More y that you are not aware of. They have no idea what they are doing, there is now AMAZON WEB SERVICE, it should be renamed AMAZON WEB SCAM. Less	Banned for absolutely ... Dec. 7, 2020 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 2.0 User Friendly 2.0 Support 2.0 Features 2.0 I was invited to my team's account. I followed the link in my email to activate my account and was immediately redirected to ... More an "Admin Locked" page. So I opened a support ticket thinking there must have been some kind of mistake. In that ticket, instead of unlocking my account they informed me that I had been flagged for "fraudulent activity that violated the Terms of Service". I replied that this was impossible since I'd never been able to access my account in the first place. They ignored me and upheld the ban and "wished me luck picking a provider" - basically a passive aggressive middle finger to me voicing valid frustration over being treated like a criminal. Do not use this product. Support clearly does not care and treats you like crap. Less
