GetHuman3806575's customer service issue with Rakuten from October 2019

Help with my Rakuten issue
The issue in GetHuman3806575's own words
I was sent a deceptive email by Rakuten, telling me that I had $**.**, and asking whether I wanted it paid by check or via PayPal. I was required to sign into my account to choose payment method. When I logged in, I was required to change my password and wait for a verification email. When I finally managed to log in, my cash balance was zero. The original email was clearly a scam, as I had not visited the account in four years. I want to delete my account, as this company cannot be trusted. I cannot find a way to delete my account on the site, and I have been on hold with customer service for fourteen minutes so far.

GetHuman3806575 did not yet indicate what Rakuten should do to make this right.

I have an issue with Rakuten too
How GetHuman3806575 fixed the problem
GetHuman helped me in no way at all. GetHuman made the call, and after being told every ** seconds that estimated hold time was two minutes, after ** minutes, I cancelled the GetHuman robocall, and called the number myself, and was connected with a person within a minute. I'm sorry I wasted my time waiting for the GetHuman robot to connect my call. I will not utilize this "wonderful free service" again. I was able to delete my Rakuten account over the phone in under one minute, once I called the company myself.
