You said you not gonna honor the deals, You already said you are different companies, yet you seem to work together.
I hope Stripe and Paypal show you some love, after that many chargebacks.

What are you talking about??? My deals are you talking about peoples original orders? I haven't made any statements about not honoring those at all. I have no intentions of not honoring them and everything is still operational. The plan right now is to keep everything as is.

If you're talking about current promo's/deals going on somewhere for sale, then no we might not honor them. Anything purchased right now is reviewed and accepted or cancelled/refunded. If its a outrageously low deal it'll be refunded, if its somewhat sane it'll be accepted.

We're still waiting for a proper introduction from you. That you haven't done so seems to show that you have something to hide.

Its Christmas man. Give me time

How much time to you need to create a fake identity?

How much time do you realistically feel it should take to create a legitimate US corporation during Christmas week? Attorneys, accounting, file a public statement and everything? What's a fair timeline for you?

Are you currently forming a company? What previous hosting company did you have experience in running?

Yes of course. How else can I register the name, obtain licensing, copyrights, insurance and everything else. Obviously its separate from anything else. No one runs multiple businesses under the same corporate structure, at a minimum you still legally need to file a DBA and other legal paperwork.

So again since everyone is in such a rush to ask all this info. How much time is reasonable to get all this information together, filed, and processed with the US government and state government during the holidays? Especially with the state of our government

But .. didn't you do this BEFORE the keys changed hands?

If the old owner is gone, and the new owner doesn't exist yet, who owns it right now?

This is all standard business processes.

If I tell you guys the name then tomorrow say the company name is VeloxMedia you guys will be confused and think I'm scamming because its confusing. But this is how it works in business because you need to hold assets while they're setup then transferred and setup properly. I'm not hiding anything just not explaining it until we have it all properly finalized.

ITS BEEN 3 DAYS!!! ITS CHRISTMAS!!!

If we were to give you the benefit of the doubt, give us a deadline date that you will announce everything? Say 2 Jan 2026 at the latest?

Even if you bought an off-the-shelf company and are changing its name, the company number will remain unchanged that. There's no harm in sharing that to prove you aren't lying about that as well as everything else.

bro this is a waste of time. "Eric" clearly has 2,147,483,647 ways to share some information in various aspects to gain people's trust, but he didn't

even if he is really doing some good job on VeloxMedia right now, through this post he has succeeded in making everyone think he's stupid

If you are a us citizen then one day should be enough.

You must have great law firms and accounting to get it all done same day then filed. I didn't even know the state can process same day

You are the the one asking
"How else can I register the name, obtain licensing, copyrights, insurance and everything else."
What copyrights? Licensing for what? That means you haven't even started. By the random names you are throwing it's more and more obvious that most probably you are not even an US citizen.

FYI - Forming an LLC and getting Articles of Organization when done right has instant approval.

Sigh, a hypothetical reasoning, for educational purpose

Chargeback Dispute Request - Exit Scam / Services Not Provided

Date: [Current Date - December 27, 2025 or later]
Cardholder Name: [Your Friend's Full Name]
Card Number: [Last 4 digits only - XXXX]
Transaction Date: [Date of Payment - likely late November 2025]
Transaction Amount: [Amount in GBP/USD/EUR]
Merchant Name: [UK Sole Trader's Legal Name] T/A [Trading Name/Brand Name]

Reason for Dispute: Services Not Provided / Merchant Fraud - Exit Scam

I am formally requesting a chargeback for the above transaction due to the merchant's premeditated exit scam and abandonment of contractual obligations.

Summary of Fraudulent Activity

I purchased [specify: VPS/dedicated server/shared hosting] services from [Merchant Name], a UK sole trader, on [transaction date]. I made a one-time prepayment of [amount] for a [2 or 3]-year service contract that was to run from [start date] through [end date - 2027 or 2028].

The merchant has disappeared after executing a clear exit scam, taking prepaid funds from multiple customers while abandoning all service obligations.

Timeline of Exit Scam

June 2025: The merchant began aggressive pricing campaigns on [forum name], offering deals significantly cheaper than competitors to attract customers into long-term prepaid contracts.

November 2025 (Black Friday): The merchant intensified the scheme with extremely aggressive 2-3 year deals at prices well below market rates, designed to maximize prepaid revenue before disappearing. I purchased my service during this period.

December 20, 2025: The merchant posted on Reddit seeking someone to "take over" the business, a common exit scam tactic.

December 23, 2025: Public disclosure on [forum name] revealed the merchant had disappeared with both:
- Customer prepayments for multi-year contracts
- Business transfer funds from a prospective buyer (US citizen)

December 24-26, 2025: Services are only running because the defrauded US buyer paid infrastructure bills out of pocket. I have no contract with this third party and no guarantee of continued service.

Evidence of Premeditated Fraud

Suspicious Business Practices: The merchant operated for nearly 4 years without proper UK business registration disclosure (legal name "ABC" was not displayed with trading name as required by UK Companies Act). This violation was only discovered 23 days before the merchant disappeared, suggesting awareness of impending legal scrutiny.
Predatory Pricing Pattern: From June through November 2025, the merchant systematically offered below-market pricing specifically to lock customers into long-term prepaid contracts, maximizing the value of the exit scam.
Multi-Year Prepayment Strategy: The merchant pushed 2-3 year contracts heavily during Black Friday 2025, collecting maximum prepayments immediately before disappearing.
Triangle Scam: The merchant solicited a business buyer, collected transfer funds from that buyer on December 23, 2025, then disappeared with both transfer payments and customer prepayments.
Complete Abandonment: The merchant has not responded to any communications since December 23, 2025, and has made no attempt to fulfill service obligations or issue refunds.
Multiple Victims: Numerous customers on [forum name] have reported being defrauded, with contract ages ranging from 6 months to just weeks old. All involve multi-year prepayments.

Material Breach of Contract

I paid for: [2 or 3] years of hosting services ([start date] to [end date])

I received: Approximately [X weeks/days] of service before merchant abandonment

Services owed but not provided: [Calculate: nearly the entire contract period - e.g., "approximately 35 months of the 36-month contract remain unfulfilled"]

Contract value unfulfilled: Approximately [calculate percentage - e.g., "97% of the contract value"]

Current Service Status Does Not Fulfill My Contract

While services are temporarily operational, this does NOT satisfy my contract because:

No Contractual Relationship: I have no agreement with the US citizen currently maintaining the infrastructure. My contract was exclusively with the UK sole trader who has abandoned obligations.
No Service Guarantees: The US citizen is acting as a "good Samaritan" and may discontinue services at any time. He has specifically mentioned seeking to discontinue "unfair" contracts.
Breach of Original Terms: My contract specified terms, service levels, and support from the UK trader. None of these are being honored.
Temporary Charity ≠ Contracted Service: Service continuation is at the discretion of a third party who has no obligation to me and has explicitly stated the arrangement is unsustainable.

Supporting Documentation

I have attached the following evidence:

Payment Proof: Invoice/receipt showing [amount] paid on [date] for [2-3] year contract
Contract Terms: Original service agreement and terms accepted at purchase
Exit Scam Evidence:
- Screenshot of Reddit post dated December 20, 2025 (merchant seeking business buyer)
- Screenshots of [forum name] posts from December 23, 2025 (disclosure of merchant disappearance with funds)
- Forum discussions showing multiple victims with similar circumstances
Attempted Contact: Evidence of unanswered emails/messages to merchant (dates: [list dates])
Timeline Documentation: Evidence of aggressive pricing campaigns June-November 2025
Business Registration Issue: Documentation of the merchant's failure to properly display legal business name (discovered 23 days before disappearance)

Requested Resolution

I request a full chargeback or pro-rata of [amount] under the following reason codes:

Visa: Reason Code 30 (Services Not Provided or Not as Described)
Mastercard: Reason Code 4853 (Goods or Services Not Provided)
Alternative: Fraud classification given the clear exit scam pattern

Justification Summary

The merchant:

Engaged in a premeditated exit scam by offering aggressive multi-year deals specifically to maximize prepayments before disappearing
Breached contract by abandoning service obligations after collecting [2-3] years of prepayment
Failed to provide approximately [X%] of contracted services
Committed fraud by taking funds with no intention of fulfilling long-term obligations
Is completely unreachable and has made no attempt at refund or service continuation
Defrauded multiple customers in an identical pattern, demonstrating systematic fraud

This is not a dispute over service quality or minor issues - this is outright theft through a calculated exit scam.

I did not receive the services I paid for, the merchant has disappeared with prepaid funds, and I have no contractual protection for the remaining [X months/years] of service I purchased.

Wait, if he does not own Benthost LLC and he uses name Benthost and makes people THINK that he is owner of the Benthost LLC then we are getting yet another level of legal fun. Maybe real Benthost LLC will be interested about their reputation and would like to ask Mr. Eric here a few questions via very formal letters.

I'm probably totally wrong that he's not involved with Bentohst. Maybe his dad run's bento's IT department or something.

You said you not gonna honor the deals, You already said you are different companies, yet you seem to work together.
I hope Stripe and Paypal show you some love, after that many chargebacks.

What are you talking about??? My deals are you talking about peoples original orders? I haven't made any statements about not honoring those at all. I have no intentions of not honoring them and everything is still operational. The plan right now is to keep everything as is.

If you're talking about current promo's/deals going on somewhere for sale, then no we might not honor them. Anything purchased right now is reviewed and accepted or cancelled/refunded. If its a outrageously low deal it'll be refunded, if its somewhat sane it'll be accepted.

We're still waiting for a proper introduction from you. That you haven't done so seems to show that you have something to hide.

Its Christmas man. Give me time

How much time to you need to create a fake identity?

How much time do you realistically feel it should take to create a legitimate US corporation during Christmas week? Attorneys, accounting, file a public statement and everything? What's a fair timeline for you?

Took me 2 business days

Ahhhh I see now. You guys gotta calm down and relax.

Well, to be honest, I'm pretty calm en pretty relaxed. At least I'm not writing things here that I'm confronted with a mess, that everyone is against me and that kind of stuff.

There's obviously going to be new terms and conditions and policies and everything else so new "contracts" . This has nothing to do with the service or anything else, just legal.

You've been saying other things in the recent past.

i12h · December 2025

This is a formal summary of the investigation into VeloxMedia.co.uk and its parent entity, ARPW Group. You can share this directly with the community on forums like LowEndTalk, Reddit, or Discord to help coordinate collective action.

📢 Investigation Report: VeloxMedia / ARPW Group "Ownership Transfer" Exit Scam

The following information has been compiled regarding the recent claims by VeloxMedia management that they are no longer liable for previous service agreements due to an "ownership change."

1. Key Individuals & Shadow Management

The investigation points to two primary individuals behind the operation. While "Eric" has recently appeared as the new face of the company, the legal and financial trail leads back to:

Lewis Edwards: The original founder. In the official Terms of Service, he operated as "Lewis Edwards T/A VeloxMedia" (Sole Trader).
Austin Ryan Peter Wood: The Director of ARPW Group, which VeloxMedia publicly identified as its parent organization. He is the central figure in the corporate structure.

2. Corporate Entities (The "Shell" Game)

The following entities are registered at Companies House (UK/Scotland) and are linked to this operation:

ARPWUK LIMITED (Company No. SC862373): Incorporated on September 10, 2025. This is the active entity behind the "Group."
VELOX MEDIA LTD (Company No. 11880554): This entity was Dissolved on November 25, 2025. The timing is critical, as it suggests an intentional move to dissolve the legal personhood of the brand shortly before the "ownership transfer" exit.
DASHAESTHETICS LIMITED (Company No. SC728981): Another active company directed by Austin Wood, sharing the same business infrastructure.

3. Physical Locations (For Legal Service)

All roads lead to Aberdeen, Scotland. These addresses are vital for anyone filing Small Claims or reporting to local authorities:

Registered Office: Office 1, 479 Great Western Road, Aberdeen, AB10 6NN.
Associated Business Address: 543 Great Western Road, Aberdeen, AB10 6PE.
Alternative Contact Point: 42 Broomhill Road, Aberdeen, AB10 6HT.

4. The Exit Strategy: "The Eric Persona"

The current narrative—where a person named "Eric" claims to have taken over the "keys" but refuses to honor 3-year pre-paid contracts—is a classic Exit Scam tactic.

The Goal: To keep the physical assets (servers) and brand name while legally distancing themselves from the liabilities (your pre-paid services).
The Reality: Under UK Law (specifically the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations or general contract law regarding business transfers), a simple change of "management" does not automatically void consumer contracts. If the assets and brand were transferred, the obligations usually follow.

5. Recommended Actions for Affected Consumers

If you have been told your pre-paid service will not be honored, do not wait. Take the following steps:

Immediate Chargeback: Contact your bank or PayPal immediately. Use the reason: "Service not as described / Service not rendered." Provide the screenshot where "Eric" or the "New Management" explicitly states they will not honor your remaining credit.
Report to Action Fraud (UK): File a report at actionfraud.police.uk. This is the UK’s national reporting center for fraud.
ICO Complaint (GDPR): If your data was "transferred" to a new owner without your consent, and they are now using that data to demand more money, this is a violation of UK GDPR. Report them to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Trading Standards: Contact Citizens Advice Scotland to flag the business for unfair trading practices and breach of contract.

Summary Table for Quick Reference:

Entity / Person	Details	Status
Austin Ryan Peter Wood	Director of ARPW Group	Active
Lewis Edwards	Original Operator	Active / "Stepped Down"
ARPWUK Limited	SC862373	Active
Velox Media Ltd	11880554	Dissolved (Nov 2025)
Location	Aberdeen, Scotland	Multiple Addresses
