    @IceCream said:" You don't have to pay anything."

    Probably he works for fortacloud? Shill?

  • that company changes their mind every hour, and ticket used to be free, since i had a ticket replied and issue was resolved for free. However that was when the vps was forever free. Now not sure. This is how they modified a offer all within a month..

    1. free vps forever and one time verification fee 0.55 by paypal/ cc
    2. free vps forever and one-time verification fee is 0.91 if paid by paypal
    3. free vps forever with monthly verification fee of 0.55 / 0.91???
    4. free vps watever with monthly verification fee of 0.55/0.91 plus daily random volume charges.
    5. watever vps + additional $5 tickets.
    6. wait for the billing date to see the best surprise in store!!!!

    This company makes even the most random, sneaky, summer, LET providors look good who stick to their random prices they throw in here and even offer anytime guarantees ;)

  • Why is their client area so awfully slow??

  • Its over 1 month now, anyone got any invoice. For me they pushed my invoice date to end of this month, and the dashboard shows first week of September. So far no invoice for me yet..

    each ticket need pay $5 and payment fee first...

  • The fools at fortacloud can dream on and create as many invoices they can ;)) Anyone who bothered to add a real CC with them, you act now to stop sending any money their way.

    Before doing this you might want to do a bit of digging on foratrust. IIRC they were putting customers that owed them money on a blacklist, one of the many negative things I've heard about them.
    @ElliotJ said:
    These are the same guys as ServerPronto and Infolink.

    Do not order from them, look them up and you'll see why.
    @jeffreywinters said:
    Words of warning

    Fortacloud = Fortatrust = Serverpronto
    @William said:
    Do NOT trust Fortatrust/cloud/whatever in ANY WAY. Do NEVER give them any CC details.

    You've been warned.
    @Ruriko said:
    I don't recommend Fortatrust. Last month they had a promotion of giving 2months free for the vps so I signed up and never got the vps for waiting a week. I even submitted a ticket and it never got replied and they cancelled my account. So in the end they're a shitty company
    @Infinity580 said:
    Wait, why you would by a vps at a scam host with cc giftcard?

    Hilarious just DONT BUY that shit scam. Your guys getting to dirty cheap.

    @ztec said:
    Avoid at all cost.
    @TarZZ92 said:
    anyone who signs up with these guys is a moron. a quick search on google reveals the shady business practices.
    @Jeffrey said:
    Stay away, these are the same guys from ServerPronto, which has a very** bad** reputation.

    People tried to warn them and they continued anyway, they will learn to listen to others hopefully with this.

    Yolo man. I signed up for kicks and documented the entire process. Knowing that they're so nutty they'll probably sue me for not paying the $5 invoice that just came, I'm excited to see what they try. They gave me a free vps that stated on signup it would renew at 50 cents per month.

    Let the games begin! If they're counting on a bunch of helpless penny punchers to not make them regret their scamming, they will find the odds no longer in their favor.

  • the two tickets got no any reply until now, they have terminated my vps now, because I have not pay the two invoices, big scam...

    Don't worry. They can make money from selling your name, address, email and phone number.

  • Just found this:

    http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1307965

    1. Payments and Fees:
      Credit cards that are declined for any reason are subject to a $1.00 declination fee. Service will be interrupted on accounts that reach 10 days past due. Service interrupted for nonpayment is subject to a $50 reconnect charge. Accounts not paid by due date are subject to disconnect within 7 days. Accounts that are not collectable by FortaTrust will be turned over to an outside collection agency for collection. If your account is turned over for collection, you agree to pay the company a "Processing and Collection" Fee of not less than $50 nor more than $150. If you desire to cancel your account, please follow the proper procedure to do this as outlined in this TOS.
  • Where are those guys from? Why those **** scammers exist?

  • @Jar start a blog!

  • What is their phone number to cancel?

  • Looks like their website is down. Did they just scrap the project to start another scam that works.. or?
