What do you think about this Hetzner/OVH/LeaseWeb reseller? Legit?

It's interesting that they're selling Kimsufi servers for less than Kimsufi sells Kimsufi's servers....

birdie25 · January 26

In a live-chat conversation they told me they had some special discounts from OVH, als they order without VAT, which knocks 20% off of the price.

Damian · January 26

Ah, there you go then. That's hell of a price difference by percentage.

birdie25 · January 26

But yes, they have a very slick looking website, two business addresses, and live-chat staff who speak perfect fluent English, in good grammar. I'll report back when/if they setup my Kimsufi 2G

Neither of those are business addresses or legitimate.

I'm curious as to how they're evading VAT with a UK phone number

There's always dispute if something goes south

@yomero said: OMG Constantinos xD

lol, my first thoughts. :)
For those which don't know, Constantinos was HostFai... erm HostRail "CEO".

On a serious note this company address is somewhat fake anyway and belongs to "comprehensive team of highly professional lawyers, accountants and tax consultants based in Cyprus specialises in the registration of International Business Companies (IBCs) and Cyprus holding companies, formerly known as offshore companies." - http://www.registercypruscompany.com/contact/ and so is fake their .us "operational headquarters" address (3500 South DuPont Highway Dover, DE 19901) which belongs to http://www.incserv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=info.headquarter

edit.
Ah, @justinb already said that. Sorry.

birdie25 · January 26

@Spirit hmm, that company provides something like a business address for companies or something? I can't understand what they are doing. Same with the Cyprus company, they set up shell companies in Cyprus for you? I'm confused.

Spirit · January 26

Yes something like that I think. From what I understand you can register "virtual company" with virtual office.

prometeus · January 26

@birdie25 How did you find them?

Seems legit. It's not a fake address :P

It's also not THEIR address. In my eyes it's fake address because they stated it as own headquarter address while they use just some virtual service address.

Our operational headquarters are located at:
Simplistic Corp, LLC.
3500 South DuPont Highway
Dover, DE 19901
USA
We welcome you to send your letters and other relevant documents to this address.

Okay, it's not their address, but they allow correspondence to be sent there. I'll call that Incserv.com company and ask about them.

birdie25 · January 26

@Spirit i've just phoned INCserv.com, and they say that there isn't a company in the state of Delaware by that name. Odd

Spirit · January 26

Thank you for letting us know though it doesn't really surprise me.

You paid with credit card right? If so make sure you have no money in your account when you do a chargeback.

I've paid with PayPal balance.

Anybody else able to access the website?

@SSDNodes omg your site is so pretty. Who designed it?

Thank you! We did most of it ourselves, the logo was recently redone (old logo screenshot: http://www.lowendbox.com/media/images/ssdnodes.jpg)

Naruto · January 28

You should also do web design, then. Perhaps offer free templates to other providers but watermark like every-single-image with your site, haha.

DotVPS · January 28

@SSDNodes do you do design work or just your own site?

@Naruto That's a great idea, but my real passion is systems administration. Doing the design work was very tedious and I'd rather focus my energy on providing better service. If I had limitless time, I would absolutely consider it :)

@DotVPS Just for our site. Unfortunately web design is very tedious and requires almost as much work as developing an infrastructure :/

DotVPS · January 28

Okay then.

Naruto · January 28

@SSDNodes - Well, if you ever deadpool there is another market out there for ya'.

DotVPS · January 28

@Naruto you make some silly posts you know...

Did they ever finish provisioning your order?

Legendlink · January 29

From the looks of the topic on WHT, it was a scam.

Ah dang... that's pretty dumb; I think the chance of him actually getting any money with his scam is pretty slim. >_> Odd scam.

drmike · January 30

@AsuraHosting said: Common scam.

Fixed. You get used to these around here.

Dropped the address into google maps. Looks like a bar or restaurant.

Spirit · January 30

@drmike said: Looks like a bar..

Or barn.

This might be of interest to you if you did the design.. http://albahost.co.uk/. Might be ripped.

yomero · January 30

They got it from xprip :D

Don;t look like any barn I've even seen. Looks like some of the BBQ restaurants around here actually.

Spirit · January 30

@drmike said: Don;t look like any barn I've even seen.

Yeah, maybe but I was serious. I never saw such BBQ restaurants in my part of Europe and it really remind me on barn or abandoned warehouse but then again, building styles are different from location to location.
