Ventura IT Host Bandit, Ripoff and Scam Ventura, California hostbandit.com Liars, no service, scam, Internet

The customer who originally filed the complaint is absolutely right.  Hostbandit/ Ventura IT is a fraud company.  Hostbandit/ VenturaIt play a very smart game by getting the customers signed up for their $1 hosting. 

Once the customer is out of Hostbandit.com refund guarantee they then block their account. If you try contacting Hostbandit or VenturaIT through their support phone or emails, they would never ever respond. The Contact Numbers for HostBandit always goes on Voicemail. 

To confirm this, once they blocked my hosting I used another email address and different domain to sign up for their services.  Hostbandit / Ventura IT did the exactly same thing in all the hostings. 

Hostbandit strategy is simple. They don't want the customers to stay for long. Hostbandit would just wait till the customer is out of the refund guarantee and then would just shut down without any notification or email .

WORST part is Hostbandit won't even give you back your data which you have stored on their server.  I trusted Hostbandit and put all my data which was my hard work of 3 years on their server. But they don't care whether how many problems someone had to go through to do that work.

Its been 2 months i am requesting Ventura IT and Hostbandit to atleast return my data but they have never ever responded to my email. They have mentioned on their website that for support, customers need to raise a ticket. How would someone raise a ticket when they can't even login as they have shut down the ftp and cpanel.

If anyone from Hostbandit is reading it, if you are a bit human atleast dont waste my hard work. Please give it back. 

This customer was refunded all fees.
