WARNING about the following company:

Financial Credit Merchant Services
FC Merchant Services
FCMS

On 05/7/04;
I was told by Joseph Sorge of FCMS (financial credit merchant services)
that if I send $2500 to them ; they would set me up with credit card
processing. He stated he would send the contract after monies were
received. After the monies were sent by my banks WIRE department, I
sent FCMS confirmation of the wire by EMAIL.

FCMS then sent me the contract with rates almost TWICE as much as previously
quoted (4 hours later, on the same day)

When i requested a refund due to the inflated rates (fraud) on the contract, they refused.
I was out $2500.00

I never received the cc processing service for this money. They kept this money.
The reason I sent the $2500 so quickly was because I was told on the phone by FCMS
" send $2500 and we will LOWER the fees , but you have to send it today and you will be setup in two days "

The agent who referred me (as of the date of this posting) still has not received the $500 promised.

Please remember, (as of the date of this posting) NO SERVICE has been provided for this money.
Email and Phone calls to the members of this LLC have gone unanswered.

Here are the members of this company:

No fraud has taken place. I have offered many times to have Mr. Mikhals processing. He was sent out a contract with a $2,500.00 application fee posted on it prior to May 16, 2004. He sent in the $2,500.00 fee on 5/14/2004. He then proceeded to say he had been lied to about the amount of the fees. I agreed to change the fees to the requested amounts and sent out a new contract with the application fee zeroed out since he had already paid it. I am prepared to live up to the contract he signed. We are in the process of litigation and I hope when the Judge dismisses this case he is just as diligent posting the results of the case as he has been in slandering our good name on countless bulletin boards.
