Umm I was reading the comments, does nobody else go into the page's HTML and delete the "pay now" popup. Usually deleting the code works for me. Let me know if you have a way that works for you!

I guess a lot of people have a strange aversion towards messing with the code of websites. Which is weird and dumb, it's downloaded to your browser, it's not running on their system, you're free to mess with it as much as you want. Best to familiarize yourself with the Web developer tools, they can be an effective weapon against scammy sites which use deceptive methods like this.

Plus the worst thing that can happen is the webpage crashes, just hit reload and you're back baby! It's the safest environment to fuck around with code. A person would have to go out of their way to actually make a problem, maybe some random kid too. They get into everything.
