i wouldn't call them scam just yet.You see that the site has huge traffic since the down of many other hosts.
Seeing that they face many problems since then.Files are down.Views not counting correctly etc.
Knowing that they have fired their administrator of server and script and they search for new they are in a hole right now.I won't conclude so fast in scamming.They are few days late and get that.its weekend.None is working so i would wait until monday,tuesday.
Then get your hopes down.
How do you know they have fired the administrator ?
