    I have added a reply to the review but my post has already been removed.
    I take it the owner/admin is part of the problem as I did mail them from the contact form and then my reply got removed.
    It is quite damaging for a new business to have more than 300 potential clients receive false info as there has been more than 300 views on the review.

    Good to now that the rest of the world play the same way as Africa.

    You're complaining about a private person's affiliate spam site.
