I had a Garry's Mod server on Linode for a while. A player was upset they were banned and reported my instance for DDoSing them. Linode rate limited my node.

I replied to the ticket saying, "How am I DDoSing someone when the bandwidth/packet-rate graphs you host show I am not?" to which they acknowledged it was a false report, unrestricted my node and closed the ticket. Not a big deal but still odd that they did not first check their own bandwidth graphs. That to me appeared to be a front-line customer support training issue.

I should add that the player was really upset that their exploit code could not crash my server. It happened a couple times so I found the packet that took it down and used a simple iptables string filter to drop it. That is when they went with the false reporting tactic.
