Fraud
I am a very new business owner, and I was in search of a portable or wireless credit card machine so that I can sell items at flea markets and different locations. I spoke with a representative of Priority Payment Systems by the name of Lance, and he told me that I have to sign an application in order to see if I am approved for a merchant account and to fax over a voided check. After doing all that was asked, Lance emails me another set of documents to lease equipment AFTER I PREVIOUSLY told him I'm NOT interested in any leases. He reassured me that I could do a month to month lease if I decided to have a credit card machine sent to me AND I can cancel at any time I wish. I told him I'm not sure about the credit card lease so I did NOT sign it. Another representative called and asked if I am ready for my credit card, and I said no I'm not. I want to do some more research before I decided because I'd rather buy my own machine than to lease. Over 30 days later - I'm getting an automated payment to this company for $30.98 without receiving any or wanting any services. This automatic payment overdrew my business account so I have to file a complaint with my bank. I have no equipment and glad I never asked for any. I tried calling, emailing, having other people call, but they would not answer any of the calls. I left a message and never received a returned call. I was able to get in contact with a receptionist once and she told me that she could not connect me to Lance or any other representative and that they're offices are at different locations. -_- Why IN THE WORLD would they need a receptionist if their offices are located at several different places?! I'm being prayerful that they refund my money to my account and warn any one else to NOT sign up with Priority Payment Systems. It is discouraging and frustrating to know that there are companies doing what they can to take money away from honest, hard-working people.
