Scammer Matthew Muro / Dead Plugin

UPDATE: Sept, 01, 2024 – I have received the refund for VFB Pro, after I wrote to the University of Alabama about the issue. Of course, the refund does not cover the damages due to the obsolete plugin. Also, I noticed Matthew has added a notice on the website which says ‘Please note, Buyer Beware: VFB Pro is no longer supported or maintained and will not be receiving regular updates. The plugin still works (depending on your server) but any errors, questions, bugs, etc must be handled by you or an experienced developer. Thank you for your support.’

I used to love his plugin for its features and simplicity. I decided to upgrade to Pro (Developer Bundle), as I provide services to a number of clients. However, I realised that the plugin was no more being updated by the developer, no support is being provided and emails sent to Matthew Muro also did not receive any response. I feel cheated, like many others who have complained about the same issues.

WordPress should remove this plugin from its directory, and there should be a way to also inform ICANN (Domain Registrar) about this scam, so that website can be disabled.

Matthew Muro is a faculty at the University of Alabama, I tried contacting him on his University email, but to no avail. today, I have written to the University Dean about this.
