Scam "Live" Chat!


So, below that is how it turns out finally! 
There is NO "Live" Chat!

After redirection to the payment page, a window pops up, overlaying the small print, that they charge you anyhow amount from your card!

Because you want an answer, you don't mind paying $5 refundable deposit..., as stated on their main page, before you got redirected!
