WorldPressIt.com Threatened Me With Legal Action for Trustpilot Review
Immediately after installing the plugin I purchased from WorldPressIt.com I was contacted by the plugin developer to let me know that the software was not genuine and that I was likely the victim of pirated software. Concerned for my security I deleted the plugin and made a review here on Trustpilot. Since posting this review I have been contacted by WorldPressIt.com who was able to clarify a few points and has threatened me with legal action. I am happy to amend my review in light of the information that WorldPressIt.com has sent me, and I remain happy with my decision to avoid WorldPressIt.com and deal directly with the plugin vendors.
