Hostmaster web hosting stole100.00 from my paypal acct

Updated by user Mar 27, 2013

it is now march 27 2013, I went back and forth with paypal. as far as HOSTMASTER.COM GOES, I WAS COMPL,WTELY IGNORED.

THE PHONE NUMBER THEY USE FOR THEIR PAYPAL RECEIPTS IS OUT OF SERVICE, THEY IGNORE YOUR EMAIL;S. I WAS ADVISED TO REPORT THIS TO (ic3 A DIVISION OF THE FBI INTERNET FRAUD UNIT ). I DID THAT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS COMPANY ON BRITISH WEBSITES WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED.

I CONTACTED THE LONDON L POLICE FRAUD DESK AND THEY GAVE ME A LINK TO REPORT THIS TO THE PROPER BRITISH AUTHORITIES. PAYPAL IS ALSO LOOKING INTO THEIR PRACTICES BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE A CUSTOMER CONTACT PHONE NUMBER ON THEIR RECEIPTS. BOTTOM LINE.. HOSTMASTER IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BY BRITISH AUTHORITIES AND ARE A SCAM OPERATION.

HOSTMASTER.COM IS A WEBSITE HOSTING SERVICE THAT HAS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED ABOUT THEM.. ( I LOST $ 100.00) PAYPAL WAS KIND ENOUGH TO GIVE ME $60.00 OF THE MONEY BACK AT THEIR EXPENSE. THANK YOU PAYPAL!!

PEOPLE..

DO NOT,,. I REPEAT, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH " HOSTMASTER.COM- HOSTMASTER.LLP THEY ARE A TRUE RIPOFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hostmaster.com ripoff

my wife was trying to make a simple funds tranfer form the bank account to paypal account. somehow hostmaster.com got in the middle of the transaction and ended up with $100.00 of my money, they are a website hosting company. the customer service phone number listed on the paypal invoice is not functioning. i opened a dispute with paypal who says they cant do anything. i have escalated the issue with paypal, still waiting for a response.hostmaster.com refuses to return the money, i have no agreement with hostmaster.com and have received no services from them.nor do i plan to. they said they will credit my account. i have no account with them. if you email them. they are slow to respond if at all. hostmaster.com is a ripoff. there are other complaints about them on various websites as well
