On 3/17 an ACH of $500 was taken out of My small business account. I had no idea what this was. I called the bank & got the name and phone number of this so called company. I called the and talked to Wayne (who's name you will see in previous rip off reports) I asked what the charge was for and of course it was for an unreturned debit card machine. Sound familiar! I barely remember doing business with this company, so He said he would fax me a copy of my contract & a refund form. A week later nothing. I had the bank try to reverse the ACH, but they said the way it was done, it would be hard to do, and of course it failed.
How did this happen? Almost 5 years ago (5) a salesman came into my store, with a small phone terminal that sold prepaid debit cards. I Was told there was No charge for the machine and I would receive a commission on each sale. The amount of sales would be drawn from my bank account.in 7 I noticed they had taken $75 out of my account, even though I had not sold 1 card. I called & was told it was a set up fee, which I was told there was none from salesman. I then cancelled the contract and returned the machine, I felt then this was a shady operation.
Fast forward to present, almost 5 years latter. I again called and talked to Wayne, who acted like He had never talked to me before. I asked for an address where my lawyer could serve papers and He laughed and told me I was crazy have they never had sales people and to return his machine. I told him I certainly didn't go looking for his service. I tried to ask why it took 5 years to discover I never returned machine, but he hung up on me. I called right back, but the phone was Not answered. About another man called (with a caller ID from CA) and gave me an address in NY City to serve papers at. Imagine My surprise when I did a google search and found their offices 30 miles away in Fla.
After all these reports my first instinct 5 years ago seems right this is a Very Shady Company. I did file a FTC report, along with a police report in my county. I'm also getting a hold of the FBI, Fla. Attorney General, and the sheriff's office in their county. I did email Jackie Calloway at WFTS in Tampa, I"m sure she would love to hear from others who have been victimized by this company.
