i was hosted with hosturbo for a couple of months, i left in feb 2002 and moved to another host.

i emailed then a few times since i moved telling them to cancel my account but I never got a reply. i continued to email them over the next couple of months.

anyway, a week ago they billed my credit card.

i havent been using their services since Feb and Im incensed that they havent replied AND took money out of my credit card!!!

I emailed them about 5 times since I found out what happened and still no reply. Where can i go to for help.

These people are crooks!! They should be shut down.

:eek: Some hosts just unbelievably suck with there pathefic melancholy! :rolleyes:

Well posting the address to the site would be start... It would at least show off the hosts bad name on the forum

LOL, i thought hosturbo went out of business a few months ago? Koolguru owner of hosturbo used to post on this forum. Not sure if he does anymore. :eek:

ugh!!! fack!! if theyre closed down then why are they still billing people??!!!!!

useless sons of biatches

that would be a real good question... wouldnt it?

I sent them an email a couple of weeks ago (a pre-sales type of thing) because someone here said they weren't responding to their emails.

I got no response as well.

If you have a shotgun, find the owner and take your money back, or do a chargeback :)

Man.. :-( NO respond at all !!
NO money back..and now i´ll get billed for the next 10 years ?

How can i contac them ?


Matt

Get them closed down instead :emlaugh:

Find out if they have dedicated their own servers or if they are hosted then work your way around.

well if they are in india than forget the shotgun advice ( plane ticket is expensive) and simply do a chargeback.

Yes, they are also hosted with Burstnet (dedicated servers)..

Well thats what i last heard (when they were in business)..

Hmmm..there has been an increase in Indian failure sites. No offense to any Indians, but I would advise most people from using a lot of Indian sites. We should compile a list of those legit sites.

lol Jam ;)

I think you're going to get flamed for this one :rolleyes:

Yeah.. I'd retract that statement before this thread gets filled with hundreds of angry Indians who run perfectly successful and legitimate businesses...

For every Indian company that fails I bet there are 10 American companies that fail. :yawn:

Probably true since the USA has 98 million more internet users then India. http://stylusinc.com/internet_potential_india.htm

lol, great analysis slabhost but.. i think he means in every business aspect, not online internet related..

ok so how do i do a charge back?? any ideas anyone??

ATTENTION!!

I remember reading someone post (matt's i think) saying that he doesnt know how to stop them from billing him.

well i just found out..

if you can find the last email you recieved from paysystems.com with the amount that they deducted from your account, you should also find a link..

http://secure.paysystems.com/cardholder

click on the link and it asks you to enter credit card details & the amount billed. when you fill that in and click submit it should take you to a page that has your billing history. you should also see a link that says something like stop recurring billing..

Thats how you stop it.

I emailed paysystems asking for a refund, I'll let you guys know what happens.

Cheers & thanks for all your replies
Arlynne

PaySystems most always does what the customer asks. ;)
If you still need to do a charge back; just contact your credit card company. They all seem to be a little different on how they do it. But, most do it pretty easy.

Arlynne,

You are not guaranteed to get your cash back by asking Paysystems. Best thing is to contact your bank and demand a chargeback then Paysystems have to comply. It hurts HostTurbo too as they will get penalised.

You know where to get me if you need help in this matter. ;)

Thanks guys!!!

Paysystems just charged me for a hosturbo account I had purchased right before they shut down last year! The worst part is my credit card was right under it's limit so my CC company charged me another $29 for going over! I called paysystems and they are taking it off. They were very nice about it, but didn't care when I tried telling them hosturbo has been out of business for quite some time and has been doing this to customers still. I expect it will continue with other users.

That could have been on PaySystems though. Seems I heard from them that they were collecting some recurrings that were supposed to be captured last November.

Nice thread resurection though.

By the way . . . . . Anybody seen koolguru?
