Dishonest reseller warning!

This company resells from the following companies:

Royale Hosting: Netherlands
Hetzner: Both German Locations and Finland (Dedicated servers included)
Virtual Systems (VSys): Singapore
Crunchbits: Spokane WA
Fiberstate: Salt Lake City
Servarica: Montreal, Canada
If you need evidence, check their looking glass IPs (you can use mtr to find additional IPs to check) against BGP databases: https://lg-nl1.servers.guru/

They're not providing any additional value other than crypto acceptance over the services (some of those above companies even accept crypto) they're reselling from, no IP ownership, no ASN, and no evidence at all of any owned hardware, you can even see the same spec machines for sale on some of the resellers, it's really not better than drop shipping.

Some of the companies they resell from are known for shady activities, so you're not even getting more freedom or privacy.

I would give them credit if they were at least upfront and honest about who they're reselling from, which under many country's laws is actually a requirement, as a user must know all the companies that handle their data. If you're going to buy from someone who resells, might as well just go for sporestack, at least they're honest.

i just doing a petty review on that one, while i havent even tried the service, it's probably working tho lol
and if their service is actually working as intended then would be better than the cake team i guess? LOL, i mean, since literally got scammed by cake for "no KYC credit card thing" but ended up getting shotgun KYC'd, so maybe that xmrvcc service would be even less scammy than cake somehow

still leaving negative review cause all their threads are like AI generated and it's pissing me off reading AI emojis everywhere and all of that, that's just cringe
and their only "postive review" on this forum is from someone that hasnt even been active for some reason and it's the only review they posted, so red flag of self reviewing themselves, might not be the case

they have positive reviews on monerica tho
but the AI generated slop thread pissing me off so negative review for that

being dismissive about actual concerns regarding new centralized services and ghosted someone that did a lenghty post reviewing all of the esims providers
this service forum thread:
https://monero.forum/thread/xmrsim-buy-anonymous-esim-plans-monero-no-kyc
the thread from user they ghosted:
https://monero.forum/thread/tested-no-kyc-esim-providers-actually-take-monero-notes-what-works

• centralized
• closed source
• had to be called out for mislabelling himself as a "DEX"
• lied about "localmonero leaving an empty void that needed to be filled"
  (while an actual opensource DEX finally went live at the time of closure)
• using "LLM for formating" on their forum threads...

all redflags from honeypots, might not be one, but would not recommend to anyone that i care about their safety, especially when they're handling data as SENSITIVE as actual home addresses, bank account information and so on...
too much corporate slop nowadays about "no ip log no nothing, user privacy yaddy yadda", just meaningless corporate slop speak while they're handling the most sensitive informations for individuals

for actual opensource solution that could definitely need more contributors:
https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno
which at the time of writing, the working network for it would be:
https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto
those github links are the type of technologies that could be improved and use more dev resources on these

XMRMatters and recently an other one "xmrpool" are literally corporate slop honeypots wannabes
to be expected to have more of these spawning and trying to normalize and desensitize people to using centralized services (even when the decentralized options already exist for those)

Forces you to disable VPN to claim the card. HONEY POT SCAM!!
