FRAUD ALERT: Financial theft and retaliatory account bans!

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. Tinker (Aventura Mobility, LLC) is a deceptive platform. I was double-charged for a service that never connected.
Despite their own support team confirming in writing on June 11th that my refund was approved, they never processed the funds. When I demanded they honor this commitment, they retaliated by suspending my account without cause, claiming a "violation of terms." This is a classic fraud tactic: take your money, provide no service, and ban the customer to hide the evidence when they fight back.
They are holding my funds in bad faith. I have already escalated this as a formal case of merchant fraud to the Attorney General and the FTC. If you value your money, stay away. This company is running a fraudulent scheme.
