This person 'Michael Shvartsman', of Admeris Payment Services, who is also mentioned in the RipOffReport.Com reports on Conquest Financial Services, appears to operate Pricedodger.Com as well, some kind of daily deal web site in Toronto, Canada. I found this 'whois' listing for it when I saw an Admeris Payment Systems press release announcing their partnership.
Reading all the shocking allegations of scams above which included Michael Shvartsman, Jeremy Murray, Conquest Financial Servives and Admeris Payment Systems in those RipoffReports made me wonder what other businesses might be operating out of the same address and which were connected to any of these. And I found:

On another 'Whois'-type website I found:
"PriceDodger.com | Toronto Deal of the day | Toronto Daily Deals | Toronto Group buying | Save money on Spa?s, restaurant?s, salons, activities and much more" and the description is "Your city's best deals at 50% to 90% off.

So Michael Shvartsman, associated with Conquest Financial (of RipOffreport.Com fame) and quoted on a press release as being Managing Director at Admeris Payment Systems also operate PriceDodger.Com, all out of the same business premises at 326 Adelaide St West 4th floor, Toronto, Canada?
Am I surpised to then find this press release?:

Fraud and Organized Crime
How is it that people suspected of having ties to Organized Crime are able to start up a Business that is involved with the collection of Credit Card Transactions and Money Lending. The Shvartsman Family from Toronto Ontario, Klara, Michael and Gerald, owners of the long deceased million dollar nightclub in the West Edmonton Mall known as KAOS, were accused of having ties to the Russian Mafia by the Edmonton Police Services. This action along with the police warning people to not go to this nightclub for safety reasons resulted in the Shvartsman’s closing the bar in the late 1990’s. Law Suits followed and The Shvartsman family left Edmonton, to return to Toronto and also set up roots in Boynton Beach Florida..."

Underneath that particular ScamInformer report I find this allegation concerning PriceDodger.Com left by a reader about a year ago:
"339 days ago by JAhope
They now have also included a company called "Pricedodger.com" website is called "www.pricedodger.com"
Its a day deal website. I had a run in with this crooks when they tried to hold on to my check. They even run phoney sales numbers on the website to make it look like a lot of people are buying. Very shady group of people."
Are all of these ScamInformer allegations true? I don't know and can't say if they are ort aren't. But I DO know that this unflattering report on Conquest Financial Services, supposedly by an ex-employee, was posted on RipOffReports.Com, "Conquest Financial Scam Misleading claims, horrible customer service & cancellation fee Toronto Ontario. I was not a client but am actually an ex-employee who left Conquest Financial within the past few months (because I realized exactly how bad I was scamming clients)..." Read this Full Ripoffreport on Conquest Financial services at http://www.ripoffreport.com/financial-services/conquest-financial-s/conquest-financial-scam-mislea-nd6dn.htm
Again, I can't speak for the validity or otherwise of that RipoffReport on Conquest Financial Services.
But this certainly appears to be one tight little circle of companies!

Nope. Won't find them at THAT address in 'Thornhill. ON'! And an 'F' rating from the Better Business Bureau????
So finally we are back to the 326 Adelaide St West, 4th floor, Toronto, Ontario address shared by Conquest Financial Services, Admeris Payment Systems, PriceDodger.Com and other related businesses and which seems to be no stranger to the comings and goings of Michael Shvartsman and Jeremy Murray, both featured in RipOffReports - where we find conveniently listed for us the same apparent STREET address for PriceDodger.Com but in two different CITIES which are in reality in two different COUNTRIES!
