    @rpqu said: 5 days before he posted that to reddit, seeking buyer.

    the most un-digestable thing is how come Lewis got a buyer (that too from reddit) to buy his hosting company veloxmedia just in 5 days? Are business buy-out deals done so fast in real-world??

    It's acquisition speedrun any%

    Are glitches allowed?

    Scammers? xD

    Lol... it's a very professional attitude for a "multi million company". Lucky for him "legal" is so bad, in every company I've worked for that not even comes close to those (most likely fictional) numbers that'd be an instant non-active employee.

    Eric who? New owner? Who really believe in that?
    @itsTomHarper has just been fired from @VeloxMedia since they starting to deadpool and being canceled here in LET.
    He never went back to talk what really happened.

    Well, sorry for being so direct, but... congratulations. You got to where he wanted: to the point where he got himself (on his own point of view) a justification to drop all ultra low-cost unsustainable plans from LET the previous owner had did.

    I can also assume very much that Velox possibly delayed the new plan and started answering in this way also to give an impulse to this course of action. Unfortunately.

    Answering a previous question Velox has left unanswered, because I know the answer for that: he's being able to mark customers as fraud at bank/gateway level despite the account being Lewis's because Stripe and PayPal can create sub-users and have specific account management permissions, including access to refunds. He has a sub-user just for that, allowed by Lewis.

    Which does mean that yes, he also has access to several user data at the payment gateway level as well. Not only on WHMCS. And can very easily justify a transaction as fraudulent if e.g. data at the gateway doesn't check out with the data voluntarily provided by the customer.

    And since he continues to have transactions, and is apparently linked to a different Stripe account, any chargebacks or attempts will pretty much get to Lewis, not the new owner. Therefore, any attempts to chargeback are pointless (for the new owner).

    The problem is that the process for handling disputes is clearly defined:

    • customer raises chargeback with payment provider
    • payment provider informs the company that there is a dispute
    • the company can either accept the dispute is correct, and there's an automatic refund and the company gets a strike against them, or they can challenge the dispute and provide evidence that the service was in fact provided correctly and appropriate support was given etc, and the payment provider decides whether to uphold the dispute or reject it
    • for companies that have received enough strikes, their account may get frozen, and the payment provider might just start accepting disputes as being very probably true
    • the company is informed of the outcome
    • the company knows at every step of the process who the customer is and is free to put their service on hold pending outcome and cancel it if the dispute is completed
    • there is no reason for the customer to contact the company to say they are raising a chargeback - in fact usually the chargeback is a last result step because the company wouldn't reply

    Everything about what Veloxmedia is currently doing is wrong.

    • he is accessing Lewis' email account used for stripe, concerning transactions that only concern Lewis, the customer and stripe, and has no legal basis for doing so
    • those emails are at the end of the dispute process, which means the payment processor has already decided that the chargeback is justified
    • he only has the transaction ID, so he has to use cross-reference that against the WMHCS data to figure out who that user is to suspend the account
    • he doesn't have access to the rest of the customer details from stripe relating to that transaction ID because he doesn't have access to Lewis' stripe account
    • he is automatically then marking the original payment as fraudulent in retaliation, knowing that will cause the customer problems in the future
    • he is using an entirely unrelated stripe account to mark these transactions as fraud

    The real red flag is Eric requiring users to identify themselves to help if they chargeback to Lewis. This would never to required if he had a legitimate access to the stripe account, because he would be informed of which transaction it was and have all the relevant transaction details available, because that is required in order to provide the evidence pack when challenging a dispute.

    A secondary issue is that because Eric claims these are not his customers and is not working on behalf of Lewis to provide the service, legally he shouldn't even have any of the the PII in the WMHCS database.

    Lewis with the reddit post just found out someone that is acting as investor. And this one is squeezing him.

    But that's not what @VeloxMedia claimed. He says that every business account could view the fraud status using the transaction ID (for whatever reason someone else would have it).

    That would be news to me and, in my opinion, would not make sense, but I am of course happy to be corrected on this point.

    @itsTomHarper could also ditched Lewis just because of the LET cancelation on the BF megathread. And Lewis had no option that what it posted on Reddit.
    Simple speculations.

    And also report another company's transactions as fraud. I can't find anything about this on Google.

    What if that's exit-scam operation of Velox Media. Pretend to be Eric, but openly say can't have access to Lewis stripe account so please email Eric so he can terminate account when someone charges back - this way its look more legit. No fraud. It paints a cool positive picture for future sales/leads that OH Velox Media is trusted, Lewis was bad. Eric is good. Lets now buy $7/mo vps from Eric (or the same Lewis).

    Also, pretending to be Eric he can now easily shut down servers which many (though not even 100) have earlier purchased from Lewis. So now, by terminating ALL OLD CUSTOMERS account with a sole and lame reason the those customers are of Lewis, Eric can empty the node of $4/yr plan, and put in new customers with $7/mo plan legitly (he thinks).

    Its now time to ban veloxmedia's account here. Because he will come here with a new non-beliveable story every other day. First it was some Enterprise who spends millions on vmware software is now owning Velox Media, LLC/INC. lol. And they don't even have a legal team to write a privacy policy/TOS etc. They don't have anyone beyond Eric to reply support tickets. They don't have anyone beyond Eric to reply on LET. Even when Velox Media was with Lewis.. it was just him.

    How many humans do you know who accept mud-slinging, insults, and the like as acceptable criticism without not caring a rat's ass? An option most providers simply don't have if they want to sell anything here. I guess your list won't be long.

    You're forgetting some basic rules of trading:

    1. The customer is always right
    2. If the customer isn't right, don't tell him directly
    3. Always think about your public immage
    4. Stubborn behaviour is a no-no for anyone in trade
    5. If given advice from customers don't act like a jerk that you know better
    6. Never ever threaten a customer

    All 6 of these weren't done by him. It's action/reaction. Even when pointed out laws from their source, he's denying they are there or he has to act by it. From day 1 he's threatening people.

    You cannot deny that his behaviour here is the main reason for the (in your eyes) insults.

    So I wonder how you came to the - IMO wrong - conclusion that Eric has poor self-control. He in fact rationally explained how he came to the conclusion to terminate many/most/(hopefully not) all VPS.

    Have a psychologist look at the way this thread is going and the things he said and I 99.9% know for sure he'll share the conclusion that he lost self control a few times. I mean, even a simpel "I'm done with this this was my last message here on LET" and returning within a page is one of the things that you know either the first message was typed at some moment of losing himself. And why return? Maybe because he just liked the beating and wanted to have it a bit more. I don't know.

    More funny and terrible thing is: Lewis claimed they had 300 clients. Then Eric said Velox has 3000 customers. Discord has only 160-170 users. Here on LET if you go through their sales-thread not even 100 orders were placed. They advertised mostly on LET. Then where are those 3000 clients gone? On this thread there were only 5-6 customers that replied they got server from veloxmedia. 2-3 of them got terminated later by veloxmedia when they legitly chargedback. So.. there are only 3 customers left who use veloxmedia. They'll be soon shown the door according to Eric's statement. If Velox Media was not a scam operation then sure there were many people who could have come forward here and would write minimum 1 line atleast in favor of veloxmedia. But seems no one is happy. Customers chargedback/refunded.

    Sure, but I've called out this lack of silence before and lack of action in the past with Calin. Can't be repeated again... yet it's obvious what the outcome was when the VeloxMedia account started to crash out. And we are repeating it again...

    One could argue there's more evidence... fine... at least tell me if my reports are actually being acknowledged or not as right now this silence is getting old.

    Yeah, I hope this thread continues to remain available for a long time, as it is useful evidence documenting his admissions of breaking multiple laws. It might not be needed, but will definitely be useful when I report Veloxmedia to ICO in 2 weeks time.

    He's also documented accessing Lewis' private email without permission, but only Lewis can take action on that.

    He's also documented misusing the fraud reporting tools in Stripe against users, not because of an actual fraud, but solely with the intention of causing them harm.

    If Veloxmedia takes steps that ensure compliance going forward (which is essentially informing customers, obtaining consent and deleting any customers for who consent hasn't been obtained) then it's just wasting their time.

    Once there is documented evidence of them knowingly and deliberately exceeding the statutory maximum of 30 days, then there's something they can actually do about it.

    I'm also trying to be optimistic and holding out a shred of hope that Eric is actually legitimate and that he might still choose to do the right thing by the customers he acquired in the purchase.

    In my opinion, asking him to be banned seems unnecessary, particularly as he is no longer engaged in selling and has already had his tag suspended. Banning him will just grant him an easy way out and could possibly trigger him to delete of all LET customers data. He has already made numerous threats about doing it even while he's here. Moreover, in his absence, there would be no one left to act in a way that publicly demonstrates his unprofessionalism :)

    He's already done it.

    See @Saragoldfarb. She got her server suspended and is still out of pocket.

    Meanwhile, Eric is still busy removing people from their discord server who continue to discuss anything with him.

    @ralf said: The real red flag is Eric requiring users to identify themselves to help if they chargeback to Lewis. This would never to required if he had a legitimate access to the stripe account, because he would be informed of which transaction it was and have all the relevant transaction details available, because that is required in order to provide the evidence pack when challenging a dispute.

    A secondary issue is that because Eric claims these are not his customers and is not working on behalf of Lewis to provide the service, legally he shouldn't even have any of the the PII in the WMHCS database.

    Its now time to ban veloxmedia's account here.

    Tried that by flagging this thread multiple times at each point where he gave up and made it very clear he was threating to rug pull.
    Didn't work. All we got was a lousy "verbal warning" which by the way was weak.... Your unfortunate reminder it took AN UNNECCESARILY amount of time, effort, constant evading, constant pushing the straw to get @Calin nuked.

    Not necessarily, I believe staff is already watching every move in here. Most active thread.

    Sure, but I've called out this lack of silence before and lack of action in the past with Calin. Can't be repeated again... yet it's obvious what the outcome was when the VeloxMedia account started to crash out. And we are repeating it again...

    One could argue there's more evidence... fine... at least tell me if my reports are actually being acknowledged or not as right now this silence is getting old.

    Yeah, I hope this thread continues to remain available for a long time, as it is useful evidence documenting his admissions of breaking multiple laws. It might not be needed, but will definitely be useful when I report Veloxmedia to ICO in 2 weeks time.

    He's also documented accessing Lewis' private email without permission, but only Lewis can take action on that.

    He's also documented misusing the fraud reporting tools in Stripe against users, not because of an actual fraud, but solely with the intention of causing them harm.

    I did actually speak to someone who has a little bit more knowledge then I do and I would suggest filing those now.

    The best time is now.
    The next best time is today.

    Since admission is already there, it's a little too late.

    Note, me and my amazing sister in the UK are not lawyers. We both could be utterly wrong.

    If Veloxmedia takes steps that ensure compliance going forward (which is essentially informing customers, obtaining consent and deleting any customers for who consent hasn't been obtained) then it's just wasting their time.

    Once there is documented evidence of them knowingly and deliberately exceeding the statutory maximum of 30 days, then there's something they can actually do about it.

    I'm also trying to be optimistic and holding out a shred of hope that Eric is actually legitimate and that he might still choose to do the right thing by the customers he acquired in the purchase.

    Your decision, although you know I think that is quite unwise.
