    Under the GDPR, any PII data concerning EU/UK citizens can only be held for justifiable business reasons established in the law and with the consent of the data subject. Any PII data needs to be deleted as soon as possible, and at a maximum of 30 days after that business use has ended.

    Eric has stated multiple times that anyone who bought a server from Veloxmedia before he took over is not his customer. If this is true, he has no justifiable business reason to hold that data and it must be deleted immediately.

    Eric's insistence that we are not his customers is exactly the reason he must delete our data.

    30 days not immediately. You even stated it here. Please cite where it says immediately.

    The text states:

    "The personal data should be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which they are processed. This requires, in particular, ensuring that the period for which the personal data are stored is limited to a strict minimum."

    Also please show me a single case where someone has data stored and wants it deleted and we haven't. We keep requesting for this info.

    The onus is not on us to request you to delete it.

    You have obtained the PII without a legal business reason to have it, and you have not obtained our consent to use or store it. You are required by law to delete it.

    Pop a ticket with your account info and we'll delete it asap. We need to know which are EU/UK customers and GDPR required

    You have to request consent, it is illegal to assume consent without notifying the data subject.

    Sorry, but you have no legal option other than e-mail all customers acquired from Lewis informing them of the situation.

    You could try e-mailing only the ones you know to be EU/UK citizens, but if you make a mistake and miss any, then you will still be violating the law. It's safest to e-mail everybody.

    How's that e-mail going by the way, you said it'd only take you 10 minutes. Wasn't that over 24 hours ago now?

    So 30 days is perfectly fine. No where immediately see how you keep adding things that aren't true?

    Again we've already started the process of deleting the data, lots more deleting to come so no worries there.

    No need to make any announcements or anything even right?

    Wrong.

    please explain

    Come on man, please. Step back. Arguing here will only make things worse. I still want you to succeed, but you have to stop falling back into this or the drama will just get worse.

    Worse? This is entertaining. Well delete all these accounts and start fresh. Solve everyone's problems.

    Andrew from legal department, Eric from illegal department. They work hand in hand.

    Didn't we have the FBI at somepoint too!?

    Yeah, IIRC they recommended Eric extort customers for $2500/m each to keep using their $4/y server, or something like that. I don't think anybody wanted to do that and so the FBI lost interest.

    The DC ended up paying it. Instead of us absorbing the costs we're moving services off them and onto our own DC.

    It's another case where LET just caused pain for the DC and themselves as now they're stuck with a high bill and losing us as a client, and we're moving most of our services from them to our hardware. Forcing users to change locations.

    What dc?

    If their service is active and they chargeback without popping a ticket telling us then yes it's marked as fraud. If they tell us then no. If we terminate the account then no.

    Idk why this is so complicated I've already explained this. The system checks for active service and if there's a chargeback it'll terminate the service then file a fraud. If we terminate the service then it's not active...

    You keep asking the same questions then get upset I don't keep answering them. Then complain you don't have time. You're not very good at time management. No wonder why you charge so little and still don't have time to deal with actual problems

    No, that's all good. Thanks for confirming that is still your policy.

    @VeloxMedia
    Can you please answer these last 2 questions? You skipped a page past them, so I presume you must have overlooked them.

    Can you confirm again whether you believe these people filing chargebacks are or are not your customers?

    Final question, one that I haven't asked before...
    If you terminate the service of someone who bought one of these deals and hasn't read this thread or discord, and then they chargeback because the service was terminated without any notifications, do you believe that to be fraud as well?

    You're too busy remember.

    Why would someones service be terminated without notification? Even when we terminate or suspends them it notifies them.

    Notification in advance my man... You do send it but the email timing is off...

    As for notification.... New dump incoming.

    We didn't buy a company, lewis still has the "company" and all the obligations. Just because I have a name doesn't mean I have a company or the liabilities.

    How can you terminate a service for someone that you state yourself is not a customer to "your" company, that seems clearly impossible.

    @VeloxMedia said:

    We would but our provider tag is still suspended for zero reason. As such we have zero intention of providing any sales or supporting this site in any way. We'll be having massive promotions on other sites soon.

    What do you mean with "our provider tag"? This isnt "your" account.

    Its almost like..........

    Please read the past 100 pages. This has been repeated at least 100 times

    Might want to change your signature as you are not “uk based “

    No need we don't sell here

    Why you're still promoting on your signature?

    He can put in his sig whatever he damn pleases as long as it's not illegal or against LET's rules.
    And he certainly doesn't need to justify his sig to you!

    It is like not... Totally legal?

    Gotcha, I'll stick with my team of attorneys with law degrees who specialize in GDPR.

    OK, good luck with that.

    Yupp. So on to @Saragoldfarb why won't you look into that?

    I have real work to do during the day, and my spare time is already spoken for with another time sensitive task.

    Guess you don't actually care about GDPR and people's rights. Just the double standard.

    I do very much care about GDPR. However, I only have so much time, and it's already set aside for gathering all the evidence against you into a suitable format to be handed over to ICO at the appropriate time.

    I haven't seen the thing you claim Sara has done, so I have no opinion on whether it is infringing or not. However, from what you said earlier, and knowing that you are a US citizen, it's unlikely the GDPR will be relevant.

    The hypocrisy

    Yes, you are rather good at it, aren't you?

    You haven't seen the multiple posts from him with the discord dumps? Including every image with PII from a private server?

    Also the fact he stated it's his company server that he has attorney on retainer

    Links please.

    Never gonna happen. He know it's hosted at VeloxSomething.... My exact words.

    Why are you hiding it now?

    Hiding? I'm not...

    You have 100x more of a case in suing LET because they facilitated the transaction by approving Lewis as a provider.

    Now he's trying to divert focus to LET ownership/management itself. Sounds like he is now trying to invite a ban at this stage of the failing scam.

    If LET does that, hopefully they will also ban all the associated logins that have been used in this scam/attempted additional scam as well. (A little log review will clearly reveal their interconnection -- common VPNs and maybe even some more telling slip-ups in the heat of the moment.)

    The only character he won't truly focus his venom on is "Lewis" for some reason. You know, the guy who became exhausted from collecting all the money from those Tom Harper-pimped BF pre-paid annual deals before he even paid his January monthly server renewals.

    A Gold Star for the first person to correctly figure out why that is.

    A little while ago when it was "Andrew" that posted on the VeloxMedia account. I asked @DP an extremely simple question. Was the geo location different vs the one supposedly behind the "Eric" personality. Didn't get an answer.

    I think this has been an exercise in data mining, coercion (remember the 1000 bucks to fix a ddos issue?), high effort trolling and outright attempting to rug pull once it's a little too late. Along with the emotional powered threats of culling everyone who came from LET (because the majority called it out and we're not happy with the unprofessional behavior).

    I still think for the betterment of everyone. A ban should happen now, triggering the culling so everyone capable can do charge backs/disputes now rather than later. Anyone who paid in crypto is obviously shit out of luck. Of course this thread would explode with activity and then people can start raising complaints with the relevant bodies as the evidence is all in this wonderful 100 plus large thread.

    People should chargeback. We're terminating LET orders

    So much legal implications with this statement....

    And I paid with cryptocurrency. :/

    May i ask you, and don't get me wrong, that's why you still support this provider? that you can't even ask for a chargeback?
    I believe everyone here wanted what was best for him and the business, but his attitude led everyone to start complaining. He is still lying for costumers, we cannot see any transparency in here.

    I'm still in the discord, so here's a screenshot for you :-)

    Also, here's a message saying Velox is cancelling all LET services.

    Apologies if the information is out of date. Apparently things are still in flux, which as we all know is one characteristic everyone hopes for in a service provider.

    Not too much (and my costs are spread around ~35 VPSes at the moment). It's around $50 I think, but I'm also on a tight budget and every dollar counts. So all I can hope for is that Eric does the right thing and isn't gullible enough to fall for the taunts.

    Yes, I'm about to finish up for the day, so it'd be nice to know these answers before I go.

    The people filing these chargebacks for the LET deals - are they your customers? I believe you previously said you don't consider them to be.

    Why would someones service be terminated without notification? Even when we terminate or suspends them it notifies them.

    OK, so you're going to send them an e-mail confirming that the service is being terminated. That's good news, at least they will know what's happening. When that happens, and they file a chargeback, do you plan to report them all as fraud?

    How many times do I have to keep explaining the same thing over again?

    Just once. You haven't ever answered the second question. This is the third time now that I've asked it, but you still haven't answered it. It's quite a simple question:

    When you cancel the services of the customers that joined under Lewis, and they file a chargeback, do you plan to report them all as fraud?

    I keep explaining the process. you just don't understand it. Why is it so hard for you to understand. Re-read the 110 pages for your answers you seek

    You have never answered this question because I have never asked it before (although this is the fourth time now you have failed to answer it). There are no answers to be found in previous pages.

    Previously you have said you have marked everybody as fraud if they did a chargeback but hadn't informed you.

    If want to know what happens after you cancel all of the LET users who bought while Lewis was selling, and who you don't consider customers. When you cancel their services, a significant number will probably chargeback due to the cancelled contract with Lewis. Do you plan to flag all of those chargebacks as fraud.

    A simple yes or no is sufficient.

    Just for clarification, are you still automatically marking every chargeback as fraud?

    Because if you're doing that after specifically informing users that you are cancelling their service and requesting users to chargeback, then you will be acting fraudulently yourself.

    I imagine Stripe will have an opinion on that which might affect your credibility with them.

    He using an alt account with payment processor.

    You can't use an alt account with payment processors.... you need legal tax id information

    Under the GDPR, any PII data concerning EU/UK citizens can only be held for justifiable business reasons established in the law and with the consent of the data subject. Any PII data needs to be deleted as soon as possible, and at a maximum of 30 days after that business use has ended.

    Eric has stated multiple times that anyone who bought a server from Veloxmedia before he took over is not his customer. If this is true, he has no justifiable business reason to hold that data and it must be deleted immediately.

    Eric's insistence that we are not his customers is exactly the reason he must delete our data.

    Also please show me a single case where someone has data stored and wants it deleted and we haven't. We keep requesting for this info.

    The onus is not on us to request you to delete it.

    You have obtained the PII without a legal business reason to have it, and you have not obtained our consent to use or store it. You are required by law to delete it.

    Pop a ticket with your account info and we'll delete it asap. We need to know which are EU/UK customers and GDPR required

    You have to request consent, it is illegal to assume consent without notifying the data subject.

    Sorry, but you have no legal option other than e-mail all customers acquired from Lewis informing them of the situation.

    You could try e-mailing only the ones you know to be EU/UK citizens, but if you make a mistake and miss any, then you will still be violating the law. It's safest to e-mail everybody.

    How's that e-mail going by the way, you said it'd only take you 10 minutes. Wasn't that over 24 hours ago now?

    So 30 days is perfectly fine. No where immediately see how you keep adding things that aren't true?

    Again we've already started the process of deleting the data, lots more deleting to come so no worries there.

    No need to make any announcements or anything even right?

    Wrong.

    please explain

    Ask your legal team why. I don't work for free, especially not for people who have stolen our money.

    People here have been goading him into deleting everyone's data for days, and he finally fell for it. At this point, even when the community was the one wronged in the beginning, I'm not sure who I'm more angry at.

    Under the GDPR, any PII data concerning EU/UK citizens can only be held for justifiable business reasons established in the law and with the consent of the data subject. Any PII data needs to be deleted as soon as possible, and at a maximum of 30 days after that business use has ended.

    Eric has stated multiple times that anyone who bought a server from Veloxmedia before he took over is not his customer. If this is true, he has no justifiable business reason to hold that data and it must be deleted immediately.

    Eric's insistence that we are not his customers is exactly the reason he must delete our data.

    30 days not immediately. You even stated it here. Please cite where it says immediately.

    The text states:

    "The personal data should be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which they are processed. This requires, in particular, ensuring that the period for which the personal data are stored is limited to a strict minimum."

    Also please show me a single case where someone has data stored and wants it deleted and we haven't. We keep requesting for this info.

    The onus is not on us to request you to delete it.

    You have obtained the PII without a legal business reason to have it, and you have not obtained our consent to use or store it. You are required by law to delete it.

    Pop a ticket with your account info and we'll delete it asap. We need to know which are EU/UK customers and GDPR required

    You have to request consent, it is illegal to assume consent without notifying the data subject.

    Sorry, but you have no legal option other than e-mail all customers acquired from Lewis informing them of the situation.

    You could try e-mailing only the ones you know to be EU/UK citizens, but if you make a mistake and miss any, then you will still be violating the law. It's safest to e-mail everybody.

    Come on man, please. Step back. Arguing here will only make things worse. I still want you to succeed, but you have to stop falling back into this or the drama will just get worse.

    Worse? This is entertaining. Well delete all these accounts and start fresh. Solve everyone's problems.

    Thats gonna be fun to watch!

    Agree! Just sent first batch of notices to accounts

    Didn't get one.

    If their service is active and they chargeback without popping a ticket telling us then yes it's marked as fraud. If they tell us then no. If we terminate the account then no.

    Idk why this is so complicated I've already explained this. The system checks for active service and if there's a chargeback it'll terminate the service then file a fraud. If we terminate the service then it's not active...

    You keep asking the same questions then get upset I don't keep answering them. Then complain you don't have time. You're not very good at time management. No wonder why you charge so little and still don't have time to deal with actual problems

    No, that's all good. Thanks for confirming that is still your policy.

    @VeloxMedia
    Can you please answer these last 2 questions? You skipped a page past them, so I presume you must have overlooked them.

    Can you confirm again whether you believe these people filing chargebacks are or are not your customers?

    Final question, one that I haven't asked before...
    If you terminate the service of someone who bought one of these deals and hasn't read this thread or discord, and then they chargeback because the service was terminated without any notifications, do you believe that to be fraud as well?

    You're too busy remember.

    Yes, I'm about to finish up for the day, so it'd be nice to know these answers before I go.

    The people filing these chargebacks for the LET deals - are they your customers? I believe you previously said you don't consider them to be.

    Why would someones service be terminated without notification? Even when we terminate or suspends them it notifies them.

    OK, so you're going to send them an e-mail confirming that the service is being terminated. That's good news, at least they will know what's happening. When that happens, and they file a chargeback, do you plan to report them all as fraud?

    How many times do I have to keep explaining the same thing over again?

    Just once. You haven't ever answered the second question. This is the third time now that I've asked it, but you still haven't answered it. It's quite a simple question:

    When you cancel the services of the customers that joined under Lewis, and they file a chargeback, do you plan to report them all as fraud?

    I keep explaining the process. you just don't understand it. Why is it so hard for you to understand. Re-read the 110 pages for your answers you seek

    You have never answered this question because I have never asked it before (although this is the fourth time now you have failed to answer it). There are no answers to be found in previous pages.

    Previously you have said you have marked everybody as fraud if they did a chargeback but hadn't informed you.

    If want to know what happens after you cancel all of the LET users who bought while Lewis was selling, and who you don't consider customers. When you cancel their services, a significant number will probably chargeback due to the cancelled contract with Lewis. Do you plan to flag all of those chargebacks as fraud.

    A simple yes or no is sufficient.

    I've explained in great detail how the process works on how we are noticed if a chargeback occurs and if it's marked fraud or not. Done this multiple times.

    You keep asking the same questions in different ways that are all explained by the simple process. So if you're confused please review all 110 pages and pull all my info I've already given then compile it, because it's in there multiple times.

    What? Sticker? Where?

    I'm almost caught up from page ~50, where I left for a couple days.

    I'm still in the discord, so here's a screenshot for you :-)

    Also, here's a message saying Velox is cancelling all LET services.

    Apologies if the information is out of date. Apparently things are still in flux, which as we all know is one characteristic everyone hopes for in a service provider.

    Good thing I was wearing one of my bestest outfits!

    You have 100x more of a case in suing LET because they facilitated the transaction by approving Lewis as a provider.

    Now he's trying to divert focus to LET ownership/management itself. Sounds like he is now trying to invite a ban at this stage of the failing scam.

    If LET does that, hopefully they will also ban all the associated logins that have been used in this scam/attempted additional scam as well. (A little log review will clearly reveal their interconnection -- common VPNs and maybe even some more telling slip-ups in the heat of the moment.)

    The only character he won't truly focus his venom on is "Lewis" for some reason. You know, the guy who became exhausted from collecting all the money from those Tom Harper-pimped BF pre-paid annual deals before he even paid his January monthly server renewals.

    A Gold Star for the first person to correctly figure out why that is.

    A little while ago when it was "Andrew" that posted on the VeloxMedia account. I asked @DP an extremely simple question. Was the geo location different vs the one supposedly behind the "Eric" personality. Didn't get an answer.

    I think this has been an exercise in data mining, coercion (remember the 1000 bucks to fix a ddos issue?), high effort trolling and outright attempting to rug pull once it's a little too late. Along with the emotional powered threats of culling everyone who came from LET (because the majority called it out and we're not happy with the unprofessional behavior).

    I still think for the betterment of everyone. A ban should happen now, triggering the culling so everyone capable can do charge backs/disputes now rather than later. Anyone who paid in crypto is obviously shit out of luck. Of course this thread would explode with activity and then people can start raising complaints with the relevant bodies as the evidence is all in this wonderful 100 plus large thread.

    People should chargeback. We're terminating LET orders

    So much legal implications with this statement....

    And I paid with cryptocurrency. :/

    May i ask you, and don't get me wrong, that's why you still support this provider? that you can't even ask for a chargeback?
    I believe everyone here wanted what was best for him and the business, but his attitude led everyone to start complaining. He is still lying for costumers, we cannot see any transparency in here.

    @forest ... What's the money you'd be out of when this thing collapses?

    Not too much (and my costs are spread around ~35 VPSes at the moment). It's around $50 I think, but I'm also on a tight budget and every dollar counts. So all I can hope for is that Eric does the right thing and isn't gullible enough to fall for the taunts.

    Alright, I feel you. That's serious money for some people.
