UNABLE TO CANCEL MY WEBAFRICA SERVICE
Worst company ethics that I've ever seen. Lack of communication channels. They are only using WhatsApp and they won't CANCEL my service - not a company to be trusted and now they want to charge me FEES and make threats on WHATSAPP! I've already dealt with numerous support team members and as soon as they hear cancellation, they transfer me to someone different!!! I also send an email to ***
