When is the next batch of deletion happening?

Slow rollout of them over time so the renewals/deletions aren't all on the same day. All will have 7 day notice.

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.

The thing is, I still want him to succeed. I'm even happy to purchase upgrades since the service itself is really nice. I want this to go well, and I want him to do the right thing.

You're sounding delusional. Do I need to perform a full psychiatric assessment?🤔

That's why I told you to get a lawyer and someone that could give input as you draft your message/replies, as it's in your best interest.
Nevertheless, I hope you learned something

We have legal. Yeah I learned how entertaining this can be and it's very hard to explain laws and business to people who aren't involved in it. This forum is completely different than the enterprise world in used to with educated people and professionals that are used to contact law and agreements and policies.

I'm amazed there wasn't a single person who did any due diligence on Lewis or apparently most companies on this site. I've never heard of any of this type of situation where things are ran with literally zero review. Not even a Google search to make sure it's a real company.

They didn't allow me to become a customer for whatever reason. I think because of the lawsuit which makes sense.

Stop changing your stories. You're running around in circles. It has been explained here dozens of times before. It's all legal. They have a whole team of capable legal people specialiced in this stuff. You were not a customer of LET.

And why they don't want you as a customer? They don't own you an explanation for that. They can turn down an application whenever they want. Even if you've already paid, agreed to ToS that you were presented with only because they were especially created for you and are not on the website, or even if you got some credit that you've used to pay it for (but that ofcourse won't be returned).

I'm here only for the entertainment. The sheer fun of it. Please keep feeding me. I'm hungry.

We'll figure it out soon. You guys should be able to find the filings by now

OK, you had your share again of being able to list all the things you find unprofessional about others. You know, normal people who don't always do this for a living but for the sheer fun of it. And take a gamble every now and then.

Now do the same about you and your organisation you are bragging about everytime. That sounds fair, right?

Still you and your lawyers don't have a real knowledge of how the GDPR works. You say you are compliant to every rule/law you have to comply with. Surprise, according to one of the top AVG people that I happen to know you definitely don't comply with that one. And that one is mandatory in one of the countries you do business in - heck, you even have servers there.

Also there is a thing about how you should do business - best practices. You almost ignore every rule in that book. I know, they're not mandatory, they're not laws, but they are based on years of experience for creating and maintaining a succesfull business.

I've read your statement "trust is earned" here before. You do everything to not comply with that.

Oh my. Well, Lewis Edwards was the previous owner of VeloxMedia. He sold it to Eric Banks, but allegedly only transferred the infrastructure, not contracts. This is why Eric is free to delete whatever he wants without compensation. He claims it's between us and Lewis, not us and him.

I'm not a member of that transaction, it's between you guys.

I was planning on keeping your service active because it's fair but so much drama and issues that caused 100+ pages I'm just terminating and keeping all non LET plans.

Just look how my company is registered, part of ICO and everything and yet no one else has checked a single other company on here.

Also how Im being attacked for GDPR and yet have 30 days. And yet no one else seems to have GDPR and someone else literally violated all my discord GDPR and yet no one cares.

Uh? Your discord GDPR?
There is no GDPR for companies, it's only about PERSONAL data.

Yeah like when customers post screenshots of their invoices with their UK address on it in our private discord then he makes it public on his website?

Wasn't private if people could generate invites for the server
Also if you have no gate keeping or any verification if they're a customer, anyone could get into your discord server from an invite.

It's not very private... and if people are posting invoices without any redaction, that's on them. If you're not deleting those and telling them off, that is on you.

That isn't at all how GDPR laws work also I don't own discord and not responsible for the data on there ...

Yes, it's different world. But that's the world your company trying to venture. That is why beside legal, having someone who have experience conversing with these type of clientele would smoothen the process.
On the due diligence, people went here for cheap servers. And they're too busy figuring out server specs, prices, yabs, etc while neglecting background research. Afterall, server with similar specs hosted by top 100 hosting company would cost at least twice as much. So, if a hosting went deadpool 1/2 of the prepaid duration, it's still a good deal.

People will accept the bust since the server annual cost ($5-$20) is roughly 1-5 meals. It's not a big deal.

This is similar to any industries. The utmost bottom tier vendor are not very reliable. Because vendor who offer better service would add premium, at least 2-3% than the cheapest option.
So, if your company are not exiting this market segment, I hope you could offer good deals with healthy profit margin and service

And harmed the reputation of the BF threads, since that's how Lewis scammed people out of money before disappearing. That's one reason I'm surprised that the admins are still waiting.

Although there is a thin possibility that it wasn't his goal and, after selling all those plans, he decided to sell the company to someone else and hasn't looked back since.

We'll honor all non let agreements and take all these massive promos and offer them to new customers on other sites.

Please kindly let us know on which ones! (sincere, no sarcasm)

Right now any product in our system that says LET on it is getting terminated with a 7 day notice. So you can check your account to see if you're has that.

We already allocated all these servers plus just brought our own purchased hardware which is 4x what lewis had combined. So tons and tons of deals about to flood other sites and current customers.

Gotta figure out how to use that giveaway bot on our discord and some other promo software

Does this mean that any product that literally has the string "LET" in the name will be terminated?

Yes

But products that do not have that string will not be terminated just because they were purchased by someone who has a LET account, correct? I only made my account a few days ago anyway, but had a service with VeloxMedia for over a month.

The real question you should be asking is not whether they will let you keep your service, but whether you can ever trust them going forward. And if you can't trust them, why would you host anything of importance there?
