    Horrible Situation I am in.... PLEASE give advice.

    Ok so a guy I know runs a hosting business... And he constantly lies about his services to customers to sway them to buy.
    Here is an example.

    We recently have invested in new servers. These server's should do the trick for all of our clients and many more to come. The new Dell's are lightning fast. Each server has atleast 2GB of memory. ViBerz is proud to announce that they have started a reseller plan. You can view the plan by clicking read more...

    I know for a fact he hasn't bought ANY servers....and he buys his space from ebay.

    I feel obligated to do something about his false advertising, but on the other hand, I don't want to because he is somebody I know.....hmmmm??

    Mcdesign is just out to get me because I used to be his partner until I caught him stealing money from me. I would like him to leave me alone with the harassments in the forum. He has like 10 posts that have many flase statements in them! He says I buy from eBay which isn't true at all! He says that I ripped an eBay TOS when Infact I didn't! he says that I am only established for 2 months when the website has been up for 3 Viberz has been together for 7! He has stolen money from me and has stolen domain names paid for by me. He has also been harassing me in MSN!

    The website is 3 months old as stated in posts before I sold webspace locally not on the net. Viberz is a registered business.
    I don't see why MarvelHost is a problem.

    Very interesting, Marvelhost is registered with web-xperts.com. A well known seller on eBay. Here is one of the many threads about this company http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread...ght=webxperts.

    *** Vito rents out Famous Players' Popcorn maker. Artashes orders a couple of Molson trucks to his door. ***

    The only thing I don't understand is that the thread is named "I'm in a Horrible Situation..." I don't get why you say it is YOu in this situation. Seems like you just know of a person who is in that "horrible" situation. Not you.

    I didn't buy from eBay or Web-xperts.com! Sorry! Im lovin all of these popcorn and beer saying though. But I haven't had downtime in over 1 month. I thought wev-xperts was 85% uptime from what i have read in earlier posts.

    I usually don't get involved but what does 'not having downtime in over 1 month' have to do with anything?
