Dieses Unternehmen hostet einen spammer, der seit ein paar Wochen unter der gefälschten Absenderadresse wewe.global massivst Spam verschickt, und nichts dagegen tut, frei nach dem Motto "Der bezahlt dafür, juckt mich nicht". Edit: Thanks for the "answer", Linode, but no, the spamming still occurs, it just switched fake sender address from wewe.global to chess.com but is still spamming around. Seems like a candidate for an ASN block.

Stay away from these scammers ! I got the 100$ trial credit to test their services, after the 100$ were consumed, they started charging me without me knowing anything

Hey there. Our services require a valid credit card and promotional credits expire after 60 days, it’s your responsibility to manage your account’s billing and services. More information about how our billing system works can be found here: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/how-linode-billing-works/

Impossible to sign up. I create an account then get an email saying "your registration did not meet the criteria we use to approve new accounts" and no further explanation of the reason why. Very peculiar and a waste of time and effort. The email also weirdly says "If you do not receive a reply, this means the decision to cancel the account could not be overturned." as if they expect me to sit here waiting to receive an email that they will probably never send. No thanks!
Response from LinodeJan 12, 2022
Hey there. Your account was likely flagged by our fraud detection system. If you email [email protected] with the information we request in the cancellation email, we’ll be sure to review your signup.

My account was cancelled. I don't know why since no explanation was given. Reading reviews here, I am not alone in experiencing this disrespectful treatment. Linode even has the impudence to include the following line in their email: "If you do not receive a reply, this means the decision to cancel the account could not be overturned." So they expect you to sit around waiting for a reply to your email which may never arrive. Linode couldn't care less about wasting your time. A recurring theme with cheap VPS providers seems to be the lack of any form of customer service. They don't give two hoots! (And that's the polite way of saying it.) Reply to Linode: I do not know why the account was closed because you never bothered to provide a reason. Yes, I have also received poor treatment from other companies (UpCloud, Digital Ocean) with zero customer service just like Linode. Warning to other potential Linode customers: Never trust any of these cheap VPS companies that do not have a phone number listed on their website. I would recommend AWS Lightsail for a basic VPS. Amazon is a company with decent customer service and civilised behaviour - unlike Linode.

Hi Jake. Your account was likely flagged by our fraud detection system. This is usually due to abuse or other behaviors that violate our AUP. Based on your other reviews it looks like you’ve had this experience with multiple providers and companies. You’re welcome to try to signup again but the result may be the same.
