I don't feel comfortable posting their messages without their permission, but it was a no-frills, direct answer to my request.

And how could this be a scam? They can easily see the traffic on the instances in question. The scam is that I only pay them $300 this month?

They are a company. IMO posting their email is fair play. It's not an individual.

I never said you are a scammer. You're not. But this potentially sets a precedent for future users to be reckless and want the same favor granted to you.
