anonymousbtcsms here. This is not a scam website. As I stated in my previous comment, we are having issues with our integrations with Coinbase. Because I have been out of the USA, they refuse to service my support tickets. I am in the process of moving over to Bitpay, but I have not had the bandwidth recently to tackle that project so I have manually been entering in payments as I see them. As a result, the payments…

Would love to hear a timeline as well, AFAIK in these kind of situations they are normally included. It's not as bad if someone doesn't reply in 24h as if someone doesn't reply in 1 month.

ironically, both websites serve predominantly scammers who need SMS to verify with various websites to commit fraud.
