    He's doing it in batches of 100 over the next week or so because "there's no rush". I suspect he just wants to punish people who bought LET deals by making them wait. I think this whole debacle really shook him up.

    He's gonna need a new name, brand, logo, and maybe a new career.

    Wouldn't help him as he needs to stop contracting himself every 2 seconds 🤣

    That's why is all doesn't make sense - Why take over a brand, trash the brand, and then intend to continue to operate under it? My money is on it all being 'Lewis', just impersonating different characters. Too much of what VeloxMedia posted is absolute BS. 'Lewis' just registered a US company from the UK.

    I assume the same. Lewis registered a new company and tried to get away. With the money he got it was easy to afford registering remotely a new company in US, with the purpose of transferring everything and then get away with it. I believe he's now scared because people fight back with chargebacks.

    We can go deeper, I don't think 'Lewis' is real either!

    Also: Any reviews on @VeloxMedia guys?

    It'd be interesting to know if that was a different product in the background, or the same one and these guys are going to getting suddenly terminated as well.

    Friday 26th December 2025

    To Whom It May Concern:
    We hereby issue this formal request that, within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of this notice, the following actions be taken:
    1. Reinstatement of Provider Tag Membership and credit for all days during which the membership was suspended.
    2. Locking of the post titled “Velox Media under new management” by a moderator to prevent further commentary.
    3. Publication of a pinned statement on the main page of your website for a minimum of fourteen (14) consecutive days, affirming that VeloxMedia is an approved and recommended provider on your platform, together with any additional explanation deemed appropriate.
    Please be advised that VeloxMedia has recently undergone a corporate transition and is now owned by Velox Media Inc., 301 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, USA. This transition has not resulted in any changes to the products or services offered.
    It is our position that the suspension of our provider tag has caused significant confusion within the community and has resulted in substantial actual and reputational harm to our corporation. On December 25, 2025, VeloxMedia was subjected to a coordinated attack throughout the day. We have identified at least two individuals, who are members of your website, as being involved in this activity. Furthermore, we have documented a comment referencing a network, and within nine (9) minutes of that comment being posted, the associated subnet was added to the attack.
    In addition, we formally request your mailing address and legal contact information so that we may send a certified copy of this notice along with any additional legal documentation.
    Failure to comply with this request will result in the filing of an official complaint and the pursuit of damages to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law.

    Yeah, that is quite likely, but given that "Eric" is threatening litigation, at some point there's a good chance of having to show up in court as a real person. That's a hell of a strong play for a bluff.

    Also, it doesn't make any sense for Lewis to encourage people to chargeback rather than voluntarily offering refunds. He's looking at losing $15 per transaction in dispute fees.

    Then again, running a business at a 25% loss for 4 years as a sole-trader also doesn't make any sense either.

    But supporting your argument, it is very strange that the "Lewis" / the old owner of Veloxmedia still hasn't piped up since the 23rd, especially as @itsTomHarper has been reading the forum. I'm surprised neither want to attempt to clear their name.

    Let me put my prediction in... "Eric" will delete all plans which have "LET" in their name unless people pay him. Because he's frustrated that people here fight back and are not falling for unclear statements. His plan is already to have all the remaining people on other plans to also pay him a monthly fee to keep on using the service (they've already paid for). He just wants to scare of "LET"ters a bit more, for his own ego. But he sees here that there are way too many LET enthousiasts who didn't get a first "termination" mail just goes on with threathening everyone coming from Lewis.

    In the end only a few will pay for services, he will be calling out thousands of users on Discord, and his impersonation of Trump keeps on going while he increases the monthly fee every couple of months because "everything is so expensive and we don't have the scale or good name all due to the discissions on LET". Boohoo.

    Lewis looks real - his Instagram account has been going for a long time, and features other people from that group of companies.

    Likewise, Justin Morgan looks real and has long standing social accounts and other info about him that dates back.

    ‘Eric’ is the only character that there is no trace of whatsoever. Doubt he’s real - just a pseudonym for Justin.

My money is on it all being 'Lewis', just impersonating different characters. Too much of what VeloxMedia posted is absolute BS. 'Lewis' just registered a US company from the UK.

    Basically there are a couple of things in a 'company' as Lewis had that are interesting for a buyer:

    • Customers
    • Hardware
    • Contracts
    • Knowledge
    • Brand

    Basically the is trashing the brand, knowledge wasn't there, contracts - maybe, but he also is bla-bla-ing about "new datacenter and migrate to that one", hardware - maybe, but he also is bla-bla-ing about "more new hardware as Lewis' combined", customers - he's denying that there are customers.

    So would anyone think he really bought a company? I think either it's part of the scam or he almost got it for free...

    Is he moving the country though, or only the datacenter? If you paid for UK and now it's in Germany, I can see doing a chargeback, but if you paid for a UK VPS and it's moved from one DC in the UK to another DC in the UK, it's a bit of a stretch to demand a refund, unless the contract specified a particular datacenter.

    There are multiple law firms, other businesses, and a coworking space in the building where they list their address. I don’t think any of the law firms have been involved.

    The rent for a small office starts at $6,000 per month. That’s too high for a business that sells $4/month services. Their only realistic option in a office building like this is a virtual address or a coworking seat.

    I think the business has been sold to a narcissist spending daddy’s money, and the numbnut thinks he bought an advanced infrastructure with a solid customer base, where only a few percent comes from LET.

    In reality, he has taken over a couple of leased servers, a simple website, a WHMCS license, and has burned the main source of customers while thinking he’s the king of the world.

    It will take some time before he realizes he has fucked up.

    Well, the "To Whom It May Concern" mail is created after the DDoS incident on Christmas day (25th December). The mail is dated on Boxing day (26nd December).

    Do you really think there are law firms working for these kind of "small companies" or at all during Christmas?

    So for me it was clear, seeing the dates, that it was coming from someone with a big fantasy or AI, but not from an official lawyer.

    Feel bad for this guy. Happy to spend my charge back on some other vps for him.

    Exactly why these kind of scams piss me off.

    I mean, Its not much money for me but in some parts of the world $20 is good money.

    On the other hand, if it's much money to you, and your livelihood depends on it, I'd think twice before going into business with some random host.

    Good old time that i had almost no money, and i had a OVZ NAT server with only 256mb RAM running little projects. I feel bad for this guy too.

    Really charged or asked. And if charged: Stripe or PayPal or something else?

    If really charged, that's vital info: "Eric" categorically denied that he had access to the payment systems through the "Lewis" accounts. But only the "Lewis" accounts have been used to pay for VPSes, so if it's really charged, then it could be a proof that "Eric" has access to "Lewis" accounts for payment. If those payment gateways still work without Eric having access, he should have prevented that they could be charged and that's something he could be accounted for.
