We believe this problem has been resolved and we are now closing this ticket. If we have failed to close this matter to your satisfaction please reply to this message and your case will be immediately re-opened.

One of your customers tried to steal money falsely using your services, and you consider that the problem is resolved by telling me five days later to ignore his email?????

If I had not figured that out all by myself, I never would have contacted you or the people at live.com (who closed his email account).

I probably should have referred this to our FBI and CIA,

I am referring this to ZOL Management to see if they are concerned for the reputation of ZOL. If they are not, perhaps the entire company is involved, and perhaps I should be talking to the people at RIPE Network Coordination Centre in the Netherlands, who seem to be responsible for your connection to the Internet, or SkyVision Holdings Ltd. in the United Kingdom, who feed the eris-pluto.zol.co.zw (196.201.1.185) router from eris-fa0-0.jc.tan-net.com (213.255.219.78).

Good Day

Thank you for your continued support.I am sorry if it seems like we are neglecting the issue but we are greatful .As we speak my superiors are currently on the issue .Thank you.
