i paid these ediots via egold and wanted to host a site and these ediots took my money stating that either i provide them with my passport or id copy or else consider the money gone.
LMAO.. what a joke..
stay away from these ppl..

thieves of the first order..

egold is un-refundable. look like your money is gone for good.

well its not unrefundable. if it was a large transaction than i would have taken them to task,
but its not worth it to fuss about 34 dollars.. i just came here to tell people about such scammers

just that this is the third co. whom i sent money to and they took it
the other two did not even have the audacity to reply back to me

amian, why didn't you address to more reliable and well-known companies. I consider you'll pay more than 34$ but not for nothing. A greedy one pays twice.

All we did is ask the guy to confirm his contact information as his account details included a phone number which was wrong and the address was obviously made up also. Not to mention he used a yahoo email address.

We sent him the following email as a result of the fraudulent signup attempt....

"Your web hosting package has not been activated as you have not provided your correct contact information.

Now amian, i would never advise you to make your transactions thorugh e-gold because first of all not all relaible and genuine companies accept it or it is not a safe method either as in your case.

Now i believe its high time to change your transaction actions, and the best mode of payment would be paypal,credit card or through 2co.

But at the same time, take these frauds for a task. Because of their drastic activity will affect the genuinity of a reliable cpmpany.

I see no point in keeping this thread open. The OP has an identical thread at webhostingtalk.com about this issue. Closed.
