Give this dude his money back. Jesus.

I don't believe Jesus has anything to do with this server.

At this point, his intervention is required.

So... it's his fault? Does he work for (or with) Terabit?

No but when your $2000 is in limbo, and the provider and the website allowing the provider to advertise doesn't intervene for months, jesus may be your last hope personally my last hope is a bottle of JD and cocaine

Try shrooms instead. Maybe with a JD combo. Recommended.

@EndlessGravity said: We've seen providers like @antonpa get their provider tag stripped because of 3-4 loud users paying less than $7 per month using the forum to pressure them into responding to tickets.

@zGato has something like 30 expensive VPSes with them, and I've paid them probably over $1000. And none of them wanted his provider tag stripped. All we wanted is for him to deal with his automated abuse system malfunctioning. And even with all that, I still like @antonpa and enjoy his services. Please don't make assumptions.

Update:

After I made this post, they offered me a partial refund, which I declined. I preferred taking the temporary server over losing money on a partial refund.

However, when I logged into their portal, I discovered that the temporary server was in a different location from the one I originally requested. So, during the entire time they were preparing this temporary server, which took over two weeks, not once did they think to ask me whether a different location would be acceptable. Instead, I had to find out on my own.

I rejected the temporary server because the location is extremely important to me. The main reason I paid $2,000 for this server in the first place is the location. Otherwise, I could easily get similar specs from another provider for around $700.

I then tried once again to get a refund in crypto, the same way I originally paid them, but they refused. They simply won't issue a crypto refund under any circumstances.

At that point, I told them to forget about the refund. Since everything apparently has to be done on their terms, I just want the original server I paid for. Nothing else.

And guess what? It's now been an entire week since my last message, and they haven't responded.

After more than two months of waiting, multiple failed promises, an unsuitable temporary server, and a refused refund, I'm still left with absolutely nothing. Honestly, I don't know what else I'm supposed to do at this point.

ATP shouldn't there host tag be suspended? @jbiloh this is not failed communications it's compounded lies to delay a deadline that was already way past due. even with this thread, and them admitting fault and multiple week-prolonged delays they still have not done as promised.

@SilverCreek guess it's no longer a joke I shall @ you daily until resolved since your support is incapable of self-thought.

Regardless of ToS it doesn't apply there has been no service given when does this become a straight scam? even if they deploy the server in another 2 months, that's 4 months. OP could of invested this money, or used it elsewhere revoking someone the right of access to 2,000 USD for this period of time should deem punishment from this platform they are an active seller.

no,he wont ban here if Pulsedmedia n DeluxHost still happily scam people here. this place create to attract more scammer. admin wont do anything as long they pay fees

SilverCreek the next Calin? The details are suspiciously similar

At least Calin was desperately trying to find out how to unfreeze the money so he could return it (not defending him though, since it was his fault for promising to refund if anything went wrong despite having no backup plan if the money got frozen).

@seman said: no,he wont ban here if Pulsedmedia n DeluxHost still happily scam people here. this place create to attract more scammer. admin wont do anything as long they pay fees

DeluxHost isn't scamming anyone, he's just struggling with overselling. But he still refunds people. PulsedMedia, on the other hand, absolutely is. It's important to distinguish between subpar services and actual malice.

As previously stated, we have offered Leon a refund on multiple occasions, which he has repeatedly declined. That offer remains open, and we are still prepared to issue the refund should he choose to accept it.

Throughout this process, we have made consistent efforts to resolve the matter in good faith. We understand that members of this community believe Leon should be refunded, and we agree. That is precisely what we have offered to do. However, Leon has declined both the proposed refunds and the service delivery options.

Leon remains able to respond directly to his support ticket so that we can arrange and process the refund. Unfortunately, rather than engaging with us to reach a resolution, the responses in the ticket have consisted of repeated refusals, accompanied by statements indicating his intention to post further negative updates publicly.

We remain willing to resolve this matter amicably and provide the refund that has already been offered. However, we believe there is a clear distinction between someone genuinely seeking a resolution and someone repeatedly declining reasonable attempts to reach one while using the prospect of further public criticism as leverage.

They might be a legit provider but sounds a like typical scam.............

he's definitely struggling with this part, go catch up on the most recent sale thread.

@forest said: It's important to distinguish between subpar services and actual malice.

i'm not sure i agree that being a greedy twat isn't actual malice, but opinions may differ.

in his defense, knuckleheads are still buying up his units and begging for restock even though it should be obvious that just means provisioning x more customers on the existing (struggling) servers.

We've offered him refunds, including via crypto. He has refused refunds on multiple occasions already, and we continue to offer them. He's refused service delivery. He's refused temporary machines.

We have not been routinely engaging in this thread as we're trying to resolve it with the client directly in his ticket which is the appropriate manner to do it in.

Simple question: Did you offer him a full refund using the same type of cryptocurrency without KYC?

If you did, that changes things.

Can't you just share screenshots showing you offered him a full refund to his original payment method and where he rejected it? I find it extremely hard to believe he would turn down the offer. If he did, for whatever reason, then surely that's on him, and we can simply move on from all of this.

This thread is one of the reasons Terabit and any of its subsidiaries are on my black friday list of providers I wont touch. Actually, in general not even BF only.

The shitty acquisition processes and this shitshow.

What I learned from SilverCreek is 3 things.

Hes a liar

He cant fulfil his promises

He cant take responsibility for shit

For number 2 though, im more lenient. I know shit can happen, but its the fact that he doesnt take responsibility for it that pisses me off.

To @SilverCreek

Youre always acquiring vps companies, but you refuse to refund a customer $2k.

Youre going to great lengths to fuck your rep up just for a measly 2k? Because you dont want to refund the customer in crypto, and you dont wanna fully refund him (aka saving a few hundred dollars or whatever)? Is that really worth your rep? The client shouldnt even need to be arguing with you for a full refund. A competent provider would own up to their mistake and provide a FULL REFUND.

I wouldnt be surprised you hikes prices or randomly swaps black friday hardware for dogshit when it fails or something. Cause thats shit youve already done.

He runs rigged giveaways

He threatens LowEndTalk with Lawsuit

Curtis Gervais, is a general all round crook.

Let's stop pretending this guy has changed. Curtis Gervais (SilverCreek) has been running the exact same playbook for over a decade.

2013: Banned on LET under CurtisG (and aliases ajones, datafrogs, Robert_es) after taking prepayment cash for hardware he never delivered. He threw a pity party, claimed he was "quitting hosting," and apologized right before his 2014 arrest for the Brian Krebs swatting case.

https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/9505/curtisgs-offer/p1
https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/9536/a-letter-from-curtisg/p1

2021-2024: He slinked back into the community via Geekasaurus and Packet Rabbit, worked at Tempest, steals from his employer and ends up signing court documents admitting he stole company code and customer data to spin up rival clones with Rene Roosen. Once this is exposed, he threatens LET with a Lawsuit and then tries to do everything he can to have any mention of it taken offline. He doesn't want his customers to know they're being taken for a ride and most of the money he's scamming from them are going to his legal bills while he plays stupid and says its not his fault.

https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/217470/curtis-gervais-wdmg-silvercreek-threatens-lowendtalk-with-lawsuit
2025-2026: Terabit/SilverCreek acquires Enzonix, immediately wipes customer servers, and leaves support tickets hanging for months under the excuse of "no hardware." Yet, at that exact same time, they were heavily advertising 7950X3D builds for new customers. Terabit conveniently "acquires" LoafHosts, and those "lost" servers magically reappeared being resold.

https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/217636/looking-for-server-with-ddos-protection

Packet Rabbit --> Bytefilter --> Terabit / SilverCreek. It's always the same shell companies that he renames and parks, the same prepay scams, and the same excuses when he gets caught.

Just look at all the accounts he's used so far:
https://lowendtalk.com/profile/CurtisG
https://lowendtalk.com/profile/datafrogs
https://lowendtalk.com/profile/Robert_es
https://lowendtalk.com/profile/ajones
https://lowendtalk.com/profile/wdmg
https://lowendtalk.com/profile/silvercreek

Why does the moderation team keep letting him multi account and advertise here when his entire history is built on scamming prepays, swatting schools and businesses, stealing from employers, and ripping off customers? He's already been caught three times doing this, he definitely shouldn't have a host tag, he shouldn't even be allowed on this forum as he was perm banned years ago.

deluxhost is an overenthusiastic noob, more irresponsible than scammer.

His actions result form reckless excitement not malicious intent. Unlike @silvercreek terabit.
