My guess is (3) and he's trying to figure out how much trouble he is in by writing these vague messages.

Min: 1600×£10= £16000
Assuming average consumer booked £40 sales: 1600×£40= £64000
I have 32,000 clients
And that's not true either
RIP
Seems to be up and down. Also kinda funny tho that given the talk of unsustainable deals and everything being a mess, the special offers page is still up and accepting orders - maybe turn orders off until you can figure out what you're actually doing?
But everything is his from now so......
As most of us paid yearly or even more guys make sure you have no credit card saved, no PayPal agreement or anything like that. You can always set it again in a year, but disabling it now will be less hassle than chargebacks later.
Not really inspiring a ton of confidence, lol
To be honest... I think people are getting a b> @VeloxMedia said:
cool. dont touch my 4/y server please.
No, orders on and before 21st are the old owner and on and after 25th is the new. Any orders placed today are not owned by anyone.
Oh shit yeah, the username looks like not him, but clicking on it shows it is as the name is Lewii. https://www.reddit.com/user/NaiveSalad9599/
So this exitscam wasn't even a formulated plan until 5 days ago?
And this "new owner" bought it within 2-3 days of that thread being posted.
Lewis Eric Harper right?
Honestly, if its truly just a new guy trying to step in and pick up the slack I wish them nothing but the best, but the tone and messaging and just... lack of information or proper process is a tad concerning at this point. Certainly not going to be counting on these VMs sticking around. But also... that's always a risk of buying some of the crazier deals.
So the (customer) data is owned/managed by a US citizen now, not UK anymore
benthost is located in ohio so yea
When he was getting into this, this is probably what he thought a hosting provider's life was like:
Who's Harper?
Of @itsTom fame
From discord:
Trust is earned. Lets be real here and look at the facts. I have the keys to the kingdom right now and full control over everything. I could easily shutdown everyone's hosting down right now and start fresh, rebill everyone or do anything I wanted. But I'm paying your bills to keep the servers online and handling the tickets to help ensure everything is working properly. I'm updating everyone on the status and making changes to help improve things. I'm asking for some time to dig through this crazy stuff to get a solid plan together so we all have an understanding of whats going on and it all makes sense. There's a ton of moving parts. Tons of security and bills and everything else, plus its xmas and family and all of life. So please bear with me a bit and trust me..... or backup your stuff and shut down your VPS and just logoff here then you don't need to worry about any of this.
BTW if anyone orders any crazy or obviously insane deal we'll just cancel the order and process a refund. There's literally like 500+ products in this system and I don't want to make any system changes yet until I fully dig into that side of things. So yes the ordering is still active but I've just cancelled a couple that came in
Was he an employee? His posts about Velox contain "we".
And from lewii:
Well a contract was signed by both of us, the proof is here however I’m going to let Eric do his thing.
Regardless of the takeover, there is no malice from myself or Eric (from what I can tell). I had good intentions for VeloxMedia, built it up from the ground up in 2021.
I trust Eric will take good care of you, and I hope you are all well looked after.
But I am asking, regardless if you listen or not to give Eric a chance and settle in.
I have asked for benthost to introduce themselves a few times now so everyone speculating can rest easy, that’s all I can ask of them.
I don’t want to see VeloxMedia get turned into shitshow, as much as I am not part, I still care and have built some amazing relationships with clients over the years and have always tried my best with each and everyone of you that have reached out.
Unfortunately, MJJs do make this VERY difficult because of the demand of free stuff and constant moaning for things that NO host can deal with such as IPs being blocked from Google and other services, however if this is banned in your country…well then that’s kind of what google and the GCFW are trying to stop which shouldn’t be a hosts fault.
However, enough of me. Please allow Eric and his team to settle in
this guy sounds like a real gem lol
Yeah. Guess no hope for my 4/y
gonna be interesting to watch what happens to my account credit.
All responses from @VeloxMedia point to
Super stupid for someone to take charge about something without knowing anything. Trying to come out as a savior but only on surface.
Deep down its probably something else
Really curious how the provider tag to @VeloxMedia was issued and what type of vetting is done @jbiloh
It squarely falls on money grab from LET admin
All downhill since @Calin scammed 22k
Well, too late for that. We've all seen it happening over the last couple of days/hours. And guess who's to blame to start it all? Look in the mirror Lewii...
