AI ML/API: Is A Scam: Broken APIs
AI/ML API
Estonia-Based AI/ML API Scammed Our Development Team Part of a development team that got burned by this fraudulent operation. Like my colleague "soul_provider" already documented, this Estonia-based AI/ML API is running a sophisticated scam targeting developers and businesses. They DON'T have an actual inference business - just a fake website displaying LLMs claiming "better deals" Once they get your credit card, they charge you multiple times BEFORE you even use the API Their "system" (if it exists) is 98% down - you cannot make a single 2-minute successful API call APIs consistently returned 400/403 errors across ALL premium models Identical integration code worked perfectly with legitimate providers (OpenRouter, Together AI) We're experienced developers - we know when the problem is on their end Payment system designed to fail, forcing you to enable auto-topup Each failed click triggers backend queries that authorize MULTIPLE payments instead of single payment Once they get your money, good luck getting refunds! Multiple unauthorized charges after signing up for simple pay-as-you-go plan Services never functioned despite charges Months of ignored refund requests No legitimate business information or physical address Suspiciously generic 5-star reviews with zero technical details Customer support only responds to public complaints, ignores private tickets When we posted factual reviews, they immediately tried to bribe us to remove reviews in exchange for refunds they'd been ignoring for months. Classic scammer manipulation. Please listen to us - we're a group of experienced developers who got scammed! Don't make our mistake. There are dozens of legitimate AI API providers that actually deliver working services. We've since successfully integrated with OpenRouter and Together AI - both are professional operations with functional APIs and real customer support. Save your time and money - use ANY provider except this Estonian scam operation.
