do you have any relation to gate2vn.net?
because your site is still under construction...means you look pretty new and my partner would rather be at companies with a reputation.

LOL... We know what the sitename is. We DO NOT use email @hotmail, @yahoo... or something like that to make transactions with customers. We own our name, and use it for transactions. Dont put your money to the air.
to mods: can you please ban that member from the forums? thanks

Hmm... why would he do that? Lol. Im not sure what hed even get out of it because I dont think anyone would just send money to his paypal account since your site is up and they would just order it through your site. Well, whatever haha. But if I see him anywhere else Ill warn customers about him.

Like Gate2vn said, he should be banned inmediately.

**gate2vn** · May 23rd, 2005, 19:46

I am not sure either, but it makes me remember to an old thread: another member complains why he hasnt received anything after making payment.... trying to find out that thread now

**gate2vn** · May 23rd, 2005, 19:55

it's here http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=67892. I wonder if it's the same person? he also offered customer $40 off if prepaid 3 months. However, this time, he's not our sales

**XTR Host** · May 23rd, 2005, 19:58

Very interesting. Same sort of case except this Gates guy hasnt tried to sell anything yet (I dont think). But its a little suspicious with some guy just kind of advertising for you.... when you dont know who it is lol.

wow it is really big scum . Doesn't seem to be big but this guys can do this overand over to con people by using our names. It should be dealt with radical ways (We could hang them in town center so it would be a good example to other con artists.). Day by day the net turning in to the wild wild west.

actually, he offered a Celeron 2.4GHz box with cPanel / 100mbps port at $80/month, that's we never have. At 2.4, we have dozen XP2400 boxes, but not Celeron, and not at such low price. I appreciate someone advertising our services, but think again, if you are customer, you agree with his offer, how he can deliver server to customer?

...I like the hanging him in the town center idea.

**vesix** · May 23rd, 2005, 21:06

Wow this is new. He is just saying to offer services just for the money! lol

Thanks big time for the warning!

**colinstillwell** · May 24th, 2005, 17:23

Me and my partner received an offer from him and were going to order, looks like he nearly got us. Your thread has warned us, and I couldnt thank you any more!
