New temp ban only post here!

[jado6704]

Can confirm using only pokeadvisor and IV re-namer was enough for main account to get banned. Have started the chargeback process.

Other botted accounts also banned.

lol niantic commited public suicide, banning people for using pokeadvisor?? never go full retard plz.
their investors and partners are gonna cry themself to sleep seeing all the chargebacks and player base die in a matter of weeks.

Got ban on main and sub acc but its ok. The game was fun initially and i walk over 20 000 steps for the game and spend some cash on it.
But **** the game for failing to stop the spoofer much much earlier. Game was release in batches. Spoofer who cheats already has unfair advantage right from the start of the game. When the game officially launch, they took over gym immediately and collecting coin easily spoiling the game. New gamer was trash immediately. This really piss me off even though i tried to play it fairly.The only way to play fair was to spoof and bot my way through to get some revenge back on those who cheats.
In addition, why should there be regional pokemon such as mr mine, etc... All pokemon should be release and not restricted to certain region. Its just crap.

I was just about to ask about this. Thanks for sharing.

I've started over again spoofing via Xcode. It's a lot slower than botting, but much safer I think.

new account banned ;0 walking speed set at 3km/h had the bot running for 3 hours

how do you charge back.

[cursedinsanity]

how do you charge back.

Get your cash back - Chargeback

Did you reply to the original ticket? If you did it creates another ticket and closes the first one. Check the next one you got and view that ticket. It will say open with a diff number. At least that's what happened to me. Issue not solved just the first ticket. I saw that yesterday after almost losing it.

I don't believe for a second that anyone is actually reviewing the contested bans over at Niantic.

I am sure the process is seeing if the account is flagged and if so then they mark it as a valid ban and they move on. They probably are not reading your statements nor doing any detailed investigation.

With accounts in the millions, and bans likely to be in the thousands if not hundreds of thousands, good luck expecting anyone to look and review your objection.

Any one got any success getting back?

I honestly don't think anyone really has. There's thousands and thousands of people and nobody has a story except the very few which, in my opinion, isn't telling us the whole story (low rez pics, not much detailed info, etc).

Just had a few friends get banned today finally. One didn't bot at all, just pokeadvisor, and 2 others did bot real quickly one night. They haven't touched a bot in 3-4 weeks easily. And they just simply tried it one night for a bit. Such a shame. Spent HUNDREDS on incubators and max slots, etc. Gonna go get their money back now. GG Niantic. Hope you go downhill for not at least answering your emails and not letting an automated bot (lol) do your bans.

So what do we know so far?

*IP bans - Friends connected to my network all got banned
*Device ID bans - Friend who rarely plays logged in on my phone (since their phone is a nugget) while we were out for lunch and two days later they were banned
*Bans by just reporting - Friend laughed his ass off at my accounts getting banned, for shits and giggles I reported his level 20 account a dozen or so times and today his account is banned
*Bans for progressing too fast - Relatives gf works in a cafe in the city and sits behind the counter collecting from 3 pokestops nonstop, now suddenly banned (or maybe she was victim of IP ban?)
*Bans based on consistency (consistent actions get you flagged) - Tested bots on work laptops on different networks, trying with different settings. Also tried Nox, Bluestack and Android Dev emulators - All banned

My ticket is still opened... maybe there is hope? I sent them so many pictures and screenshot of my fitbit tracker, mapmywalk app, pictures with my daugher, the exact coord's I would play at specific hours on work days....

this was my appeal


Yesterday at 20:04
I havent been able to log in my account for days! I keep reading on the internet that its a perm ban. I was level 27 and playing since the first day it came out with my 12 year old daughter almost every single day. After work around 2pm until 9-10 a night. She has a level 24 account with she cant log in either. The last time I played was the day before It stopped working. On my days off, we traveled to Montreal (about 1:30 hr) drive and my app was opened so my husband could catch any pokemons on the way or pokestops on red lights, but on the way I got ALOT of warnings that i was going too fast. Couple of hours after.. my account doesnt work. I can give you all the locations I played every single day with my daughter LEGIT! and there is a gym right next to my work.. I start at 6am.. so at 5:30 am I would go battle the gym to place one of my pokemons there before work so I would make 10 pokecoins every morning.

The lock of that gym is about -74.3333888053894 and 45.65621293592393
My work is around -74.33201551437378 and 45.65664787908123

There is a pokestop at the post office right NEXT to my work that if I put my iphone in the right place I could loot all day while working.

Every night we took the same walk road wich i put the map in this attachement
I also send you a screenshot of the day we went to montreal.. took pictures in the morning and took pictures later in montreal.. so I was REALLY driving there and not cheating with some type of application.

For 3 weeks in a row we went there SPECIALLY to play because in the old port of montreal there are about 1000 time more pokestops then the small town i live.

I am also sending you pictures of us playing.

My daughter is pretty sad that our evenings after work are ruined by the fact that you think I cheated... why.. because I DROVE from my town to Montreal with the app opened?

Please help me.. if this is a server issues please let me know... if you banned me because you think I was cheating.. please recheck everything again and take a moment to look at all the proof that I was really driving to Montreal and not cheating.

Please.. I really dont want to start over.. thats a whole month worth of walking.

Another thing.. is that I used to walk before the game came out.. because im on a weight loss program.. have lost 100 lbs... and I would use a fitbit tracker to track my walks and the app called mapmywalks and post them OFTEN my facebook... 20-25 and even 35k steps a day playing pokemon go... ill send you a picture attached also.

They asked me in the request what device i logged on. Mostly my iphone, but also on my samsung tablet and logged in on my husbands phone once to show him how the game worked.

Anyway... at least ticket is still opened... im crossing my fingers..If i would of cheated that would be one thing... but to take aways something that me and my daughter had so much fun with and would do together everyday.. that sucks big time.... we took so many pictures and after each hunt we would print some and had started a scrapbook about our pokemongo adventure.... i swear I wont let this go without a fight!! Specially for my daughter... im like a mommy lion in a cage when it comes to hurting my daughters feelings or making her sad

[Roadwarriors]

I really hope you get yours back. Congrats on the steps. Been there and lost 150lbs a couple years back and kept it off. If you dont get it back this company is doomed. I would go to the news in your local town.
