I’m writing to warn other users of problems with bulknews.eu so none of you repeat my mistake since Bulknews hasn’t been mentioned in a few months and the times it was mentioned were due to other TLS/SSL errors of various times. Admittedly this is where I messed up. I’m a big dummy. I don’t want you to be a dummy too.

I attempted to purchase a bulk account a few days ago and was immediately provided with an API error stating that the Certificate Authority could not be verified between Bulknews and their credit card processor. The problem is that I was also charged for the service that was not showing up in my account. I immediately submitted a support ticket to get the issue resolved, but have found that my account is disabled/deleted today. They never answered my support ticket.

Just a warning to other users that might potentially fall into the same trap.
