Scammed by Peanuthero_ UID=2767097 for $3,377.78 - fire_bender - Jul 4, 2016
So PeanutHero sold me a year of VPS:

As the server wasn't able to handle the load, he sold me a larger option, which I paid the difference for the entire year:

Server was still unable to handle the load, and as it was his biggest VPS he offered me the same VPS but adding 3 cores, which finally was able to handle the load:

Few days later... apparently ALL his VPS servers went down, and it was supposed to be for 24 hours.

Well, that wasn't true.. VPS was down for over a week. As I asked him if the dedicated servers were affected and he told me that they weren't, a week later I decided to go with a dedicated, adding even more money to the deal.

Days started to pass by and he wasn't delivering my server, at the point I started asking for a refund (VPS didn't came back online either).
1st ticket:
![[Image: 7dHXoDe.png]](./Scammed by Peanuthero_ UID=2767097 for $3,377.78 - Printable Version_files/7dHXoDe.png)
And by then I still haven't got my server...
After I threaten him by opening a dispute BOOM: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5225162&pid=51462827#pid51462827 server got delivered... BUT IT WASN'T THE SERVER I PAID FOR!
The guy is refused to issue a refund even tho he NEVER delivered what I paid for. And until TODAY, I was still waiting for the server I paid.
![[Image: wSoGZhi.png]](./Scammed by Peanuthero_ UID=2767097 for $3,377.78 - Printable Version_files/wSoGZhi.png)
NOW, Today, that dedicated server he gave me, which wasn't even the server I paid for ALSO went down. And THIS IS ENOUGH, I'm tired of the bullshit. If the guy can't deliver what he sells, why not issue a refund and call it a loss? DUDE! LEARN TO DEAL WITH CUSTOMERS!
He is off course ignoring me...

I'm including here even more proof (don't think it's necessary but still, if ANYONE has any question):

I'm done now with this guy, and I want a FULL refund of my $3,377.78, which can be sent to: 17EQANN2qpwo9C3WR7MU8mRG4e2Ut5cLiA and I will close the dispute and considered as resolved.

The UID you entered seems to be wrong. It links back to your own profile.

You keep spending a lot of money on services within HackForums when most of them are of bad quality or re-sell for another service.
Especially for the activities you perform do yourself the favor and don't use HackForums.

You are right... I think I learn mt lesson now. However, there are some AWESOME sellers and services I paid that are working perfectly, such as Bulls services, Scorpions,

Can you please add spoilers.
Looks like a legit report though.

Legit report but I don't get why you would keep sending him money when theres so many problems in the way...

Am I surprised that this happened? Am I surprised that Peanuthero_ has gone against his word for the second time, making promises that he can't fulfill?
No, I'm not surprised at all. I could hit you up with the host that he uses and I could show you the terrible markups he makes to profit without doing much. He's enjoying your money right now and it's all because I was shunned for trying to do something about it.
Maybe users will listen next time.
