Truste are a completely rubbish company. They are money grabbing, their fees are extortionate and service is rubbish. Theyve outsourced most of it to India now!
People seem surprised by this, but what did you expect? the company exists to make money, and do so by spending the least amount it can. Their CEO should have been fired, but I guess it just shows you that people are rewarded for this kind of thing.
Can’t stand Truste, I find their stupid logo so annoying!
