Three-card-trick merchants. :(

I could not agree with the other terrible reviews more! This company LIES, lies, lies! They hide their fees and then do this "bait and switch" where they tell you half way through your contract that your equipment is outdated and you have to buy THEIR equipment for like $300 to $600! Hmmm..that is interesting since my new processing company is using the same machine without any problems or complaints!

THEY WILL TAKE EVERY SINGLE LAST DIME OF YOUR MONEY. THE FINE PRINT SAYS THEY CAN RAISE YOUR FEES WHENEVER THEY WANT AS LONG AS THEY SEND YOU AN EMAIL.  WHICH YOU ARE LOCKED INTO A 5 YEAR CONTRACT WITH A CANCELLATION FEE OF $500 SO YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY THEM. I NO LONGER AM USING THEM ON MY WEBSITE AND IT'S GOING OUT OF BUSINESS THEY ARE STILL MAKING ME PAY THE $500 FEE WITH NO NEGOTIATION OF LOWERING MY CANCELLATION DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

To start off, they claimed I would receive the equipment immediately. Somehow they lost track of the equipment and I received it AFTER the main event I needed it for.
