Former HostRail owner caught on the middle of another scam
topic link: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion...th-february/p1
Saw this on Reddit and i thought you guys should know
_ceol from reddit tells us:
"So HostRail was some VPS provider who shut the company down after grabbing a bunch of orders, and now it looks like the same guy came back under a different name but kept himself so closely tied to his old identity that my computer-illiterate grandfather could have found him. This is him under a different account (but with the same digits that are in his Facebook URL...). He doesn't even change his typing style.
Anyway, later on it looks like he comes in with his actual LET username and a couple more accounts. The users agree he's doing it in an attempt to derail the thread, which he actually starts to do by first saying one of the users who pointed out his connection was himself, then going on a rant about how it was the quick-to-label behavior of the forum as to why the original admin left. Oh, and this.
This was like gourmet drama: short-lived but delicious. The LET users should have ignored his rants and kept posting about how he was the same person."
What are your thoughts?
If you guys believe this is another scam from Constantinos then do the others a favor and post this to your blogs/twitter. HostRail was one of the biggest company to do a runner.

Some people need to be taken out back and beaten with a shovel.

Ok that is a ton of drama. Thanks for the heads up but let's keep the drama to a minimum here.
