I rang the 2 numbers... The first number although the guy was helpful as he could be, he did not know anything about freepgs. I did ask if lvcs was experiencing any problems and he said no. The 2nd number redirected me to a call centre in the Philippines, again they did not know anything about freepgs or lvcs legacy.
At time of posting I have not received any responses to emails or the support ticket.
I have started the process with PayPal to get my money back.
If freepgs do come back with some responses I will of course be happy to renew my subscription again.
It's only speculation, but all I can think of is that something has happened to the owner...been in an accident, sort of hope not
