Ack. Through a COMPLETE bumbling on our part, we've accidentally attempted
to charge you for the ENTIRE year of 2008 (and probably 2009!) ALREADY
(it was all due to a fat finger)!

We're really really realllly embarassed about this, but you have nothing
to worry about. Please ignore any confusing billing messages you may have
received recently; we've already removed all those bum future charges on
your account (#xxxxx) and already refunded the $140.39 charge on your
credit card.

You should get the money back on almost immediately, within a day or
two max, and there's no need to contact your credit card company or bank
for the refund.

Thank you very very much for your patience with this.. we PROMISE
this won't happen again. There's no need to reply to this message unless
of course you have any other questions at all!

Sincerely,
The Foolish DreamHost Billing Team!

So how do we make 7 million dollar?

Establish a host. It doesn’t have to be quality, downtimes are okay! Set low prices. They don’t have to cover the expenses, you will cover it in 11 years from now, or maybe even sooner. Your aim is to make people sign up using Credit Card or bank transfer. For this purpose, give out coupon codes with *unreliable* discount, but the condition is to pay with credit card, that way you will know for sure what payment method they will use.

Be patient, collecting a massive credit cards list takes time. Meanwhile, try to enjoy it, add goodies to your host, respond with sense of humor to tickets, remember, — they still don’t know why are you so merry.

One sunny day, press the “charge ‘em all” button, and wait a bit longer, only 12 hours left until you are a millionaire. Be patient, collecing 7,500,000 dollars can take a few hours. Probably first you will be billing about $200 to each account but thenyou will lose patience and switch to $9,000 per credit card. remember, time is money, and you can’t afford losing it.

Then, congratulations, you are a millionaire! You might still want to let your hosting run and allow your clients to host their dreams for $10 a month though. The choice is yours. People will make comics, laugh, rage, and give you a bad name… Ignore it, you have 7 millions in your pocket, they are just jealous!

The fire department wouldn't allow them to turn on their backup generators, so DNS and servers are down for any older EV1 customers.
