Criminal Scam Website
This website is literally a scam and criminal. They got a hold of my coworker's stolen cashapp card info, and made nearly 30 transactions of $10 to $15 each, she's never even heard of this company and there's no way to contact them to refund the stolen money. They successfully robbed her of so far over $400.

Good afternoon. We would like to look into this situation to correct your opinion of us. Can you please tell me your ID or email?
Numbers either don't work
Numbers either don't work, or are not in stock (even if they say they are they will just send voIPs), or are shadowbanned. Service doesn't speak english or pretend they don't understand. Scam.

Hello. Please tell me why you have this impression about us?
Affordable and fast
I ordered +92 Pakistani Numbers and at first I was confused why I wasn't recieving an OTP (like the guy below me) but after a chat with the live chat they told me I needed to have the same country IP to get the OTP for that country. So I asked my Pakistani friend to login, then recieve it for me and it came within just 3 seconds! Totally recommend 8/10 🙂
