The plugin spams dashboard with the banner that cannot be dismissed and keeps reappearing.
Credit Card Fraudsters
They never refunded me after my cancellation request, they charged me another month. They don’t respond to my support emails. The free plugin works so poorly, you may as well just learn to install
