Thank you for your 5* review!
credit card payment
The product was very good my biggest concern for me was how my credit card was not good for me and was very concerned on how it was done .
when it came for paying somebody new my card number and my security code on the back of my card I did not have to do a thing and I do not understand how this was done , and I do not like that I felt insecure and still do I don't think I could do that again sorry Thank you Graham Clarke
