Great tool! Great fraud protection at a very low price
This is for all my merchants accepting cards online and/or on the phone and any merchant concerned about fraud.
I have been investigating this product for the last week and am very satisfied with the results. Its run by the founders and their support staff is very knowledgeable. Its much better in my opinion than the sites that offer “chargeback guarantees” All of these sites have a reputation of reneging on their guarantee and also are more expensive.
I am suggesting this solution as a value added product to you instead of signing on as a reseller with MaxMind in order to keep the costs to you as low as possible. However if you do begin using them I’d appreciate if you let them know I sent you and also let me know that you are giving it a try. Additionally if you do begin using the product please give me your feedback.
There are no startup costs or agreements to sign. You pay for the transaction costs in packages

They have a few different solutions but for your purposes you will want one of the following.
You can actually start a free demo account that gives you 1000 free minFraud Queries & 100 Premium minFraud Queries which you would populate manually. Once you have a regular account their service can be integrated with your gateway API so it checks everything as soon as the order is entered.
minFraud

MC/Visa settlement-time is running out to sign up for your refund this is found money-it would be foolish not to sign up if you haven’t already done so
“the plaintiffs have until 10/19 to agree to the $7.25 billion settlement. Some of the larger associations that are opposing are being given a small window to make formal opposing arguments to the courts. We expect the courts to want to move fairly quickly on this.”
Please read the below and contact my friend Marc. Besides just getting you “in line” for your portion he will assure you get the maximum amount that you’re eligible for and it should decrease the amount of time you have to wait for funds. There are no upfront fees and no compensation due unless your claim is funded. Just make sure you call Mark direct T 1 212 805 7210 C 1 917 957 2082

This letter is to notify you that your company is eligible for a refund in the Payment Card Interchange Fee Settlement. If your organization accepted Visa and/or MasterCard Credit and/or Debit Cards in the United States at any time from and after January 1, 2004, you are entitled to monetary compensation. Your company would be compensated based on your processed credit card transactions. The projected settlement payout is $4 billion.
Settlement Recovery Group is a leading class action claims filing service, to prepare and submit claims on behalf of our members in the Visa/MasterCard Interchange Fee Settlement. Settlement Recovery Group has agreed to provide its services to our clients at a reduced contingency fee of recovered settlement funds. There are no up-front costs. If Settlement Recovery Group is unable to recover funds on your behalf, then it does not get compensated for its efforts.
Below is a brief description of the class action settlement:
Plaintiffs allege that, between January 1, 2004 and the present, Defendants Visa, MasterCard and several banks including Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup conspired to artificially inflate the prices of interchange fees that merchants’ acquiring banks pay to customers’ issuing banks in a credit or debit card transaction. Since the interchange fees are inflated, the discount fees merchants pay to accept card payments are in turn artificially high, and various rules prevent merchants from challenging the inflated fees.
If you have any questions regarding the settlement or would like to file a claim, please contact our representatives at Settlement Recovery Group for more information:

The Green Sheet published my article!
Wow!
So exciting that our industry’s leading publication actually published an article I sent in!
I’m very humbled & grateful!
MC/Visa settlement now appears to be .4%-.6% or more of dollar volume of cards processed!
It is just giving your hard earned money away not to sign the simple agreement for the below. The settlement now appears to be about 4%-6% of your dollar volume of credit cards processed in the last eight years. Documentation is only required in very large claims which I can provide if necessary.
So that would be about $3,000-$4,000 for every million dollars of total volume over the last eight years or so!
If you haven’t signed up yet contact Marc below as soon as possible. T 1 212 805 7210 C 1 917 957 2082 email Marc.Rosenberg@srgllc.com
