Anyone know any more or if this is true now?
This story is absolute rubbish. Can you imagine any company advocating the use of the phrase, "OK, go then", to a paying customer that's unhappy with their services? It's a brilliantly stupid fabrication by 'someone at work'.

I work for VM in Customer Retention and I can confirm this is not the case. Neither is it the case that customers will have money thrown at them to stay.
