| Posted by acec, 01-29-2006, 04:40 PM | | I have recently received a new account and is the first to raise me concern in the last two years I have been selling hosting.
The domain is Pay-Pal.com and the customer set up an alias, rather worryingly, paypal.com.webscr.m8ywebhosting.co.uk pointing to pay-pal.com
There is nothing in his site at the moment so it's not major, just plain weird!
from a quick google, the site is an 'online forum for online payment systems'
Has anyone ever come across this?

|
| Posted by acec, 01-29-2006, 04:49 PM | | hmm, paid by PayPal too!
|
| Posted by mrzippy, 01-29-2006, 04:51 PM | | I would refund his money, and cancel the account. You don't need the potential problems... especially since the term "paypal" and various forms of it (like "pay-pal") are trademarked.
More then likely, it's a scam.
Try calling the credit card holder and have a chat with them....

| Posted by acec, 01-29-2006, 04:54 PM | | think you're right, looking further, PayPal have the transaction 'under review'
Definitely not right!

| Posted by NottinghamISP, 01-29-2006, 05:46 PM | | hmmm, Ive heard that domain name before,
|
| Posted by TonyB, 01-29-2006, 05:49 PM | | I would never setup an account like pay-pal.com but I guess with the transaction 'under review' lesson learned
|
| Posted by Shaw Networks, 01-29-2006, 08:19 PM | | I would do the same, I would never want my servers to be used for ripping off someone's personal data.

| Posted by joec_uk, 01-30-2006, 11:50 AM | | Its pretty obvious what you should do
|
| Posted by Mike911, 01-30-2006, 05:14 PM | | Don't be afraid to kick him out. You dont need him and dont worry about him giving you a bad name. most people are smart enough to ignore a guy like that.
Hard luck on getting him in the first place tho.
