    The vendor they’re using for the id checks is called K-ID based in Singapore.

    Good thing is that it made me remember I had Nitro on autopay from 4 years ago. Been meaning to cancel it for years and the reminder was much appreciated.

      you should check your bank statements, and cancel some more subscriptions you forgot.

      heck, check your statements almost monthly. you’d be shocked at the silly little things that appear that you forgot about and you’ll suddenly have more money not tied up with useless things that you don’t even use. :)
