Hey,

Someone has signed up with the apparent host name of ik-out-f136.google.com - is this for real?

Have tried to ring them but no answer, but they've paid just over $450, could it be that they found the site through google etc... ?

Is there anything else suspicious about what they signed up for?

Hey,

Not really, they paid $159.99 for the server then added $300 credit to their account.

:eek3: I'd say run with it and keep an eye on the account, although wait for a chargeback.

No complaints from me. Good google bot, maybe, just maybe you should all be nice to Mr. Google so that you get sent payments from it at GOOGLE'S EXPENSE!

EDIT:

Just though, it can't be a bot because it replies to tickets ;l

maybe someone is using IE and they changed the hostname to show as a Google Bot?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and forget about that question you just posted above without bashing you really hard. How can a google bot pay via paypal? Can you RE-READ the title of the thread? You are inquiring about a hostname, I just said the hostname is for a google bot.

I didn't say the bot was paying via paypal or purchasing anything. Behind each machine there is a man. Before talking, you should think twice.

I'm sure Google provide free wireless access to the internet in some parts of the USA. So that might be why it's showing up as Google.

Hey,

As suspected by someone above, it turned out to be a charge back about 3 weeks ago.

Kindest Regards
