Prometeus - iwstack accused of fraud without explanation
This discussion has been closed.

While I do understand your point of view, businesses don't generally tell you why they deny you services because telling them why generally irk them and get into a verbal fight later on. Additionally, they can sign up again with different aliases if told why.
Reps will kindly tell you they are denying you the service and that is it in majority of cases.
If you place yourself in their shoes, you can see why. Why cause a possible commotion when you can end it cleanly? You may be a nice person but they don't know that.
Better be safe than sorry and cutting you off without telling you why is just common sense.
Albania is not North Korea. From what I know prometeus is a very remarkable bunch. This all seems like a giant misunderstanding unless there is something missing from the pic, @Maounique should know better.
I called the International Hosting Rights Tribunal and they say that iwstack is going to be forced to host you. Just hold in there and they'll contact you.
There maybe numerous reasons why they passed you by. Did you get your IP or the proxy IP you used, get slammed in the no fly zone as a suspicious activity
@leona
Hello, i purely used my home ip when i placed the order. No proxies or Vpn where used.
@joemerit
Thanks for the effort !
@raza19
Thanks for the comment. I coudnt agree more.
Wait, what did you put in the country field when you registered? And town?
@rds100
Country: albania
Town: my home town
As i said, i've provided full details.
@eKo i've seen someone trying to register with country Albania and town Kosovo. Needless to say we don't let such orders through. That's why i asked. If you are from Kosovo, that could be a problem.
@rds100
Im albanian from albania
you didn't make order from another country
j/k :P hope you find another location/provider.
Waiting for another party for clarification. Where are you @Maounique ?
Their reply on the ticket:
"Hello!
As I already told you, we do not allow linking/mirroring illegal torrents, we have to obey the law, it has nothing to do with your location, (only ours, these these are illegal in US/EU) we have many albanian customers as we have indonesian, vietnamese, kenyan, etc.
Thank you!
John"

My reply:
"From where on earth did you made the idea i will use your services for illegal purposes? This is the real question!
I didnt asked or stated that i will use the service for linking/torrenting/warez stuff!
This is just so funny, i dont know where you got this idea from me, but is all wrong!
Best wishes for your business, you're not that serious provider i thought you were."

So funny...

John is Mao
OR
Mao is John?
Nekki is Mao
MIND BLOWN
@Eko I'm assuming you signed up here with the same email address? If not PM me the email address you used with that provider and I can do a few checks for you.
@ATHK
Sent you a PM.
@Sixell
I dont get you, I already answered about that project, which is completed now.
As I replied, I was looking for some little cloud instances to use for a monitoring system.
Thanks.
John Deer who is not a real person because Mao which is not a real name because he wants to stay anonymous working for a provider rejecting customers.
Always makes me smile.
Well I couldn't find squat with OPS email he has one thread on Google product forums and that's it. Unless the fraud is tied by name IP or phone number.
I'd just put it down to the provider not wanting you, you should move on I would suggest DO unless they don't haveven the locations you want.
I know right? That's literally the only possible conclusion one could reach. There are absolutely no other possibilities.
Tell me where to meet, I'm ready to march.
It is a good thing when a host is strict. It means they are protecting their existing client base against potential bad neighbors.
It sucks to get rejected, but I don't expect Mao will explain his side, as this will expose confidential information.
There are bazillion prometeus customers here in LET who are not from EU and US. Man, I'm from 3rd world country in Asia. We are in the lowest tier of the discrimination hierarchy, but I was received as a customer many years ago. So the prejudice angle is out of the window.
The latest reply is very funny, I drop it here as I havent more time to argue with Prometeus funny guys:

"Thank you.
Once you did that before, we assume you skip providers to do it again.
Thank you!
John"

Im not sure what I did before, in this life or an other, but this still is funny, whatever it is.
Cheers.
(im closing this super cool ticket on their site as I havent all my life to dedicate to such morons).
That reply didn't seem very funny to me. I demand a refund.
I got rejected & refunded at the same time, so Im ok.
What about my refund?
Don't forget my one aswell! I demand a refund for not purchasing a service with them.
