It was a simple curiosity...

This is a blog about my business against Bad Credit Card Processing Companies.

To be specific, those are called

1) Merchant Account Solutions
2) Integrated Card Services
3) International Card Services
4) iPayment Inc

Well, GUESS WHAT?

All these bad companies listed above are the same company.

They just keep changing names and locations.
What does it tell you???

I found out about this hard way. I hope blogging about my experience will catch people's attention and they make smart choice based on the available information.

I wish I had been more careful and smart about it.......

My story is not about my business but about my battle against those bad companies out there to take advantage of people like us.

Small business owners.

They know that we wear multiple hats and busy with everyday tasks.
Headache after headache, limited resources.....


I was just curious about credit card processing app that I can download on my iPhone.

Click! > yes, magic sound... in your head, of course.

Then I had an app called "I forgot what" -sorry, it was so generic, I don't remember.
It's a generic credit card reading/processing app.
Let's just call it "Your Are Dumb"

The important lesson is:
"Don't download app that you don't know well!!!!"

Well, as stupid as I am, YES, I did.

And Yes, with a little push of excitement, I stupidly applied to get so called "Apply for Free Card Reader!!!"

Hmmmm.......FREE.... I love free stuff. (Who doesn't?)

So, I started to give away my information, like a fool... name of the business. telephone number....

"Ring Ring"!!!!


My business phone rings immediately.

WTF

You Are Dumb App sends my telephone number to some-bad-ass company and their shark sales person started to calling me!!!



Wow......is this magic?


No, it's a scam, dummy...

This was the beginning of my nightmare.....

To-be-continued!
