I own a startup business that has not aquired funding. I was contacted out of the blue by one of their salesmen. He made the free pitch, so I agreed he could come to my place of business and discuss details, although I wasn't planning to open for business until the spring and told him I told him I had no current interest in processing cards until I can open for business. He said there is a $60 fee, but not until I actually process my first transaction, he also said the monthly charge would not start till then and I could return the equipment any time at no charge. Upon arrival he showed me a video of Terry Bradshaw claiming how it's free and legitimate. The fees he quoted were less than most companies I had checked out.
Then he pulled the battery out of his laptop, plugged into my power. He set up some little plastic pad and pencil deal and asked that I sign my name to apply for services and to verify my account to have authorization for processing deposits, when I begin using the system. This looked like a piece of equipment that was in the video for credit card or check verification use. He also asked for a voided check from the account. I abliged. Then he called someone on the phone and handed it to me. The lady asked me the address to ship their equipment. I verified the address. The guy left and assured me that I had no financial obligation of any kind until I begin processing. Five days later I just got to my shop and retrieved a FED EX package from my neighbor. As soon as I did the guy calls and says he's right outside and needed to set up thier equipment and show me how it works.
He activated it and reiterated "not to worry about only having $10 in my newly established company account", as I had also explained I am broke from all the bills I pay from my min. Wage job. He left some papers on one of my tables and left. I later looked at what he'd left. It was the tittle page and pages 10-22 of terms and conditions. Well I was never offered an application contract and now I see a partial terms and conditions. I disconected the box from my power and internet connection (the damn thing doesn't even come with a hookup cord, he had to use mine). Then a week later, I'm emailed about being charged a $35 return fee from my bank. Oh' I called and have never talked to people who are so casual about the evil they perpetrate. They act as if it is normal proceedure to lie and insnare innocent victims in a trap as if we are some sort of game animals. After admitting that's what was done to me, they blamed it on thier rep. Who is a contractor, and offer no remmedy.
On the contrary, they are still bent on cleaning out your account without regard of moral complicity. Then I found out how they swindel the contractors and force them to do this sort of bidding. Capitalism is not served by pure greed. It has to be a two way street. The bank that owns this company is as illegal as they can get away with and only legit as forced to be. The wretched fools who contract to do their fraudulant bidding will put up two or three posts about what a sweet company this is. What will they do when Christ returns. You know the only violent thing he'll do is turn the tables on those who are in with this company. Thier beloved Satan will be waiting.
