• A server host scammed me, what do i do.
    29 replies, posted
So i bought a server host that was fairly new but has great reviews, and i bought the server and it just never came and then i contacted support and all they did was make it look like it came even tho it didnt. So i contacted them again they said 2 seconds and that was 24 hours ago, how do i get my 50 dollars back, i never got my product and doubt i ever will. And before anyone says contact support, out of all the times ive contacted them i had to go directly to discord and spam them before i got a response within 5 hours, note this was after 12 hours of not getting what i paid for. ------------------------------------------------------ EDIT: The problem was the US servers sold out and i was unaware so it took them 30 hours to get that fix and long response time was caused by the owner being asleep for a long period Crident is not a scam and they are legit, it was just a freak accident that all just kinda happen at once.
What was the name of the company/person that sold(?) you the game server?
[QUOTE=dingusnin;52851236]What was the name of the company/person that sold(?) you the game server?[/QUOTE] One of the leadership team on the serverhost is an admin on this site and i like this site so ima not name names so i dont get banned from this site.

chargeback on your creditcard/raise a dispute on paypal
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;52851262]chargeback on your creditcard/raise a dispute on paypal[/QUOTE] They have their TOS worded really well so you cant charge back until paypals chargeback time expires.
[QUOTE=ActuallyFBI;52851271]They have their TOS worded really well so you cant charge back until paypals chargeback time expires.[/QUOTE] That doesn't make any sense. You've paid for a product and paid with paypal, and if you didn't get your product you can raise a dispute and paypal will put pressure on their asses. [editline]3rd November 2017[/editline] And if they don't respond or whatever you are pretty much always the first choice for paypal so they will give you the money back eitherway, even if the host says they won't.

[QUOTE=ActuallyFBI;52851296]Ima wait a few more hours then im contacting my lawyer.[/QUOTE] I highly doubt you'll need to do that, at least not right now. Just file a complaint on paypal and wait it out, and if that goes nowhere then you can contact your lawyer if you so desire.
Tell us the host, seriously do it. Scam hosts are the scum of the internet

From what's being said in the Discord, the auto-deployment system is being weird and the only people that can fix it are asleep.

if youre being serious just go ahead and rent a $10 linux vps you get flexibility and youll save money rather than pay fucking $0.79/slot
[QUOTE=angrytoiletry;52852513]if youre being serious just go ahead and rent a $10 linux vps you get flexibility and youll save money rather than pay fucking $0.79/slot[/QUOTE] The server host i wanted to use, sells by CPU precentage so 30 slot server cost 10$ a month and a Linux VPS would also require me to get a game-panel aka Tc-admin which is 15$ a month and require matinee
I'm completely useless here, but I'll repeat what other people have already said: What is the name of the host company? Is it even a company or did you just start messaging people on Steam asking "hey can you make server please"?

I'm not sure if your specific issue is resolved, but just in case you are still waiting - I'm deploying a new machine tonight, and the issue will be resolved as soon as possible. I did [B]literally[/B] just wake up, though. So give us some time, and like Moat said, we'll make it right - we always do. If you'd like more live-updates about this, and so I can make sure this issue is resolved for you, message me on Discord (drizzy.vip) and link this thread. You don't need to apologise, I understand your frustration - but you also don't need to worry, we're not scamming you.
