Hello guys and gals,
This blog is about a popular scammer, who unfortunately has been lyeing his customers for years. I really hate fraud, this is why I decided to build this blog and I hope I help the numbers of robbed people by webhostingpad.com to decrease. I am writing this to try to protect other webmasters being burned by them. So here is what happened:
Two days ago I purchased a hosting account with Webhostingpad.com and payed them $70.52 via paypal.
A few hours later I received a mail from them, saying that I have to fill and sign (by hand) a document in which I agree webhosting pad to charge my credit card and paypal account. (later I found out that they continue to charge their client’s credit cards, even if they closed their accounts) In addition I had to send them a photo of my ID card. WTF? I have purchased hosting accounts here and there and I have never been asked to provide such information!!!
I replied that I already payed them and I do not agree my credit card or pay pal account to be charged. There wan no logic to allow them to charge my accounts, they already had the money ??? I also didn’t want to send a copy of my ID card to them, so I requested my money back. They have 30 day money back guarantee. This is a pic from their site:
After I sent the mail kindly asking for a refund and cancellation of my order, they stopped replying to my mails. I tried to reach them via live chat, but after I told them the number of my order, they closed the connection. I tried a few more times to open a new connection and I couldn’t! It has been more than 2 days they haven’t replied and this is a too long period of time for any self respecting hosting comapny…
So I made a search for “webhostingpad scam” (link to search results) and there were many results confirming my fears. They are SCAMMERS. They scammed me with $70 bucks.
So I opened a dispute for my payment and I hope I get it back! But forget about the money, the thing I hope more about is to protect some other webmaters from them! HELP ME!
