[Hot From the RC] Never do business with Intuitive Servers -- It's a Scam
329 replies, posted
Hold on to your britches, Leo, because things are about to get interesting.
I was a little confused on who you were at first with the name change. I checked your history and was able to link you back to Leo Cash from my thread in 2013. Leo Cash PM'ed me several times asking for help setting up a [URL="http://img02.imgland.net/Er7_kTK.png"]server host[/URL] back in 2013.
Reviewing all of my PM's from you, I was able to remember that you used to run Ewe Host, which had a bunch of drama from this thread [URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1262317"]here[/URL] back in 2013.
Surprisingly, the steam group for ewe host seems to link back to you. It looks like you left it at some point, but your post is still on the steam page. The current admin for that steam group is also someone from [URL="http://img.imgland.net/4t6AfRE.png"]intuitive servers[/URL].
Looking into the [url]http://ewehost.com/[/url] domain via a whois check reveals it is currently registered through blue host. The same domain registrar intuitive servers uses. And the details are the exact same on both domains as shown [URL="http://img03.imgland.net/aVg61aT.png"]here[/URL].
Additionally, when reviewing the DNS history on both of these domains (and I could probably find more if I dig) it looks like both domains at one point in time used 66.147.244.76 for DNS. On the exact same day.

Just to highlight how amazing this is:
[QUOTE=GarrysModRP;40333567][B]This is a public warning to NEVER use Ewe host.
The owner of this so-called "quality server-hosting" site is riddled with false advertising. They claim to have great DDoS protection, high speeds, and great support, however it's all false. It's actually quite hilarious once you find out why. Maybe you heard of it when the owner spent over $75 changing Garry's Facepunch title to advertise his host claiming it was the "Best Gmod Hosting".
Let's begin with the great customer reviews:

” I’ve used ewe for like a month now, I’ve got 40 ping all the time, I never used to get DDoSed, or maybe I got DDoSed but to good protection! I highly recommend Ewe Host, I’m from EU and got so low ping! Perfect! “
This review by "Oliver Svensson" is a great positive review. This guy gets great speeds, even in the EU!
A quick Google search of his image shows that this real guy's name is Paz Aricha from Israel, not "Oliver".

But here's the best part about who's identity he stole, it's his website designer.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/jS2S8jb.png[/t]
So, the review is entirely fake, and likely written by the site owner. I've seen his writing before, and he commonly makes grammatical mistakes. Hence the incorrect usage of the word "too".
Next is the hosting location. The only location available to host is Dallas, Texas.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/MZ2yz1i.png[/t]
So let's take a look at Ewe's gallery of images. What do you know, we see the skyscraper where his servers must be located, impressive!
[t]http://i.imgur.com/CGiccg8.jpg[/t]
Looks professional. Too bad it's not in Dallas, nor Texas, nor even the United States. This is a picture of a skyscraper in Shinjuku, Japan. More precisely, it's actually a HOTEL in Shinjuku called the "Park Hyatt Tokyo Hotel". Neat, he hosts his servers in a hotel. Of course, the rest of his "gallery" are really just stock photos of server boxes, panels, etc.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/ZLtTB2O.png[/t]
So, false reviews written by the owner, false locations, and upon some inspection of the owner's own server IP, I found that the Garry's Mod server he claims to host isn't even hosted with Ewe, it's hosted with Xenon.
Some other things, it's got the grates technology!
[t]http://i.imgur.com/jh0KuNO.png[/t]
And the very best part about Ewe hosting is the "5 star support"
Take a look for yourself.

False reviews, fake server location, $1 support tickets?
Don't waste your time, it's a scam.[/B][/QUOTE]
The predecessor to Intuitive Servers, EweServers was a [B]massive scam.[/B] After getting found out, you disappeared in disgrace, and now you've come back later with a new name and new service, hoping everybody has forgotten.
[editline]10th September 2016[/editline]
Which really begs the question, since you were using the assumed identity of "Paz Aricha" for your last service, what about the name you're currently doing business under: Kevin Miller? Does Kevin Miller really exist, or is it just another false identity?

I have to go back to my original claim, I'm not the owner of that hosting :)
However I can certainly vouch for Intuitive Servers, as they are a top notch hosting, •••••••••••••••••••••

Just to wrap this up before moving it all to General Discussion for people to laugh at you, we finally figured out who you really are. Kevin Miller is yet another false identity, but what about the contact information that you registered [I]both[/I] domains under? Hi, Wilbur.
Not going to dox your actual personal info, but the jig is up. There's no further proof to be had. Both EweHost and Intuitive Servers were registered by the same person, that person's IP address links to your account here on Facepunch, both services made liberal use of false identities, fake reviews, and misleading advertisements (yes, I found the [URL="https://scriptfodder.com/community/threads/613-official-intuitiveserverscom-free-servers-for-scriptfodder-members"]scriptfodder thread[/URL] that pierced the veil on Intuitive Server's supposed "DDOS" protection, which are just as bogus as EweHost's claims).
You are a scammer. Your services are scams. You are a joke. Gonna make sure as many people see this as possible to warn them off of your shady services.
lmfao owned
What a ride this was; excellent detective skills.
Can I post a reaction image?
[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;51034088]Can I post a reaction image?[/QUOTE]
I'll allow it.
[editline]/[/editline]
Thanks to LittleBabyman's choice of reaction image, I am hereby revoking permission for any other reaction images. Nice going, LittleBabyman.
i have no idea what this all is but i am very much amused by how long this guy kept up with defending his statements
This is why you can't trust Trump supporters
Good heavens, I never even noticed a copy of the thread was moved outside the RC. At least the blues can have a good laugh if it progresses.
lmao bda after he realized you doxxed him via whois, he turned whois protection on for intuitive
Sorry about your parents splitting up, Will. Also a shame about Bria.
You had one reaction image exception, and [I]that [/I]is what you went with?
I always wondered how people can so vigorously stand by a lie, even when it's obviously a lie to literally anyone else. Maybe he's gone so far down the rabbit hole he's convinced himself that he's not the owner :what:
[QUOTE=GunFox;51034191]You had one reaction image exception, and [I]that [/I]is what you went with?[/QUOTE]
All memes are unequivocally terrible. There was no right image to post even with a free pass.
That whole ordeal would be one heck of a screenplay
[QUOTE=hexpunK;51034203]All memes are unequivocally terrible. There was no right image to post even with a free pass.[/QUOTE]
The dust mite with hands reaction image would have been a step above most though.
gotta keep the lie until the end i guess
[QUOTE=Swiket;51034170]wow mods got trolled hard[/QUOTE]
Foiled a scammer's attempt to resurface and start up another sham business. Sure showed us.
[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;51034171][IMG]https://i.sli.mg/vNFfUg.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
I regret this.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;51034103]This is why you can't trust Trump supporters[/QUOTE]
I find it hysterical that a Trump supporter turned out to be a scam artist.
It's like finding out Orgonot was in charge of a ponzi scheme or something.
Perhaps he was hoping the electoral mindset of rejecting reality to substitute it with one's own would work out here.
[QUOTE=Zang-Pog;51034278]The real question is did the owner of this hosting service do anything illegal?
One thing in this world that never fails to make me happy is seeing scammers getting slapped with the long hand of the law[/QUOTE]
On the [URL="http://img03.imgland.net/OwVl_BA.png"]footer of his site[/URL] he claims his business is called Intuitive Servers, Inc. There is no such business registered in Utah according to [URL="http://img02.imgland.net/hwV0SN8.png"]this[/URL] and his contact us specifies utah as the address.
So, assuming he hasn't registered in a different state then yes. He is doing business under a fake name. But I'm not an attorney.
