Yes, I received an email like this, and if I don't verify, I won't be able to take any further actions, or even get a refund. So, I had to naïvely upload my personal information as requested. Is there any risk involved? Could you give me some advice?
Yes… some advice
Do you ask your partner if they have protection before or after intercourse ?

Give me a couple weeks and I shall show you something different.
Small update to my situation with stromonic:
I have received a Email 3 days ago saying my service has been suspended for "overdue on payment" after I opened a case at PayPal.
However I have not received any money back yet.

That's normal with any provider, since the money is held with PayPal and not with Stromonic anymore. You've effectively violated their TOS.

Noticed at: 2023-03-30 20:15:45 (UTC+05:30)
Looks like they started shutting down VPS without KYC? Anyone else's down?
Yes from the looks of it, time for a dispute.
Gateway up, so looks like a suspension to me, however can't verify since I am forbidden from viewing the services package.
@FrankZ said:
I am down as well. No suspension email. Still no response to my DM.
Glad I always pay with PayPal.
Mine is down too.
Created a support ticket but cannot seem to access the created ticket... So, not even sure if I will get any responses.
When do you plan to raise a dispute?
I still have over a month to do so, so I will wait a while to see what happens. I really do not like to open PayPal disputes, that is just me, although in these kind of cases I think disputes are acceptable.

180 days. Amex, what I typically use provides this period for protection... I think we purchased the services around the same time in 2022. Maybe I will also give them a couple of weeks.
So far I have never opened a dispute with any provider. It's a shame how things have turned out here.
@localhost said: It's a shame how things have turned out here.
It really is. It's not some summer host who has done this. The company has been operating since 2017, and has been on LES for more than two years. The issue as I see it is when reading the rule that they are quoting it does not say that KYC rules apply for DC, dedi, and cloud hosting providers. They have just used a bastardized interpretation of that rule (not even a law) to breach contracts and then go dark on communicating with their clients. @gomi even gave them the KYC info they requested and they still shut him down. I think it is foolish to push people into disputes instead of coming to some sort of resolution directly because of all the extra fees that they will be charged by the payment processing companies.
I don't really get upset about these kind of things and have always understood that if you swim in these waters once in a while you might get bit by sharks. To keep it in perspective I have given more in tips to the old folks who bag my groceries this month than I paid for 2 years of VPS from Stromonic. That is one of the reasons I am in no rush to dispute.
Good luck to you, and the rest of the LES Stromonic clients, as you negotiate your way through this issue.

As long as I used @Abdullah 's services, I haven't been requested for kyc. Maybe because I do not have server(s) in India from him?

I'm wondering what's up with some Indian Provider lately .
https://microlxc.net/
Do you know why there are never any issues with Mexican low end providers ?
There are none.
You know why sometimes there are issues with Indian low end providers ?
There are a lot of them.
