TrialPay is a legit company, but I’m pretty sure that isn’t their support email. It looks like a fake email with a TrialPay logo on it doesn’t it?
I didn’t send any money. It was a deal my girlfriend was going to do, and I was looking it over to make sure nothing suspicious was up with it. I don’t like the idea of sending MoneyGrams. She’s calling TrialPay tomorrow to clarify what their support email address is, and checking if this is a scam.
