    Has any company you ever worked for doctored an invoice to keep an accidental overpayment? From an accounting point of view that is fraud.

    Reading and participating in that thread - lots of shadiness that could be explained or fluffed away. But that invoice... that's the nail in the coffin. That shows really what that business is about - defrauding customers.

    I think it was around 7 years ago I publicly proved they were dishonest and lying to customers, then they skipped out on burstnet avoiding HUGE bills, also very public and probably contributed to burst net's eventual bankruptcy.

    They continued to provide seriously sub standard service and showed time without number that they were not really interested in customers once they had their money.

    Yet people still continued to buy because it was cheap, I have no doubt people will still buy from them even after this, and people will still complain about the quality, and then people will again continue to buy.

    This will be nothing but a blip for them, they will rebrand and keep doing what they have always done.

    I assume all the people that read this thread and agree that they are very wrong for doing this will continue paying them anyway rather than cancel on principle.

    This is the low end market, they are amongst the worst of it which is why they will probably always prosper.

    Sigh reading comprehension is truely a lost art.

    Nothing in my post is in reference to any of the events mentioned. Other then saying most companies have accountants that will not cut a check or voucher for an amount of money that is not yet showing as being received by the company.

    As for VD I thought they had already crashed and burned.

    You can refund Paypal without having those funds in your bank account, just hit the refund button in Paypal and Paypal reverts the transaction and even does not charge you any processing fee for the original transaction.

    It would have been easy to refund.

  • Paypal the company that refuses to remove an bank account my ex closed three years ago. Plus keeps trying to take money from the closed account?

    It was so weak that it nearly didn't exist. "Oh we bound a ton of stuff together and didn't know it'd do something that there's no ability for it to do oops sorry how about a year of free service lol?"

    That sums it up pretty well.

    Shoes must really be in high demand.

  • Don't give the shoe guys ideas! Please just don't.

    Never thought much of vd even before the Burst fiasco.

    What did you guys expect anyway? Its the same company that ran off from one datacenter without paying bills and stole customers colocated hardware in the progress? Even this one server in the case could be stolen hardware for all we know.

    Can someone just steal hardware from a datacenter? I mean customer colocating there can also access - shutdown or do other shit with other customer's hardware?

    Who do they think they are, stealing Prout's niche!?

    I actually meant can they access other hardware or there are some locks on racks etc?

  • @jetchirag said:

    That depends on the DC. Some are "open", meaning that everyone has access to ethernet and power. Telco racks are common for this. Generally, all removed hardware needs to be signed for, though.

    So your post is completely off-topic then? Why is it even in this thread? You realize we are talking about VolumeDrive/Quadix fraud right? There is no defense of what they did.

    Sigh reading comprehension is truely a lost art.

    Indeed that's something you could probably develop better for yourself.

  • It would be awesome to see actual prosecution for fraudulent activities. Falsification of invoice, false statements to avoid PayPal chargeback.

    Thanked by 1jiggawatt
  • OK

    1. VD + Fraud anyone that has been around for a while will probably agree with that.
    2. The nothing in my post comment was referring to your assumption that I was defending them and you bringing out the invoice as proof of your point. See 1. for the fact we both agree n this.
    3. I merely commented that of all the things against them I can see a delay before refunding to keep the bean counters happy.

    Jesus that’s disgraceful - surely that warrants a ban from LET too?

    I called @jbiloh on it in the cest pit based on his own words. I'd hope so - https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/2384276/#Comment_2384276

    Why would you ask Jon? @Jarland runs LET.

    Aye, I know I'm really busy but this is stuff I can do from my phone while doing other things. Someone remind me their current username here.

    Are we all in agreement that the invoice is from quadix and not likely doctored by the customer?

    Make that the minute after you tagged them, lol. And yes @jarland, in agreement - their last act was to offer a free year of services to the guy before WHT banned them.

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    @volumedrive Since you're logging in, have any statement on this?

    (I haven't fully read the WHT thread, but figured you guys might enjoy a post by them before I hit a button)

    It's well worth it, if only for the gall and eventual "Oh fuck hope we get away with this" with an offer of a free year of service. That's like someone picking your pocket, getting caught, then offering to be your security guard.

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    I waited 20ish minutes. Good enough.

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    About time they get the ban on WHT and here. This guy has pulled off pretty big scum before on BurstNet.

  • Who wants to bet $7 that they will be back in less than a month under a different name?
