CAN’T FIND A TELEPHONE LINE NEARBY? – SOLUTIONS NEBO CORDLESS

Hi,

I have tested this new technology and it works fantastic. Literally takes just a few seconds to hook up and your current dialup terminal becomes a wireless terminal with full encryption for safety. You just plug in one piece into your phone jack and power supply and the other piece into your cc terminal and power supply. It’s that easy! I tested it all over my building through walls and different floors and it worked great. The wireless technology it uses is rated for 1,000 feet but figure 300 feet to be safe. Best of all its only $99 for each kit!

If you can use one or know of someone who could use one give me a call.

Cheers!

Bill

if you have an iPhone 3G or 3GS I can offer you a free credit card swiper

Hi,

You can transform your iPhone into a secure payment portal. As far as security it uses complete end to end encryption (better than competitors’ SSL only) This is not a cheap add on but a fully functional device manufactured by Verifone one of the most trusted names in the industry. There are small setup/monthly/transaction fees but considerably less than regular wireless cc terminals.

This is a personal offer available to my clients. For product testimonial feel free to call Jessica Church at Ticket One 781-762-8088.

See the unit at http://paywaremobile.com/media/3935/merchant_literature.pdf than call me for details.

Canadian Ticketbrokers

Hi,

I now have the ability to open merchant accounts for Canadian clients. We can offer considerable savings because traditionally payment processing is done by a few banks in Canada that have fixed their discount rates quite high. Accounts have already been opened so the “kinks” have been worked out.

Feel free to contact me for details.

referrals/state of the payment processing industry

Because of my long hours and the fact that almost 100% of my accounts come from client referrals I am very proud of the service I give my clients. This is because I am involved in an industry which unfortunately often still resembles used car sales as far as reputation and rightly so. However that eventually works to our favor as we demonstrate to our merchants and prospects that we are a beacon of honesty, great customer service and true fair pricing in an otherwise tarnished industry which I’m sure that you have gotten a taste of firsthand.

The reasons date back to the original days of cc processing when no or very little residuals were paid on a merchant account to the ISO and rep after it was opened. So the only way a rep could make money was to get a new account bonus and sell or even worse do a lease/purchase equipment at vastly inflated prices. Even though the opportunity now exists to make a marvelous six figure annual residual stream most ISO’s, acquirers and banks have not outgrown that mindset as their typical “training” is a day of hard sell, hard close instruction and then they release the new rep with instructions to haunt restaurants and shopping malls. Consequently the average rep quits in six months or less.

Because of my long hours and the fact that almost 100% of my accounts come from client referrals I am very proud of the service I give my clients. This is because I am involved in an industry were unfortunately almost 100% of my competitors quote rates that if true would be under water so consequently they quote you a teaser rate and than proceed to downgrade all of your rewards, business and corporate cards to a higher rate. In addition they charge hidden fees, annual fees, etc. I’m in the industry and sometimes it takes me awhile to properly interpret a statement. Also there are currently about 200 different types of cards which all carry their own rates so we have to make sure that although we give our merchants the best rate possible we also have to make sure we won’t lose money on an account. And of course with us you have 24/7 Level 2 support without having to hit multiple prompts and get put on permahold just to talk to an inexperienced “customer service” rep. The average firm in our industry loses 35% of their merchants per year. Matrix loses less than 1/10 of one percent so there must be a reason for that.

Recently talking with two of our acquirers we asked how many of their ISO’s concentrate on not having their merchants suffer transactions that downgrade to a higher rate. One that has over 1,000 ISO’s said just one-us. The other one has 298 ISO’s and they said two.

Merchant Fraud Alert

To All Merchants,

We received the below fraud notification from our First Data today. Please read carefully.

If any merchant receives one of these fax notices, we would request a copy be provided to us so we can forward to First Data. They will record the information and communicate with the proper parties.

Subject: Merchant Fraud Alert
Importance: High

Issue Type: Reported Fraud Attempts at Merchant Locations

Issue Overview: Reported Fraud Attempts at Merchant Locations

In the last week, we have received several reports of attempted (or actual) fraud at merchant locations. The modus operandi of the fraud attempt is that a fax is delivered to a merchant location instructing the clerk/manager to run a “refund” on a card due to a consumer refund not being processed. The fax has the appearance of coming from the corporate office and for all intents looks legitimate. In some cases we have seen, the faxes include a description of the goods originally purchases (then returned), are apparently signed by a Sr. Executive of the company and are on what appears to be company letterhead; all of which adds an element of authenticity to the fax. Additionally, the stores are instructed to fax a copy of the refund receipt to a specific fax number.

According to the Corporate Offices of the impacted merchants, this faxes are not legitimate.

User Impact:

At this time, we know of four attempts and at least two of them appear such that the merchant did in fact follow the instructions of the fax and processed a refund on the card. The issue seems to be, based on the information we have now, targeted to mid-market Supermarkets and does not seem to be isolated exclusively to a single FDC platform. Given the lack of information aside from the four known issues, we are unable to determine at this time how wide spread this issue might be, or if it is singularly targeted to Supermarket merchants.

Resolution / Next Steps:

FDC is in contact with both Visa/MC regarding this issue and has escalated our concerns within their fraud areas.

Additionally, we are attempting to contact the issuer(s) of the known cards for assistance in this matter.

We are taking this matter very seriously, however we have limited to no ability to proactively mitigate the processing of these refunds at merchant locations.

As such, it is imperative that you communicate to your merchants that we have seen this occur recently and for them to guard themselves against fraudulent activity. If they have any questions regarding the legitimacy of a “refund request” like described above, they should contact their corporate office for guidance and clarification.
