You guys can't be this stupid. Eric literally came on here and told everybody he's fighting to keep everybody on board and what do you guys do? Jump the gun and kept spitting in his face. If anybody is to blame getting all the LET deals revoked, its you. Y'all act like Eric wanted this outcome. You folk are the reason it even got this far, blaming everything but yourselves. The gull of some people.
100% rage bait
For instance:
there's no way I could get a lawyer to form a company days before Christmas. Yet, he filed the formation of VeloxMedia LLC on December 24 2025back pedaling. From "fighting for the existing customer", then "those who doesn't charge back", and now "who paid monthly fees". What's next? Setup fees?I don't think a single person here was ever expecting to be treated like they have a major account. They simply expected to receive a service they paid for.
who is this speaking? Eric/VeloxMedia alt account?
We are not stupid. We purchased VPS from VeloxMedia and legitly chargeback when Eric started threating us and telling lies all over Discord and LET threads. We don't care if LET deals got revoked. Velox Media is a sinking ship and we would not like to spend a cent on it!
Well not only Eric acted un-professionally, there is now no trust left on his Velox Media vps business among any LET users except his shills and alt accounts here.
What's more bad is: we haven't seen any liar and big scammer than Eric/Lewis/VeloxMedia.co.uk here on this forum's history. Glad the mods have banned VeloxMedia account or else Velox Media would have gone further to scam users here and on the internet in other forums like lowendspirit, nodeloc, nodeseek... etc.
Within a couple of hours of Eric taking control of the LET account, in his 5th post here in fact, he stated that he wanted to terminate most of the accounts because they weren't profitable enough.

There is nobody to blame apart from Lewis / Eric.
He's just using LET as a scapegoat to justify the actions he'd already decided on. And the LET market represents the majority of the customers involved in the original exit scam anyway, for the simple reason that almost nobody outside LET had even heard of Veloxmedia, other than where deals had been reposted from LET elsewhere.
All he's really trying to do here is get people to write off their previous payment and extort an additional $4/m from almost all the customer base that were originally scammed. It's just phase 2 of the scam.
And we (certainly not only me) do get that service, at least many if not most of us!
You see, I get it, the way the whole transfer was handled and communicated certainly wasn't perfect and I can even accept that quite a few here found it crappy.
But at the end of the day I don't care about all legal details being picture perfect or about a provider being a decent and friendly person (although I'd appreciate it) - what I care about is whether I get the service I paid for more or less quickly, about my VPS working fine, about decent and not too slow support. And that - not only I - actually got and get.
From what I see this whole shit storm here was utterly exaggerated, things were blown out of proportion and almost nobody appreciated that Eric put a lot of effort and time into making it as smooth as the circumstances allowed during Christmas(!).
After all the mud and rage thrown at Eric he seemed to first get angry - understandably! - and later seems to have changed to "I don't care anymore about that toxic bunch" and even said things which could be perceived as threatening to kill all our VPS.
But he didn't. Although a few here went really far in their rage.
Don't drive me to say which side is the one I perceive to be the most guilty and ill-willed (and partially even evil) one! Because you quite probably won't like to hear what I've learned during this thread.
you cant be this stupid either.
The only reason jsg said all those words is that jsg's production name does not contain an "LET" in the name and not deleted or require additional payment. Think about how that account would publish here if that "Discontinuation of services" email were sent to jsg. If you are selfish that's fine just spend your time with your Veloxmedia server. But don't act like you are a self-righteous person here.
You start with "FWIW", and you end with "Facts". To answer you: FWIW is your experience and the way you deal with it. That's what it's worth for you and to others. And that's a fact.
You cannot extend your own experience and way you handle it with others, so you cannot make that a fact for all of us. As explained, people have had their accounts deleted, forced to pay again if they wanted to continue while they've already paid for it, etc.
My VPS is also still running. "woohoo".
I tend to do about the same (usually for a couple of months), but the 3 months that I have this VPS already passed. Do I want to use this VPS in producten? Hell no. I don't know what will happen in 1, 7 or 30 days. I can still get an e-mail saying I have "a few days to pick up my stuff and go or pay an extra xx". Statements made by "Eric" doesn't mean anything; they are at best "intentions" and I don't buy anything for that. And that's why I know one thing for sure: not a single payment will be done again ever by me to this company.
Given that this is LET, where the majority of deals were advertised, and the source of the majority of customers, I think "most of us" aren't getting the service paid for.
It's actually surprising to me how you and @hennaboy managed to buy non-LET deals anyway. You don't think that maybe you two were given special treatment because of your positivity for Eric from the start? Or did you actually buy your services from deals advertised elsewhere?
I'm curious. What is going "really far in their rage" to you?
It seems the "rage" has mostly limited to asking questions, informing Eric of the law, and requesting a chargeback when both Lewis and Eric each claimed to have no obligations to continue providing the service.
Eric's actions to me seem far more full of rage - arbitrarily cancelling paying customers on a whim and blaming it on other customers who have offended him or called him out on his bullshit.
150 pages here we come!?
Sooner than you think. Eric never failed to surprise us.
Yeah, even if everything stops now we'll get about 2 pages of "my VPS is still working", 2 pages of "when do I get my money back" and 1 page of "what happened to Lewis/Eric". So we only need 1 page of miscellaneous to get to 150.
Depends on how you look at it. If (and that's a big if) Eric is all done with deleting plans/customers with "LET" in the name it's no real surprise. There are enough deals posted here on LET by Lewis that won't have LET in the plan name; mine for instance.
So they won't be identified by that simple "cat plannames.txt | grep -i let | rm $plan".
That won't give you certainty though in my opinion. There will come a moment - maybe in an hour, may be in 11 months, that he decides that more revenue is needed and those plans will be given the same treatment.
jsg's case might not just be Stockholm Syndrome; it could be pure masochism. Often, their urges vanish when they're ignored. This kind of desire usually defies logical explanation, and the "witch hunt" he spoke of might not be literal. A plausible theory is that, to some extent, he hopes to take Eric's place in being subjected to people's bullying.
I'm not sure if this deep analysis is entertaining, but I'm actively exploring ways to contribute traffic to LET.
I know it has nothing to do with the point you're making, but I have to correct this or my OCD will kill me.
You don't need to be a CEO to see the this is not a professional behavior from veloxmedia. I'm not a CEO but on part of my work is to acquire new companies, so our company and their company work together, so, I can say if someone is working professionally or not. As you can see in this thread, many people have the same point of view.
No other hoster will share refugee deals with the same specs and the same price, you can't be profitable.
I also still have my service which is a non-LET deal, and I did not buy it from LET.
Everything about him is bullshit, even the behavior is an act.
Where else did he advertise? Just discord or somewhere else too?
Reddit probably. He also advertised it as a game server
Well you shouldn't expect to receive a service if the service is "unsustainable".
