Cold Call from a telemarketer offering "lower fees to process your business credit cards".
Called on my personal cell number (on the DNC List for more than 3 years) looking for 'the business owner'.
Tried to pitch me for changing to their service - I asked her to tell me the last time she had heard of anyone who bought a home or a piece of property using a credit card. Hmmm....perhaps a bit more research was needed before she opted to make that call. Real estate offices and credit cards, probably not a good mix.
Number doesn't come up as a business - no info found. Probably a VoIP phone number to look like someone in my local area. The company name she used was SO generic as to be useless on a Google search.
Since I had a bit of time to kill I asked her about any "fees" associated with this deal - it was loaded up with them.
A statement fee $7.50/ month
48 month lease fee - varies with the equipment that you buy
Monthly service fee - $8.75/month
per transaction fee $0.25/swipe
transaction fee - 1.785% up to 2.185% of the purchase amount
...old MacDonald had a bank..E, I, E, I, O, here a fee, there a fee - everywhere a fee - fee.....and on and on it goes.
