Be aware of Datadatum Houston (vyprnetworks)

Hello everyone. Recently, while surfing web, i found a topic, reveilong vyprnetworks and Joshua Leonard Prout as being scammers. I worked for him about 2 months and was doing his network/system engineering tickets 24/7. Despite the fact that every ticket was successfully closed, he stopped running his vyprnetwork company and did not paid for last 2 weeks. Total $300.

Few weeks ago, a man called (Datadatum Houston) added me to his skype and asked me to configure his switch. We agreed on $200. ( http://i.imgur.com/tTgNqzT.png) During configuration, we had skype call, and he accidentaly showed me his face and he was joshua. After seeing his face i decided to compare his phone number to the one, i used to call to joshua. I was keeping this number in my laptop. They are same. After configuring that device he told me that he has no money and i should wait while he gets payments for future customers. I told him that this was not acceptable for me and he promised to settle next day,and he did not kept his promise.

Here are Screenshots of our conversation:

    please don't double post...

    I also suggest verifying with @jarland who you really are.
    no offense meant but as far as I remember we already have seen that joshua prick trying to play the victim side too to get new characters established in his game...

    Thank you for posting the proof. I'm not going to ban this account. I am, however, wiping @Houston_Datum off the face of LET. Bye, Felicia.

    Seriously.. is it not time to gather all this info up, print it off and send it with a request for investigation to his local police department?

    I'd say federal or nothing in Houston. They don't even have the resources to effectively patrol the streets there. Lawless city.

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    He is from Huston?

    I am no expert, but from what I understand, it is not illegal to shoot him there?

    Side note: Don't shoot him

    2nd side note (or amendment, I forget which): what is the limit in Texas for 'obtaining money by deception' to be considered a felony?

    Could probably get away with it there, but not worth the effort. Former president would release statement "he could be my son" and then CNN gives out your address on air. Civil lawsuit from someone who lost money is probably the best course of action, IMO. Never hurts to call the police, and criminal charges are reasonable here, it's just a matter of priority and he'd be low on the list there.

    Yeah.,. worth collating and filing though, because that might just make the difference when someone eventually gets taken for a few grand instead of a few bucks.

    Failing that, release his address, lets start sending him dog poo in the mail!

  • This is really strange to me sometimes. Here, I call the police even over 50€ scammed off of me in an online transaction and the police investigates.

    Good to see you got the proof you wanted now though.

    Can't you normally see the posts of a banned account? Or did you delete all of its posts too?

    Just wondering since I was interested since it has some thanks which means some posts too I guess.

    By wiping I think Jarland meant removing them

    I wasn't really sure because of the way he said it, but I guess that makes sense.

    This guy sure is persistent if nothing else.

  • YuraYura Member

    @oneplus, you checked that his phone number is the same one Joshua Prout used to scam you.

    You saw his fucking face live. It was indeed the Joshua Prout who scammed you before.

    Yet you keep configuring his switch and then spend days asking him for money, waiting for the transfer and threatening to delete setting IF he won't pay you. (Did you delete settings at least?)

    Looks like a Vanilla bug. Same for other users, too: https://www.lowendtalk.com/profile/receivedthanks/jarland/

    Visible but it 404s if you click it.

    Man that sucks. Sorry to hear you lost out.

    Datadatum Houston was posting like crazy. Never really understood why anyone would want to colo servers in Houston. Way too much risk there.
