Dear Course Hero Tutor Support Team, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request that my tutor account on your platform be reevaluated. I was recently notified that my account had been disabled and I believe that this may have been done in error. At least you can transfer my earnings to my PayPal. I request that my current tutor payment be...

Course Hero Tutor

Hello,

I have a coursehero tutor account. As you can see in the screenshot I do have more than 80 dollars in my account and I do have 100 percent helpful rate.

Then early this morning, I received an email from their support team asking me to send a video with my face together with my name and ID. I did submit this.

Then my account suddenly closed by them without explanation.

Desired outcome: Please help me recover my account and refund the money I earned.

Account permanently disabled without payment

Since 6 Jan I am receiving a mail of breaching the T&C and every time I just gave all credentials required so regain my account. I am not using any VPN or other account other than mine. Still, they didn't listen to it. Every time I asked about the specific issue because of which my account got closed. But even after this on 26 Jan, without any prior information, my account is permanently disabled without paying what I earned by investing all my time into the website. For a reputed company like yours, I mailed your customer support and it's been 7 days, no response from your side. I just want that the company should at least one time for sake of courtesy give me access to my account so that I can withdraw my money and then it is completely your reputed company wish to continue or not with me

Desired outcome: My earned money should be given

You will not actually get your money back. It appears that the system has been rigged so that when you reload the page while making a withdrawal, money is taken from your account and placed into the company’s account. As a result, the tutors are wasting their valuable time and effort while working for CH for free. It is abundantly clear from this that CH is stealing from you. It has happened to many tutors, including me, who have been affected by such a fraud. Due to a false allegation of a breach of their terms of use, the tutor support team permanently deactivated my account and the accounts of other tutors. The group has been disabling tutors' accounts and withholding their pay unfairly. The team is stealing from the tutors by restricting them from withdrawing their allotted funds. So, we are obliged to think that CH, including the tutor support staff, is engaging in illegal activity. A relevant judicial authority should be informed about the company in order to pursue legal action against it.

Please spread the word to let people know that CH is an active scam.

Dear Phil,

Why are you misleading the tutors who are being harmed? Just tell them the reality. Not all of us are ignorant. In reality, there are some of us who are smarter than you. We are aware that the tutor support team is working behind the scenes to commit fraud because of this. On the basis of unfounded allegations, intended to deactivate the accounts of many tutors and steal their money. This kind of con seems to have been going on since last year, and nothing is being done about it. You keep advising the impacted tutors to get in touch with the tutor support staff because they will be the best able to aid them, but you obviously know that they will not. It appears that you are in some way covering up the tutor support staff's dishonest behavior by working with them. Be mindful that your days are limited. You will not be outright lying to the impacted tutors the entire time.

Take note that you should not send out automated emails in response.

Best regards,

Hussein

Course Hero - Verification Error when Cashing Out

Yesterday, when I tried to cash out my payment, this error happened. When I copy pasted my phone number, I lately noticed that I did include the first digit of my number '0' why I got this error. I know I'm being lazy to type the phone number here, but freezing the account and not being able to cash out the fund is outrageous.

Now, Course Hero locked my account and unable me to answer questions anymore. And the pending $100+ cannot be cashed out anymore.

I already contacted the support but got no response up to now.

After I reach the amount that qualifies for a withdrawal, I am unable to withdraw my earnings.

When I can't withdraw my earnings because it does not exceeded the $20 amount, I can verify my number. But when I already exceeded $20, I suddenly can't verify my number and my account says I violate some regulations. Coincidence? Something fishy..

I already reached out to customer support but no one is answering my complaints, that's why I'm here. :)

Desired outcome: Make me withdraw the amount that I worked for!

Consistent sms verification failure

Greetings! I have been in CH for about a month. After gaining 24 USD I tried to withdraw it. However, it always appears that my verification SMS is "not passed". I entered the numbers correctly several times and then I got locked! This is really unfair on my part. I am working hard on this platform as a tutor, so I hope someone will help me withdraw my hard-earned money! This is disappointing.

Desired outcome: Unlocked account and withdraw tutor earnings

It seems that CH is conducting fraudulent activities behind the scenes. The issue is that many tutors report they do not get paid when the money is available for withdrawal. Such kind of cases are increasing now, and the tutor support team is not addressing the issue. The team is only focused on permanently disabling tutors' accounts for no other reason than to ultimately siphon their money. Hence, whether you like it or not, CH is indeed a fraud platform.

This is the highest form of deception. You must use the platform with extreme caution. Otherwise, working for CH without getting paid will be a waste of your precious time and energy. It is, thus, a contemporary type of slavery.

Tutor Account Temporarily Disabled

On January 24, 2023 my account was temporarily disabled due to alleged violation Term of Use, which I’m sure I did not do anything wrong. An email was sent to me telling me to send required documents and video for a possible re-enabling of account. I did it immediately but got no reply for any update. I have earnings to be withdrawn, and I cannot even receive my hard earned income. May you please help me regarding this? so I can continue to help students in solving their problem. Thanks.

Desired outcome: En-able my tutor account and withdraw my earnings. I want to be able to relogin my account using my registered course hero email address: ([protected]@gmail.com)

Tutor Account Disabled with Unpaid Funds

I received an email from the Tutor Support team that they have permanently disabled my account because they said I was “lending my account to others”. They asked for a 10-second video of myself holding my ID and a paper with my signature, the date and some random phrase to which I complied. I am the only person using this account. I am not sure why they keep doing this. I have already changed my password and made sure I wasn’t connected to VPN. I have $250+ of pending payments. Please give me back my money. I spent hours and days to earn this.

Desired outcome: Payment of pending funds and re-enable my tutor account

Tutor questions not going through after submission

You all are ridiculous I am making this complaint because you all stole my $24.99 I reach out to customer service nothing and no knowledge of the issue I am having. That's okay I can play games to anyhow whenever I go to submit a question to the tutors it stays stuck on the screen with the chat boxes and doesn't go through and these hard heads are emailing the wrong email info about my inquiry.

Desired outcome: I would like a refund or I will report this company and business to the better business bureaus and FTC.
