Scammed by Teotech

Ordered SMTP servers from Teo:
- Payment sent on Feb 19, 2020.
- Paid $65 for 1x server + set-up fees.
1) Late late late
2) Not dedicated IP
3) Blacklisted IPs
4) Rude/insulting ("listen moron" "you are mentally ill", etc)
5) Promised help setting things up when he wanted the money, as soon as he got the cash he disappeared for a week and said he's not a teacher/consultant

His service page:

Hilariously identical problems to other people he scammed:

Brief Explanation:
I wanted Teo to set up SMTP mail servers for me. Getting this basic service from Teo was the worst headache ever - never want to work with him again. My biggest concern before purchasing his service was not understanding how bounce servers worked with MailWizz or how to set them up (stupidly not realizing how simple they are) - he assured me he'd help. I wasted 3 weeks waiting, then with fake servers and finally struggling to figure out the bounce servers.

End result:
Money back

His server wasn't working so he kept blaming me that I had pirated copy of mailwizz - over and over and over and over...


He gave me access to a shared IP from sendinblue.com to use:

Information For The Accused
@Teotech, you have 48 hours to respond to this shit list thread. If you do not respond within 48 hours, the decision will be made in favour of the Shit Lister and you will be permanently banned from Black Hat World. In the event that you're permanently banned from the forum, you may send in a support ticket using support.blackhatworld.com only once you've refunded as the plaintiff has requested.

Information For The Accused & The Shit Lister
Please remain professional as name calling, insults, tu quoque, and ad hominem will not be tolerated. Should the Shit Lister resort to this, the dispute will be forfeit; and if the accused resorts to this, the dispute will automatically be in the Shit Lister's favour.

Information For Other Members
If anyone else has the same issue with the accused, you may respond so long as you supply evidence in the form of screenshots, videos, etc.

Please bear in mind Shit List rule #4 before responding.

"If you are not directly related to the situation, or are not offering information directly related to the situation: do not post in the thread. Anyone caught doing so will receive an infraction and be reply banned from posting in the thread."

Unfortunately, @Teotech has not been online despite being aware of @remimartin's intentions to contact BHW about this (via their Skype conversation). As it's been over 48 hours, I have no choice but to permanently ban @Teotech from Black Hat World.

@Teotech, if you wish to have your account unbanned, you'll need to sort this out with @remimartin by issuing them a refund. Once you've done that, open a ticket with support.blackhatworld.com.

As this shit list thread has concluded, shit list rule #4 no longer applies in this thread.

Sad to see as @MisterF and I both did some out of the box things to help him put back in the day and considered him to be a man of his word.

Agreed, it's disappointing when you go out of your way to help someone and then have it thrown back at you. A real slap in the face.

Thanks for the help gents.

@remimartin, I'm posting this to inform you that @Teotech contacted BHW support recently. He's been informed that he needs to resolve the issue with you before he'll be allowed to come back.
