Sitestar.com Unethical practices - Rips off customers - Sitestar unethiclly charges for cancelled hosting services and hides behind an unenforcable service contract

Sitestar tries to collect hosting charges for websites they no longer host.

They claim all their customers are bound to this unsigned, unacknowledged and unenforceable service agreement which is the most unethical piece of crap ever written, as shown below...
