that's crazy just do what was mentioned above 4 times
You can ticket and we can check, but it's usually:

When I tried Fran's hosting plan, my payment went through without any delay.
Makes me wonder what people are doing so wrong nowadays. VPN, VM, virtual CCs, crooked paypal.
All signs point that the end must be nigh.
Join Nigh sect.
Ah ha! Trying to outdo Racknerd in thread bumping.
So... Is this a popcorn drama?
And who is Karen?
Karen is Karen, she's our billing manager. She handles all money in & out of the company.
Francisco
Karen is Fran's alter ego.
Flip Fran's gender, and you have Karen.
Did you just assume the gender of Francisco?
I have not.
You know, we just mass updated our templates last night.....

Danish tax office: The invoice has to be in the company name and address. Paying invoices in a shareholder's name/address is by law an illegal shareholder loan (tax fraud).
Don'tBuyVM Terms: P.O. Boxes and non-residential or mail forwarding addresses are not accepted.
That deserves its own thread!
more real than you.
The signup requirements in their Terms can be anything but foggy. Nonetheless some things (from the third-party provided sales chat, to the the third-parties used during the verification process) quickly render the first point in their privacy policy futile, so I can't say your concerns are baseless.
All right...?
I saw someone accepting pushups as payment.
@yoursunny will gladly accept your push-ups for his South Pole DC VPS
I assume Francisco is a man because he has a man's name and it would be daft not to.
I assume Karen is a hot, big-breasted soccer mom with flowing blond hair, creamy white skin, legs for days, and a tight ex-gymnast's body because she has a hot, big-breasted soccer mom with flowing blonde hair, creamy white skin, legs for days, and a tight ex-gymnast's body's name and it would be daft not to. Also I would expect nothing less from Francisco.
I don't know dude. If you look up Karen on youtube, all you get are middle aged/older, entitled, white women. I'm not saying our Karen is that way, she was nice to me, but ijs, don't be making assumptions about Karens lol

This is way too kinky for me. I am more of a romantic and passionate person. Enjoy BuyVM without me.
The whole thing I think is sick
The whole thing I think is sick..
OP, try using myip.ms to check the exact location ( "Your Location" column) on homepage for your exact IP address & city. Location = city.
My new order were also rejected automatically by BuyVM and when I enquired to their billing she replied me that my IP location was not matching my address.
Well this happened because of my ISP gives dynamic IP address and since our country is damn large in size the IP could be 1000 miles away in another city and my city/zip would not match.
After dis-connecting/connecting my router several times I finally checked myip.ms site where is showed I got IP from my city. Then I placed order which was successfully accepted.
This happens only when using certain ISP from my country. Some ISP just provides regional IPs which are closer to the city or within the city.
I could be even simpler.. if you signup via smartphone and use Chrome, there is an option for "data save". If this is enabled, you get routed via VPN and you don't know it.
Or use a different browser with "private mode".
Opera f.e. activates an VPN when you browse in "private mode"
Or even an antivirus. Avira f.e. includes a vpn which is located in a different country.
I have been able to sign in anonymously years ago. I was paying with paypal, never had an issue with that.
In order to be anonymous you need to know how to defeat the system. If you make them reject enough valid customers and you still can get in at any time, you know your "trade".
Disclaimer: I am an anonymity freak with decades of experience, so YMMV.
Their geoip dbs are weird. I had to use my LTE connection to order(both times). I did ask them to fix it but it's probably a third party solution, idk.
Tell me about it... Our ranges have been listed as being all over the world, even outside of RIPE. People contact us asking for an Italian IP, not an Algerian one.
Karen normally checks ip-api.com or whatever fraudlabs reports.

Even we are being troubled by Morocco IP. We are getting lots of images being uploaded which are used for bulk emailing and those images carry false information. We are banning them and removing those images.
If I am banning the Morocco IP range then I would be losing real users too, is there a know IP database one can ban to avoid those people using our website?
Thanks
Could always see if you can force a captcha/javascript check on their IP ranges.
Morocco is blacklisted with us because we see a ~100% spammer rate. Even people that promise to 'never need email' start screaming an hour into signing up because their mail ports are firewalled.
Francisco
I think you can limit displays to 100 a day or less, more than that should require a captcha. This will filter out other kinds of abuse.
Woohoo, pastee for everyone!
