Add our name

Another story from the former "Gunnels Collective" ...

Add our name to the long list of people apparently scammed by this guy Gunnels. We had our web site with besthost1.com for 4 years and then along comes Gunnels this past June saying "your site is up for renewal". We were expecting to renew. As it turns out, it appears that Gunnels had stolen the account from this other guy at besthost1.com (Dan) and Gunnels was out to scam us. We renewed with Gunnels' company and service was there until this past Saturday when our site disappeared. Every domain, email and phone I have for GUnnels are all now non-operational.

I sent the FBI contact listed in another group an email about this. They are trying to determine if Gunnels is a fraudmeister or just a bad business man. Meanwhile, we paid our two year renewal fee via Paypal so we are working with them to see if we can get our money back.

The biggest hassle is reconstructing our site from backup files. Its a real pain. Fortunately, we were using off-site Guestbooks and counters and we didn't lose any of that.

[... ] Best of luck to all that fell prey to this guy.
