I've just found this thread.

3 weeks after the OP the same email address still appears on the support 
page when you have billing questions:
[email protected]

If you're not monitoring this address can't you at least remove this 
address from the page and tell us what to do there in case of problems? 
 Surely that would only take 5 minutes and save a whole lot of frustration.

many thanks.
