    Emails don't just get lost. They are sent just sometimes lost in spam filters. When you are back home i would like to speak with you on MSN please.

    Don't be so stupid. No one "deserves" to get scammed. It was very late when I paid for that so nothing much was going through my head.

    Ok,
    Some people have filed disputes. You will not recieve the server until you cancel the dispute. I assure you, paypal will not pay you under an act.

    You must cancel the claim or you will not recieve the server.

    Thanks,
    This is for our safety. You have limited the account because 2 people filed and we cannot send/recieve. Cancel the claims now.

    Here is my Chat log with the seller just a few mins ago :-

    (7:45:44 PM) asHagg: Hello.
    (7:45:53 PM) iceland server: Hi.
    (7:46:22 PM) iceland server: Ok, do you need to clarify anything?
    (7:46:35 PM) asHagg: Yes.. Can you give me a Test IP ?
    (7:46:46 PM) iceland server: I'd have to set it up.
    (7:46:47 PM) iceland server: 2 minutes
    (7:47:02 PM) iceland server: http://72.55.156.152/
    (7:48:00 PM) asHagg: this is for one of the servers which you're selling ?
    (7:48:05 PM) iceland server: Yes.
    (7:48:11 PM) iceland server: Its a live5hosting server incorporated
    (7:48:23 PM) iceland server: Has a few people on it at the moment i'll have to reinstall the OS wanted for you though;
    (7:48:34 PM) asHagg: and this server is hosted where ?
    (7:48:38 PM) iceland server: Iceland
    (7:48:41 PM) iceland server: You want the datacentre?
    (7:49:56 PM) asHagg: yes..
    (7:50:10 PM) iceland server: http://dataislandia.com/
    (7:52:40 PM) asHagg: Are you sure that's the correct IP ?
    (7:52:54 PM) iceland server: Im sure. People have said that its located in different places.
    (7:53:03 PM) iceland server: But i am the owner of it and it is definately located in iceland
    (7:53:16 PM) asHagg: it traces to Canada ....
    (7:53:23 PM) iceland server: I know.
    (7:53:31 PM) iceland server: I think its a glitch with iplocator.com
    (7:53:37 PM) iceland server: Its definately in Iceland, i asssure oyu
    (7:53:50 PM) iceland server: You'll have a 16-day money back guarentee
    (7:53:54 PM) iceland server: If not satisfied
    (7:53:57 PM) asHagg: since there are so many fraud complaints on the DP forums .. I'd like to get the server delivered before I pay for it ... I have the server and you can have instant payment.
    (7:54:05 PM) iceland server: No, sorry.
    (7:54:38 PM) iceland server: You can have your money back if your not satisfied.

    If you think were going to scam, then file a dispute if you dont get your server, and paypal will get your money back.
    (7:55:15 PM) asHagg: PayPal does not refund anything for Digital Goods...
    (7:55:21 PM) iceland server: They do.
    (7:55:29 PM) iceland server: You can say something like
    (7:55:42 PM) iceland server: "I purchased music cds and it never came" etc
    (7:55:53 PM) iceland server: They will get your money back. If you dont want to purchase, i'll find other people
    (7:56:08 PM) asHagg: anyways, The IP is from the iWeb DataCenter is Quebec, Canada. I have plenty of servers there already.. I'm going to email them and figure out the truth ..
    (7:56:17 PM) iceland server: Alright.
    (7:56:20 PM) iceland server: Thanks anyway.
    (7:56:56 PM) asHagg: thanks. I'll wait for someone to post something positive in the thread before I jump in.
    (7:57:01 PM) iceland server: ok

    The IP he gave me traces to the iWeb DataCenter in Canada. I'm not sure this is legit.. caution advised.
    If someone has infact gotten their server, I'd be more than happy to edit my post.

    I have emailed iWeb to figure out what this is all about.

    regards,
    ashagg

    now i see the logs now i believe he`s 100% a scammer he will not give the server before the payment because he will scam you that`s the whole point if he has access to these servers he can clearly take control of these servers if he`s the owner of them if you do not pay

    This dude is a complete scammer look at this thread below..

    This is true dp is full of alot of scammers, but there are alot of true and honest providers here as well. You must do your research on them before you buy. Check there other threads, there feed back, and google, wait for reviews to come in about the product. Use common sence if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.

    Yeah reforcer no one got the servers you liar. Also, i have spoken to consumer direct, my local police station, my bank and paypal, they all suggested filing a dispute. And as i know i can only do this once. I will not cancel the dispute until i get a refund or a server. Also unblock us and we can work this out, the way which doesn't involve the police tracing your IP. It's happened to me before, so don't say it's not possible.

    Is there any moderation in the Buy/Sell/Trade?

    Seriously, posts like these are obvious scams designed to bilk people of their money. Someone close this thread and ban this guy. He gives a bad name to the legit sellers here.

    I've seen scams like this time and time again over the years. The seller makes outrageous claims and too good to be true offers and then collects the cash and disappears.

    You are not going to find a $30/mo. dedicated server anywhere, PERIOD! And certainly not one with cPanel, given cPanel (even in volume) costs us, the legit server farms, more than that $30/mo.

    I cannot believe people fall for this crap.

    It goes above and beyond that. I've been selling dedicated servers for over 11 years now. I can tell you first hand that there is no way, with any type of volume anyone anywhere can sell them that low.

    Power, heating/cooling, space, parts, software licensing... Forget about payroll, lights, gas, office supplies, insurance and rent...Just power/cooling/software alone are more than $30/mo.

    Also, with a test IP from an Canadian based ISP, it is blatantly evident that this guy is not on the level and these servers are no closer to Iceland than my nuts are to the moon.

    There are a hell of a lot of good guys on this forum that have legitimate businesses and offer great service. Posts like this ruin this for those people, as well as the consumers.

    In reality, I'm not sure I would even want a client that would fall for something like this. People looking for deals like that almost deserve to get burned.

    VALUE, should be your number one goal when it comes to a service based product. VALUE! Not price. VALUE.

    Good service, support, and reliability are VALUE items. Honesty, integrity and longevity. Those are VALUE items.

    We offer some of the lowest priced wholesale and retail dedicated servers in the industry. We do this because we have been around long enough to have gained the experience to develop a system that works. All this, while still providing VALUE!

    There are others here that offer VALUE as well. The ones that do don't offer you the world for nothing. We offer a fair, honest and affordable service comparable to the VALUE that should be expected.

    If someone where offering new Porshe's for 10% of their cost, would you jump at the chance? I'd be a bit suspect myself.

    Ya sure? :D

    I can't believe people actually went for this, but the thing is that it happens. There is not enough moderation in this section and so mods either don't see, or don't have enough knowledge of the hosting industry and pricing to moderate correctly. We need someone who has proper knowledge and can deal with this stuff :(

    So what sort of service level agreement can you offer if you have a "day job"?

    Are you a reseller with backup from the main hosting company?
