@grey I think he meant refurbished, in like-new condition.

It's a bit confusing. They are actually not used. But often have been tested.

Hard to believe that they would have brand new servers sitting in a warehouse for 5+ years. Would be good it someone from XByte could clarify.

They've clarified often. They never handle used gear.

From their website --

This means that many of the refurbished machines sold by xByte Technologies are not just refurbished, they’ve never been in production. Often times with a refurbished server, you receive the benefit of never used equipment at a significant cost savings by taking advantage of the realities of made to order manufacturing.

Unlike you, they use the words "many" and "often" instead of "never". But it's good to know that most of their stuff is the equivalent of brand new.

Have you checked the browser console (Ctrl+Shift+J) for any errors?

@scottalanmiller Just be aware that there is a distinction between commercial and consumer collections, and the rules don't apply equally to both. For example. the FDCPA doesn't apply to a commercial debt.

You originally said they sold the account. Now it sounds like they just referred the account to an external agency for collections. Which is it?

Can you clarify what the difference to you is? "Referring" and sold are the same thing in the collections world.

No, they are two very different things. In general terms, an account referred for collections has been placed with an agency on a contingency basis. No funds have changed hands, and the agency is only compensated upon successful collections of the account.

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986

Can you explain how they violated this act?

Corporate counsel said that CC was their authorized agent

You originally said they sold the account. Now it sounds like they just referred the account to an external agency for collections. Which is it?

Cisco Collect, a known malicious entity pretending to be Cisco

Pretty strong statement. Where's your proof?

strong arm social engineering tactics breach US federal hacking laws

So sending an erroneous invoice via email is now a violation of federal law?

No news yet. They are a bit behind on communications at this point.

Any update on this?

No, they've not followed up AT ALL. Very disappointed.

That sucks. I would send the C&D letter along with an invoice for $5K for your troubles.

No kidding. This is one awful company. I can't believe how badly they have and continue to handle something so freaking simple. They know that they have been caught, they know that we were never a customer, but they won't do what it takes to keep this from escalating to being a legal issue.

How much do they stand to lose if you were to publicize their wrongdoing?
