    It actually is.

    Stupid idiots copied their DEAsoft article that was the same on AR whmcs announcements.

    I opened a ticket with PSK Hosting, I can no longer login to provide my original inquiry to them but it was basically, why do you have my data, and what personal data do you have of mine. This was their reply.

    I have updated OP to be more clear about the current evidence instead of me ranting about spam, so I think it could be potentially useful as a sticky now (but I don't care either way since I think everyone who would read the post would likely already know not to trust them).

    They really are clever, I fell for it completely, I just assumed it was some pre-existing provider who made a dumb decision x.x

    But to be fair I was mostly mad about continuing to receive these marketing e-mails.

    "Unfortunately the information we received from the owners was fairly vague and nothing more than a quick export" of all the clients' data.

    More lols: wayback machine indicates PSK Hosting website didn't exist as of August 6, 2018 [1], yet they backdated a WHMCS announcement to 8 August 2018 about migrating EXISTING customers to OpenVZ 7 [2]. They're just pretending that like they have been around for longer than in actuality.

    Yes, in retrospect it was obvious but most of us missed it. In their closing down email they listed several hosting companies to try - we should have been looking for the "ringer" on the list.

    https://www.dictionary.com/browse/ringer

    Slang.

    a racehorse, athlete, or the like entered in a competition under false representation as to identity or ability.
    any person or thing that is fraudulent; fake or impostor.

  • mr0xbmr0xb Member

    @kmas I looked at Alpharacks TOS and Privacy Policy (available via wayback machine) and niether mention transference of customer data or a "transfer clause" lol.

    I submitted a new ticket since they closed the last one, will update if I get anything good or humorous.

    Haha, they even included an affiliate link, for their own website!

    My two ar accounts still magically don't exist in PSK.

    It's obvious it's AR staff still..

    @ITLabs

    This $14.00 credit was due to paypal auto payment from a service that was cancelled.

    PSK

    Paypal Payment

    These may not be useful but i'll post them in case that they are.

    EDIT I also have the invoice for this payment available if someone needs it.

    Thank you for confirming they're indeed Alpharacks.

    The bullet is there.

    Well, their prices are all generally within $1 of Alpharacks...

    What the hell? Why would you ask that knowing that they’re probably affiliated with AR?

    On another note:


    I can sign in with the same email and password. I’m kind of glad that I changed all my information to random crap (“Cheesy Cheeseburger” lol) in April :]

  • I can confirm PSK Hosting scabbed my info from AlphaRacks.

    I was just able to login to https://clients.pskhosting.com/clientarea.php with my AlphaRacks info... PSK Hosting has all my info

    I tried AlphaRacks 1 time in below discussion
    https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/2905754#Comment_2905754

    I canceled the VPS following month and never had any other dealings

    No question there is shenanigans going on here

    You could have changed to "Popcorn Chicken" since Joshua Collishaw also works for KFC... lol. :-)

  • FoulFoul Member

    Can confirm i can sign in now on both accounts with info/pass from AR.

    At least my info is all fake as i did the same as @doghouch before ar went belly up.

  • There's no sub $10/year deals - vrry disppoint.

    Is this even legal? Transferring/potentially selling client data to another party without asking for consent.
