account and go elsewhere. Neither of us will lose any sleep.
