Something is off with this site. I attempted to purchase credits today, but when I attempted to use Paypal, was directed to some site controlled by Revolute, which asked me to register.. Seems to be an outfit started and run by some russians. If I tried to pay by card it directed me to a site with NO padlock symbol, meaning it was not secure. The contact page states Phone: Temporarily unavailable - expected reinstatement 1st March 2025. Hav messaged to ask what is going on

Mike Looks like the site has been hacked or cloned.

It sI receieved a reply to my email this morning:

Hi Mike,

My mistake, apologies.

I have only just transferred to Stripe as a payment processor, much cheaper and less bureaucratic than WorldPay.

However, in so doing I did not add the PayPal payment option, which I now have done.

Please can I ask you to try again? You will note that there is a slight delay when opening the payment page before the PayPal option is displayed at the top of the page.

Best wishes

Tony

Have now paid by Paypal and this went through OK., though there still seems to be this Rervolute option, which seems a bit peculiar

Abit of topic
i needed to contact 02 the other day i googled it
o2 top of search page so i entered no into phone
and Russian Cyrillic writing came up with number

The entries at the top of the search page often say "sponsored".
A friend used one of those to contact his insurers after a minor bump. (He used the number from the first entry). When he called in at the insurer's office next day the company knew nothing about his bump - he had not spoken to them at all.
I avoid all those and go to those which don't say "sponsored". I also check carefully any website details.
