Thanks for that - I'm sure a number of people will find this very useful

I'm glad you think so. If you need proof I suggest searching google or ripp of report.com

Theres tons of complaints.
*including one I saw about eddie buying 3 vb licenses with his customers cc *

google is always a good source for things like this. Found me a scammer before making a deal. Saved me $130.

Thanks for the heads up on hostparlor

As rule Google has as good as bad ones reviews. I have to say that info you have provided might be useful for someone. But yoyu need to prove it and also need to give all proves in such kind thereads.
Good luck.

I would like to state a few things, i have other things to do besides chase down false reports on the internet... Like customers to take care of. this person has been going forum to forum trying to kill our popularity and all it is doing is bringing us more hits. i would LOVE to see the proof that he has, considering if you take a look at our site we only take paypal and mail in orders. We never take a credit card manually.... anyways, out of time gotta go... if anyone has any questions please email me at eddie@hostparlor.com

Wizkid49, would it be possible to see some evidence of the scams?

I've Googled it and brought up a few things:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/...off0283802.htm
http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/s....php?t=2196917
http://www.webhostingstuff.com/company/HostParlor.html

These certainly look like different people and even WebHostingStuff says the company may be fraudulent. However, I can see that such "reports" may be fabricated out of revenge or due to sales tactics.

I also think it's quite a serious charge against the company, so there should be evidence to support your words, otherwise it can't be posted like that.

That is correct. He is also banned @ Freewebspace.net as well as namepros.com Which had nothing to do with me.

I am not out to get him. As for the proof unfortuntly I was using an webbased messanager at the time and it did not keep an im logg. I am well paid and taken care of at my new job. I have no reason to slander him. I do not feel his actions by threatening my boss is appropriate nor professional. Therefor do your research. http://www.namepros.com/warnings-and...or-beware.html is another thread about him being horriable. Not done by me as my username is MyspacePromoS on NP. I will not stand down as this is unethical.

Thank you for your input. I believe the moral of this is to always research your host before you go any further and purchase from them.

The moral of this is that there are numerous hosts out there so make sure you choose one that suits you and has a good reputation.

For further tips on choosing a host, I highly recommend users visit my thread here.

I'm now locking this thread to prevent any conflict.
