I was wondering about the ugvps offers too. They got tons of bad reviews/comments and were allowed to offer again and again. I stopped reading the blog post after this:

Their offer on LEB is being received like a colon examination.
The positive uptakers are surprisingly, those in love with unbelievably cheap prices. Same people are likely those that act on SPAM and buy designer counterfeit goods.
Buying tip #1 --- Does the company have any "About Us" type materials. A company that can say tons about their products and technical stuff, but can't say anything about their own company, their operating principles, etc. = AVOID.
Term of Service and Privacy Policy lack any real definition and NO CORPORATE CONTACT.
Most shocking? No Acceptable Use Policy. The AUP is included within the ToS and is semi-laughable:

Now we have providers applying CITY LEVEL LAWS?
Presumably City laws in the city where the servers are located?
So will they terminate me if I stream music from my VPS at a volume that violates my local city's noise ordinance, or what? No loud music after midnight!

I'll bump this, cause UGVPS is having a spectacular implosion. A week offline, cryptic defenses by CC cohorts and now Crystal claiming identify fraud by Thomas Dale and his cohorts:

^--- at least one of those IPs was a smoking gun linking Thomas to ChicagoVPS 
And, thereafter to ColoCrossing
If this Crystal is the real Crystal, I can confirm her details. I have a very important piece of personal identification relating to her in my hands. She can pull her original out of her wallet.

No, but I use to find people who couldn't be found traditionally. Lots of funny/scary stories there.
Matter at hand, never smelled right. Really, in the low end segment of teenage boys and those who should be over such a phase, the presence of a female is very odd. There are some in the larger hosting segment, but low end, blah, women have more economic sense than to do that to themselves, so I think.
Note to others planning on cornering a market in illegal ways, covertly taking over the community website and pissing on my feet, don't do it.

It seems for once you got duped @DomainBop.
Having talked with Crystal I can confirm she never had a clue about UGVPS nor was involved. She believed everything was in Thomas' name.
It wasn't until she found this thread that she pieced everything together. That resulted in revoking the domain (ugvps.com).

Far as I can tell from that thread, she was aware of, if not complicit in the "fraud" until recently. Now that UGVPS has tanked and won't be providing her any income she wants to come clean? She stated herself that she was aware of the activity and just had not done anything until recently, and if you're a non-technical person, why come on an internet forum specialized in VPSes to tell your tale.. Doesn't add up to me, some parts may be true but there's some pieces of the puzzle missing.
I always thought "Crystal" was technically inept, but I guess she's even more inept than I ever dreamed possible. I'm not really sure why you'd pretend to be a female, it's not like there's anything to gain in the market sector by doing that. So apparently "Thomas" is no longer a CC employee, as Chris is "looking for him" ?

I'll disagree. The low end sector, especially LEB offers, attracts a lot of socially inept pubescent boys who spend their days playing Minecraft and have never come in contact with a girl. Add a friendly female to a LEB offer (OMFG, a real girl talked to me!) and you have a marketing hit in that segment.

Would you believe a guy who until 2 days ago said that CVPS owning UGVPS was a story?
What makes you believe that what she told you is true?
Or a copy similiar to the one you seem to possess?

Not by me, but welcome here anyway. I can't confirm that you're the real Crystal, but I can confirm your IP is residential to the same area and state as what I have for Thomas, so good enough for me.
Yes it does. She moved in with Tom 1 month or less after we seperated.
