These guys are nothing but a joke.
My father was tricked into joining them when he started his business a few years ago.
Two years subscription on they’re phoning him repeatedly demanding he continue his listing. They’ve told him if he doesn’t pay again they’ll bill him £2000 (on his credit card details they have on file - he paid by cheque) for breach of contract and they even told me when I spoke to them today that his failure to continue the listing would result in them “taking his site off the internet” and removing him from all the major search engines. (thats right folks, didnt you know they own google?…)
The telephonist was rude, threatening and downright out of order.
My father doesn’t really understand the internet, i’m infuriated by their audacity.
They also claimed to have a Page Rank 9 site

Nothing but a lying bunch of scammers who prey on internet business beginners.
If this post breaches site protocol my infraction box has a few spaces.
I’m not going to affirm they are a scam, but if what he said is right and I’m not sure why he would lie, the whole harassing thing is definetly one of the worst attitudes I’ve found online keeping in mind that his father is someone with less internet information, he would get quite affected.
Should we consider this a scam?

TagBridge - hosting scam or at least the worst deal
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008
Jamie Wyatt + TagBridge + PulseInternet + Lies = this long story
You’ll definetly want to read if you’re in the hosting industry or simply to understand how things work when people “sell” their company and disappear.
I’ll be honest with you, I’ve kept this as draft as Jamie made a good first impression, he never resolved the issue, he completely vanished….
You’ll hate me after reading this, but the company that I have advertised for on this blog as PulseInternet.co.uk owned by Jamie Wyatt and then transformed into TagBridge.net is more of a scam than a hosting company, and I’ll come with facts to support this.
I was hosted by PulseInternet back in 2007, early 2008 - with a sponsored VPS, a decent one, I’d say it worth about $40/mo. Jamie Wyatt contacted me on MSN, after watching my digitalpoint threads. He then proposed the VPS deal if I advertise on my main social network mylol.net and also create an article about his company on Scorpiono.com. I’ve did it, and actually the article contains true facts, pulse was doing quite good and the support was wonderful, why? To get a good feedback! I might have been one of the few that got this treatment from the support team just to talk nice, as Jamie knew I wouldn’t kiss the company’s ass for a VPS. I did more than requested, I’ve made a few sales and the affiliate % money were starting to add in my account. My first suspicion came after I’ve seen that after 2 and a half months, the same amount of money (1 month payment) was counted by the affiliate system. Therefor, if the buyer will go for 1 year payment plan, I’ll only get 1 month in my affiliate funds. Nice trick huh? Well, maybe just a simple bug or my miscalcultion.
June 2008 - I’ve sold mylol.net on SitePoint and had to give my VPS (the sponsored one) to the new owner, so I’ve told Jamie Wyatt that the new owner is willing to pay for 1 year - $500 USD. He was thrilled, but he knew he could pull out more from me, so I’ve decided to bonus Jamie a $50 if the files of my other websites hosted on the VPS were to be transfered imediately. Money?! Instant transfer.. woot! Who doesn’t like money? No problem..
I’ve been moved to a shared server and promised a new vps for making sales worth of over $500 - but guess what happens meanwhile? Jamie sells TagBridge.net to someone from US called TheCrazedKing. I knew about this move a few weeks ago, before Jamie’s 18th birthday (Yes, 18th), when I was noticed that the company is on negative profit, so he has to quick sell for $50,000 - the future will reserve TheCrazedKing as the buyer.
One week ago, I asked Jamie about my payment and the VPS that was promised. Yes, he managed to provide a VPS with LxAdmin which got canceled instantly by the new owner a few days later. I have borrowed Jamie money for cPanel license payment, so he can fully sell the company. (what?! TagBridge can’t affort $20? - seems not). Still no VPS working.
If I mentioned affiliate money, or vps, I would get ignored and Jamie would simply vanish or tell me to AIM the new owner. *Do I care?!* But I did, I talked to TheCrazedKing (the brand new owner) on AIM, he was so revolved he decided that he will sue Jamie Wyatt and his partner for selling him the company that was nowhere close as they said in the first place. The AIM discussion got me to one conclusion, this guy got pretty screwed as well now, because after the sale most of the customers ran away or asked for refund, and most of us were “sponsored” users, so basically, he had few people actually paying the bills. Wonder where the customers went? Well few days ago Jamie kindly asked me if I need hosting. I was like, outraged, it was such a kick in the nuts to see him asking for MORE money after the affiliate % of $500 I got scammed, the $50 for transfer, the $20 for the cPanel license and everything, he wanted to host me now. *cough* Imagine where TagBridge’s customers are right now? On his private servers most likely..
I’ve purchased my own VPS now, with money on the table and I’m not going to get into any affiliation with any hosting company whatsoever from now on, because it doesn’t worth the fuss.
This blog post was made for a few reasons: some might see revenge, but I know how *sucker* you can feel after the whole experience, and the “hey, need hosting?” in the end from Jamie. I totally recommend you guys to stay away from TagBridge’s hosting, as right now, mylol.net (prepaid $500 vps) is down for 3 days for connectivity issues, and well.. he represents the few that actually pay!! Affiliating with TagBridge or Jamie Wyatt is definetly something you will regret, I have a very bad taste in my mouth at the moment, I had a wonderful opinion about him when I met him, but started to sense something was fishy from the day he was thinking of selling TagBridge.
Heads up people, web hosting is a jungle full of tigers, lions, bears and scammers.

The bodies of “Spam King” Edward “Eddie” Davidson, his wife, and 3-year-old daughter were found in an SUV parked in a farmhouse driveway in a rural part of Bennett, about 25 miles east of Denver. Authorities said Davidson was the apparent gunman.
What a coward I’d say, 21 months only - he must of had some serious mental issues.

Scammer alert: Web hosting scammer alert
Friday, August 1st, 2008
No, I’m not talking about TagBridge, I’m still investigating it, I’m talking about this guy:
Digitalpoint username: hostingspace4u
Few days after I’ve closed my business with the whole TagBridge/PulseInternet, I was looking for a VPS - and when you yell in forums that you need a good offer for a VPS, you get all sort of people adding you on MSN directly to approach you.
Luckily I’m good when it comes to make deals, I sell good and I buy better, that’s the thing I do the best. I refused the guy politely and what do I see after 1 month?
I see this: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=956910
Digitalpoint username: eLeMeNtZ (funky way to spell your name mate) reports hostingspace4u in a digitalpoint thread profiding the following proof.
What does hostingspace4u reply?
because you were pissing me off, just think why would I work to post all threads on DP if I really intend to close it, mods please take care of this guy
Dumb way to put things..
I check my MSN list, and voila - here is hostingspace4u
Stinging deeper, like a bad Scorpiono that I am:
Email address: hostingspace4u@hotmail.com
Website: http://www.hostingspace4u.net (ugly!)
Location: Supposely Germany
His threads on digitalpoint, check if you ever purchased:
» Unmetered Reseller Hosting $ 7 / Year only — wtf?!
» Unmetered Master Reseller $15 / Year — wtf?!
» Unmetered Alpha Master | FREE FOR A MONTH | $15 Recurring — wtf?!
Bottom point:

Domain name scammers - “Good” deals
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Post updated on: 10.September.2008
2 days ago I’ve recieved this in my email, regarding to s5audi.com which I recently purchased.
The email comes from ngservices@phreaker.net - phreaker?!
Please let us know the your price and we will consider it.
Our company is investing in High Tech and IT projects. Now the domain market is very attractive for us, since every business in the Internet requires a domain.
Looking forward to do business with you.
Regards,
Anthony Stecker
Vice President
N G (The Next Generation) Services
I’ve replied back, I’m selling it for $500 USD - he agreed but..
Do you sell domain with a web site or just the name?
Domain without content is ok with me. Web site is not necessary.
Have you had your domain names evaluated in the past? I mean domain appraisals. Without valuation we cannot be sure in the sale price. It’s very important for me in terms of reselling too. But we must engage a valuation company with REAL manual service. So I will only accept valuations from independent sources I and my partners trust. To avoid mistakes I asked domain experts about reputable appraisal companies. Please check this blog:http://domainmarket.007sites.com/Archive/419570.htm If, for example, the valuation comes higher you can adjust your asking price accordingly. It will be fair. I also hope you can give me 12% - 15% discount.
After you send me the valuation via email (usually it takes 1-2 days to obtain it) we’ll continue our negotiations.
What is your preferred payment method: Escrow.com, International wire transfer, PayPal.com or something else?
Hope we can come to an agreement fast.
Looking forward to your reply.
I’ve told him, you pay for the appraisal I sell, I’m not going to make any investment since you are the buyer.
Sellers always provide buyers with valuations. This is a common practice.
I don’t trust $14 services like that GoDaddy’s valuation service. Nobody will do a research for $14. We need a real manual service.
I researched several companies and here are the results: I considered www.Afternic.com, but now it’s clear their service is not reliable enough.Just read this:
http://www.igoldrush.com/links3.htm”
Capsule Review: After lots of complaints, Afternic is no longer a recommended service. We will re-review the service in the near future.”
