I got the very same letter to day same amount funny that eh Ive just sent the info on to Report A Scam ,
and Im calling Of-Com tomorrow , chill dont worry .
Report A Scam will pass your info on to the correct authorities along with my info and we will hear in a few days
I tried to use them but gave up after 3,or 4 ,days ,just didnt use them ,then boom 8 months later £104.10 please out of the blue .
I found there bill by chance I never use the E/ Mail account they sent it to ,if they were that bothered with people getting overdrawn the should have POSTED a letter after 1 month not 8.
They must be some company to give thousands of people credit in this financial climate

[HypeRUpgradE]

I don't know what usenext is trying to do but I have made myself clear that I will not pay them even a penny.
Thanks alot for info Cad.
I have also sent the info on to Report A Scam.

I think the same things happened to you and me.
Maybe there are others like us who are in the
same situation as us.

Hi,

Before I begin, you must know that we run the website www.usenetshack.com and this is neither a spam post nor trying to get attention. This is a severe situation involving many hundreds of subscribers and must be dealt with in a severe way. i.e. making everyone aware to just what a scam UseNeXT has become to be.

You can read more about the entire situation at our UseNeXT article.

Please check out the comments on our article above for first hand evidence of such cases and what people have done in response to the scam. Our article has only been around a few days and has already garnered quite a lot of interest from the community. If you yourself have any horror stories, or even positive experiences (rare) with UseNeXT then please either get in touch or simply leave a comment - we'd love to hear more.

Yeah they have a ed2k server, don't know if it's their's or if someone is getting paid for Advertising the site, servers cost money and ed2k no one pays for anything ever. So, it's a advertising ploy, but they had that server ever since ed2k begin, and I should known I was on develpment of the protocol.

I have used UseNext and canceled without any difficulty. I have also not received any other requests from them, however, if I do, I will keep the info provided here in mind. Thank you for the heads up, as I was considering using them again.
