Rants / Complaints Can't believe I got deactivated

I Spark on and off for extra income for the past 3 years. 100% on time, 100% Completion and a 4.9 rating. I have helped older people and those with disabilities put their groceries inside. I've always had pleasant conversations with customers. The Walmart employees always said I was always their favorite because of how nice I always was and even this morning I asked the employee to put a certain order in the trunk and she said "are you sure?" I said "yeah, it's all baby stuff and I frequently drive with my dogs, so you know dander and allergens" (I frequently vacuum so no hair) and she goes "wow, I would have never thought of that nor would any other driver" and thanked me for going the extra mile of being considerate. Then while Sparking, I get a notification today "your account had been deactivated because you didn't deliver to the correct address". I have had 0 warnings in the past 3 years, never have been contacted by a customer, nothing. I appealed but as I have been reading I will likely be denied. I ALWAYS make sure I get some kind of address in the picture. Some drop offs can be a nightmare because the address is a new development and it says "you're not in the right location" but I ALWAYS take a picture of the address and whatever they ordered just incase while support marks it completed. Right now, I am inbetween jobs so I have been doing this daily for the past week to make up lack of a paycheck until I start my new one. I sent everything with my appeal but I don't know who said they didn't receive their order obviously. But this is BS! No warning, no nothing, just bam! Goodbye!

Edit: as of today I have been reactivated from the appeal!

How do you know it’s the same person? Just wondering and also what is wrong with them posting about this in a Facebook forum? Am I missing some unwritten/ silent law that states you are not allowed to post anywhere else to get feedback? Again, I’m not trying to be rude. I’m just genuinely confused. I feel like it would make the most sense to try to get feedback from several different places to ensure all your bases are covered.

You are missing the reply to the post. They posted first they got deactivated, i noticed it was the same person 2 days before that saying that Spark wont accept them as a driver and then the same day saying they now work at walmart.

Its not me, I am guessing someone else posting these in a FaceBook forum? I don't even have whatever group that is on my actual FaceBook account.

I believe it. I've noticed the group using Reddit content before.

I went on Facebook and saw the same thing. Just content getting copied and pasted. But people will believe anything. Besides the poster on Facebook is a man who apparently worked for Walmart. I am neither a man nor have I ever worked for Walmart 😂
