I myself have a long story about onlinestoragesolution-dot-com. I was disappointed with the look of their admin web interface from day one (cause I thought it was a bad sign), but I decided not to panic because their FTP service looked as it's working fine, and that's what I needed for my planned automated backups.
I haven't had the time to set that up during the first month, but when I finally did, that service never worked well for me: service unavailable for hours, large-file ftp process fails at the end because something on their end deletes the temporary file and it can't be renamed, files successfully uploaded were disappearing (occasionally but frequently enough for me to notice).
So, unavailability and intact data is what we all want. They are deleting files, and I'm sure of this.
I decided that I cannot rely on this service, and I tried to ask for a refund over email. That email conversation lasted almost 3 months, where that Chris character started to distract me from my original demand by trying to resolve technical issues that I have. During that time, the service was working and not working, and files were still being deleted. The refund check was finally promised to me, but I never received it. When I asked for the status a few weeks later, somebody else responded, and the process of troubleshooting restarted: it took another few weeks to get to the "check will be mailed to you today" promise. Of course, the check never arrived. Now, every time I ask for the status, I don't get any reply.
I decided to work on exposing this scam, so I created http://OnlineStorageSolutionScam.com site. You'll notice that there I don't mention any other competitive service, so the site is there only to bash on the online-storage-solution-dot-com - to tell everyone to stay away from it. Please promote OnlineStorageSolutionScam.com - we have to stop Chris from making money. I don't have the resources and time to go after him legally (even PayPal and my credit-card bank refused to help me, when I requested chargeback), but this website is what I can do. |
