Hi Enigmax,
I spoke to Anchor Free and subsequently mailed the details for clarification. Below is the transcript of the e-mail correspondence substantiating your inference of VPN4LIFE is a scam.

I would appreciate if you could add this to you earlier post.

Ravishankar,

I would like to let you know that VPN4LIFE is a scam. They are reselling our
product without our knowledge. Our legal and PR are in the process of taking
care of this. Please release to the community the following statement.

"We want to make it very clear that AnchorFree and Hotspot Shield are in no
way affiliated with VPN4Life. We are saddened to learn that people have
fallen prey to the site's false offers, and urge anyone who has been mislead
to purchase our service through the site to file a complaint with PayPal for
a full refund. The real Hotspot Shield is 100% free and can be instantly
downloaded at:http://www.hotspotshield.com."

We would like to thank you for your dedication and helping us in hard
situations.

Regards,

AnchorFree Management
