    Default SCAM store using Zen-Cart - Please shut it down ASAP!!!

    buyingoods.com

    HELP!!!!!!!!!

    To whoever has the power to shut this down, this is the 4th store on as many e-commerce hosting sites (Vendio, Auctiva, webasyst, Zen-Cart) that this operation has set up.

    Vendio, Auctiva, and webasyst have shutdown there previous attempts. PayPal has shutdown several (5-6) accounts they keep setting up. IC3.gov has been contacted and made aware of all activities, including the latest site being hosted by Zen-Cart.

    This is giving Zen-Cart a bad name by the minute. If you are a legitimate user on Zen-Cart it is in your best interest to support the shutdown of this site.

    Please take action ASAP!

    Zen Cart does not run a hosting service. You'd have to report them to their hosting service or their payment gateway if you feel you've been cheated by them. Zen Cart has nothing to do with the way people operate their businesses.

    That may be, but they have a link at the bottom of their page that says "powered by Zen-Cart" with a link (how I got here).

    There is no question this is giving Zen-Cart, and all it's users a bad name, so long as activity like this is allowed to carry on.

    Not sure the right host/server info you are referring to is not available through the whois.

    Just list Go Daddy. I'll try to send them a message too, but thought Zen-Cart would be interested to know their name is being smeared...

    As much as we would like to help, there is NOTHING we can do. The program is free and anyone can download it and use it without having to register it.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    While it sux that they are using ZC Zen Cart is third party software and has NO WAY of shutting down a site....

    You are already contacting godaddy which is where the a record resides...

    you can also contact

    Because the whois information on record is false.
