Customers losing access to their accounts or money

The wee raffle fella

Just had a look! :rofl:

Oh yeah I thought I recognised the photo.

The forum has obviously sent him crazy and delusional :crazy_face: :laughing:

Not against Facebook’s community standards apparently :neutral_face:

You can report the page in its entirety on a desktop - not sure about mobile.

Just click the 3 dots and then ā€˜Find support or report page’.

Thanks all, here’s what we’re doing about this:

  • Trustpilot - we’re actively replying to the 1* reviews with as much as we can say. And we’re working with Trustpilot to get more folks who’ve had a positive experience to leave reviews.

Ultimately, Trustpilot aren’t going to take down reviews that we don’t agree with (even if they’re completely made up!) so it’s a matter of simply getting more positive reviews to show a more representative picture. We can report posts that are derogatory (where people call us a scam, for example, we’re plainly not), but it’s a slow, manual process that feels like a losing battle most days.

  • The Facebook groups - I’m working with our Legal team to see what our options are. We’re not having much luck with the in-Facebook tools, and even escalating things to our Facebook account manager isn’t helping. We can’t just shut down a group because it has unhappy people in it, but I’m trying to make the case that it’s breeding harrassment of employees.

  • The Facebook posts - thanks a lot if you’ve reported any posts on FB containing personal info of our staff. Please continue to report any you see, but please don’t share the links here. We don’t want them going any further than they already have. Sadly they seem to be pretty haphazard about how they deal with these reports.

And I’m all ears for further suggestions.

Reviews you don’t like? Even if they are made up? One of them is mine and I can assure you it’s not made up. What sort of company are you?

I’ve edited this to be a bit clearer, I mean reviews we disagree with.

I’ll make sure someone replies to your review shortly!

You can tell some are blatantly fake, one guy sells his cars and boats for a new job he is starting somewhere new and moving yet a week before he posts he has no money and can’t pay for anything and is homeless.

Ok mate :joy_cat:

For what it’s worth, I’ve just left a positive review.

I don’t really put much faith in Trust Pilot anyway - but every little helps :slight_smile:

Oh let’s face it they are pretty much all crap reviews.

No story starts ā€œSo I put Ā£10 on my card and tried spending money in Tesco!ā€

They are all conveniently thousands of pounds from ā€œa mateā€ from ā€œa saleā€ and a ā€œtax returnā€ at the same time to a brand new account (funny that). Oh and they don’t seem to have ANY other bank accounts for back up or ANY other means of finances. So they put all their eggs into Monzo randomly.

Extra points if their rent is due the next day too.

Or apparently if they are pregnant.

Monzo’s problem on TrustPilot is quite an obvious one and it’s that it doesn’t have many reviews at all. It has almost half the amount that Starling has despite having 6x as many users. Monzo need to actually pull their finger out and start asking people to review them (and not just occasionally via social media).

There was a message from a Monzo staff member about 6 months ago saying that people are prompted to leave a TrustPilot review after a support request is resolved but this clearly isn’t happening.

With the current state of that I wouldn’t imagine they would get many positive reviews that way…

I don’t think the process Monzo used for soliciting reviews from customers worked terribly well, at least not in my case. I got a prompt to review them, but I dismissed it as I had opened the app to carry out an urgent task. When I did have time to write a review, the prompt was nowhere to be found, not in the activity field, and never appeared again. So, couldn’t write a verified review after all. :man_shrugging:

My general rule of thumb whether Trust Pilot, trip advisor or even Amazon product reviews is to ignore all the 1 star and 5 star reviews and see what we are left with. Usually gives an accurate picture.

Don’t forget if they can’t buy their baby nappies or they become homeless due to the fact they could not afford to pay to get to work so lost their job.

We’re still collecting reviews - any you see with ā€œverified orderā€ next to them are ones we’ve gathered via invitation.

We had to change the collection method a few months back, so it’s now after you’ve left an NPS review score, instead of after rating a chat you’ve had with us. But we’re hoping to bring back the latter way too soon!

For interest, here’s a graph of our ā€˜star distribution’ over the last year. See if you can spot:

  1. When we started collecting reviews
  2. When we stopped (and restarted)
  3. The day we asked our social media followers for a cheeky review

Hi Richard, did anything come of this suggestion I made?:

I don’t like that staff especially complaints and staff dealing with these sort of accounts have their profile pictures showing in intercom emails and chat.

It’s leading to staff being doxed on the groups and there was a post that has since been taken down where some guy was trying to get people to come with him to Monzo HQ to find and beat up a specialist.
