****** DECEPTION AND LIES ******
A couple of months ago, Hideout.TV sent me an email warning me that there was suspicious activity on my account and that I needed to change my password. This was an account that had been unused for a long time, but I logged in and had a look around but found no evidence of suspicious activity. However, I changed the password as had been instructed. About a week later, I found the account had been suspended. That's not a problem as I did not use that account but it soon dawned on me as to what may have been happening. I believe the original email that hideout.tv sent to me (requesting I changed password due to suspicious activity) was a very underhand way of verifying my IP address! There was no suspicious activity on my account at all. They want me to log in, change password and by doing so were able to verify my IP address. Once they had my IP address, I believe they had all they needed to suspend my account. Why the IP address was blacklisted, I don't know, but I suspect that running an app called Honeygain on a separate server machine, may have contributed to this. But still, lieing to me in the email, just goes to show what obnoxious and totally dreadful company they really are.
