SPAM!

This is a most basic plugin, designed for one purpose only – to get you to upgrade. But even there, the plugin author can’t be trusted. The plugin says that for MailChimp or other features, all you need to do is upgrade to the ‘lite’ version of the Advanced plugin. So I did that, after giving them my email address.

But once I installed it, guess what? Yep, MailChimp wasn’t available unless I actually paid for the full, Advanced version.

So I was bait-and-switched into wasting around 30 minutes of my time, which I am billing to my client. Or at least I was, until I realized I can’t bill my client for scam artists wasting my time!
