USBHOSTING.COM VICTIMS THREAD *Drama* - GoFuckYourself.com

moniker1 · 08-01-2006, 10:45 AM

The person behind it seems to have disappeared. All of the hosted sites as well as usbhosting.com have been down for a long time now (weeks+++). He seems to be un-reachable for contact. YET THE CREDIT CARDS SEEM TO BE GETTING RE-BILLED.

I'm about to file criminal complaints with the FBI Cyber Crimes Division for fraud as well as with the Secret Service for credit card fraud.

I ask all victims of usbhosting.com and people who want to help to share relevant information on "Mike Cho" and USBhosting.com here.

This is what I have so far:

Name: Mike Cho. Not clear if the first name is an Americanized alias of his original name.

I'm glad i didn't host with him, and sorry for those of you who did. Never forget though, everybody dies one day.

pr0 · 08-01-2006, 10:57 AM

martinsc · 08-01-2006, 10:58 AM

ouch, sounds bad.

ffmihai · 08-01-2006, 11:02 AM

sig spot! :food-smil

directfiesta · 08-01-2006, 11:02 AM

can't you reach the data center where those boxes where.. you could maybe arrange a deal with them

webair · 08-01-2006, 11:10 AM

Always research who your doing business with i can't stress that enough! If the pricing seems too good to be true it most likely is. Look to partner with reputable companies with long standing relationships and stability in the industry. Ask them how long they have been in business, how many employees they have, do they own their own facilities or are they a colo shop, then follow up again and ask teh same questions, or check against the companies D & B report or get references! ASK ASK ASK!

directfiesta · 08-01-2006, 11:17 AM

seems ( again, SEEMS ... ) that he was either reselling or partner with :

Oh man, that sucks.

Another hosting company screwing its clients.

I agree with Mike and Chris completely.. If the prices sound too good to be true.. there is something shady going on.

bobby666 · 08-01-2006, 11:37 AM

When you contact them, please remind them to work on that iBill complaint for the $20K+ they owe me, which I contacted them about and documented several months ago.

tenderobject · 08-02-2006, 02:33 AM

damn

i got my first dedicated to someone who is just a reseller of layeredtech.. good hosting especially support... i did a research on them on webhostingtalk.. seems no one for the past 2 years they have been posting there had a problem with them. only positive feedbacks! hope no big problem would occur soon.. check webhostingtalk if you are shopping for virtual or dedicated hosting.

moniker1 · 08-14-2006, 09:48 AM

Im sure a lot of people got fucked by this guy. Anyway, there's still no news on him or usbhosting.

If you don't want to fax him from your own number, or don't have a fax machine, use the free service at TPC:

L0rdJuni0r · 08-14-2006, 10:22 AM

Here are some websites you can check out to see if you can get some more info on him...
