704-325-5454 - Called Themselves "NMS Payments", Caller ID Shows "Newton, NC"
Wanting To Set Up An Appointment To Save Our Company Money On Credit Card Processing.....
There Are Too Many Companies Scamming And Ripping People Off That Start Out Offering To "Save" You Money On Your Credit Card Processing For Me To Consider Any Of These Calls......
I Found Complaints For "National Merchant Services LLC" - But I Don't Know If It's The Same Company...
I Found "Native Merchant Services" - Again I Don't Know If It's The Same Company.....
What I'm Saying Is - With Such An Ambiguous Name, I'm Skeptical Of Them From The Start.....
I Can't Find Any Complaints Against Them YET Under "NMS Payments" Exactly, But The NC Office Seams To Be New.... If You Consider Using Them, I'd Advise Checking Them Out Thoroughly First.....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Any Processor ---
I'm Saying This For Any Company - Not Just This One - Protect Yourself And Your Business From Any Card Processor.....
- Get Everything In Writing BEFORE The Representative Leaves Your Place - Make Copies Of It Yourself If You Have To & Make The Representative Sign Every Page Of Your Copy As Well - A Company That Won't Give You A Written Copy Is Probably Up To Something No Good.....
- Leave NO Spaces Blank Put $0.00 Or N/A Or Something There - Spaces Left Blank Can And More Often Than Not - Wind Up Filled In After You Sign And With Extra Charges They Said Nothing About...
- NEVER Sign Up For Equipment Leases - You Will End Up Paying $1200 - $ 4800 (Or More) For A Terminal You Can Buy For $ 300 Or Less.... I Don't Know If It Will Hold Up In Court (I'm Not An Attorney) Have Your Representative Write On Your Copy - There Is NO Equipment Lease..... Because Some Companies Send Equipment Out Of The Blue You Didn't Know You Signed Up For - DON'T Accept It - Refuse Delivery.....
- Better Yet - Research The Company You're Considering Thoroughly That They Have Been In Business For Awhile And Are Not Racking Up A Bunch Of Complainants And/Or Ripoff Reports.....
- NEVER Sign More Than A One Year Contract - Better Yet - No Contract Time....
Called Again Today - This Time Caller ID Says "Nova Merchant S"........ (Nova Has A Lot Of Complaints...)
Again Wanting To Set Up An Appointment For Thursday To "Save" Me Money On Credit Card Processing.....
It's Also Super Annoying When Any Company Tries To "Obligate" Me To Be There For Their Salesperson's Convenience..... If You Want To Stop By Here, Stop By At MY Convenience - I Don't Feel The Least Bit Obligated To Be Here Ready For Your Salesman To Try To Sell Me On Something I Said Over The Phone Already I Wasn't Interested In......
I Also Don't Ever Trust A Caller That Changes Caller ID's Every Time They Call....
I Asked Him What Their Company Name Was And This Time He Said Something Like "A & O Solutions".......
Can't Find Anything On That....
I Can't Find Any Company With The Phone Number He's Calling From So I Believe It To Be A Third Party Call Center Looking To Hook The Unsuspecting Into Long Equipment Leases And High Fees......
Once More I Reiterate - PLEASE At Least Check Out Anyone THOROUGHLY Before Selecting A Credit Card Processor.....
Credit Card Merchant Services Is Quickly Becoming The Biggest Scam Out There ! !
BUT Whatever You Do - Avoid Companies Telemarketing You And Never Sign Up For Equipment Leasing..... AND NO - They Aren't Going To Save You What They Promise - Mostly All They Say Is Lies ! ! !
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Search For A Good Company Like "Payline Data", Or "CDG Commerce", Or "Helcim", Or "Host Merchant Services", And So On..... One With No Long Contract And No Equipment Lease......
Check - https://www.merchantmaverick.com For Reviews (As Well As Other Sites) And Search For "best merchant services for small business" Or Something Like That - THEN When You Find A Company You Like Search Their Name Along With "Ripoff" And Their Company Name Along With "Complaints".....
