I've been trying to purchase his service for a week after testing the 24 hour trial. It took a couple of days before Zakiluck responded with a btc receiving address to pay for his server1 service.
As soon as I got his receiving address, I sent the payment and email notification with the tx hash letting him know that I paid.
It's been 5 days since I sent the payment. I still haven't heard back from him and I still don't have the service I paid for.
I looked up the tx hash on a block explorer. He spent the payment to another address an hour after he received the funds from me. Since then there have been several spends that include my initial payment amount.
I'll let this marinate for another week or so. I'll post an update here to let everybody know how this ends up playing out. I've got a bad taste in my mouth...
Turns out zakiluck wasn't receiving any of my emails that I was sending over. This is likely because of Hotmail's spam detection gets so easily triggered by any messages mentioning bitcoin or "strange" transaction hashes.
I decided to PM his profile on bitcointalk and he responded within minutes. I'm all setup now!
Thanks zakiluck!
