...so hopefully you should be able to chase things up quite quickly.

I would email this company: Free Website - Hosting your Homepage for free

http://www.own-free-website.com/impressum.php#support

Inform them that a website been hosted by one of their customers is wrong etc and see what they can do for you.

Might also be worth contacting the company, find out some further information about them.. payment options etc see if that gives you any more information you can use to track them down.

Interesting, the IP address involved appears to be run by very industrious scum bags and hosted on a german ISP
82.98.86.161
Over 100 domains point to it.
The BGP AS belongs to:
PLUSLINE Plus.Line AG IP-Services Mainzer Landstr. 199 60326 Frankfurt Germany

No further help, but I would hope that anyone visiting the site would be able to guess that it's iffy: the poor design, use of Comic Sans on a business site, dodgy payment methods, dubious and capitalization and spacing, "translated from another language" grammar and awful spelling should be give-aways.

Also search on the email brings up lots of forums where they have spammed.

Wow, thought the site looked 'dodgy' without that! Excellent - "well take your money and not even bother to send you anything in return".

I wonder how meny people actually fall for these scam sites? E-mail a "sales" rep on an hotmail address and then send money via Weston Union. Tbh - if you're stupid enough to do it then you deserve to lose your money!

To be fair (?) if it's a free webhosting site I'd expect over 100 domains to point at the IP.

You could be cheeky and contact Boston.com and politely ask them if they can change the contents of Picture of "JONHSON HARRY" (from the "Company Payment Information" page) to be a more appropriate photograph/image ;)
