I ordered flowers for my daughter for Valentines day on 10 Feb 2011 through a promotion on Zynga’s YoVille game. I was “suppose” to receieve 100 YoCash through this promotion. I DID NOT get the YoCash and after sending them the order, payment and delivery confirmation information they are telling me I will NOT get the promised YoCash because I used a promo code for a free vase while ordering. NO WHERE did it say you couldn’t use another promo code, as a matter of fact there was a slot to use a promo code when ordering. Not only that ProFlowers didn’t even deliver the card with the flowers! My daughter had to call everyone she knew to find out who even sent the flowers. If I had known I would NOT get the YoCash I would have ordered flowers locally and the cost would have been dramatically reduced!

Below is the email I received from Zynga on 25 Feb 2011:

“We have contacted the Advertiser of the Proflowers offer you have reported (see Offer details below) in order to manually confirm this offer has been completed. Unfortunately, we have been notified by the Advertiser an external promotion code was used at completion and therefore we are unable to credit your account for this offer at this time.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
Jenny”

The above email didn’t even have a reply address, when I clicked to reply to the email the address area was blank! I have emailed them several more times, using the address from an earlier correspondence, and have even requested someone in charge contact me but have yet to hear back from them.

Yes, I’m mad, they definitely “know” I’m mad but the reason I’m telling you this is because if Zynga will lie to me about a promotion they will lie to you also.

Zynga is a fraud, people are paying ‘REAL’ money for pixels they will NEVER own. Please think about this the next time you pull your wallet out to buy anything from Zynga. From now on if I have any extra money I would prefer to play the lottery, at least the money spent on a lottery ticket is doing some good and not just lining a frauds pocket.
