800-323-1007

They call all the time and say they are with our merchant account, which we do not have. They are a 3rd party, regardless of their attempts to try and gain contact with business owners, they are just trying to sell themselves

Received a message from "Chris" calling from "FTA" about a "merchant account" asked for call back at (800) 323-1007 x 3869.  Usually any calls about a merchant account are sales calls trying to sell you credit card machines for your small business

Received a call from "Tony" on 3870.  Wanted to talk about a merchant account, which we do not have.  After fishing for information under false pretenses, we hung up.

Calls at least 1-2x per week. This time it was "Natasha" to discuss a "merchant account," which we do not have.

We apparently got a very insistent call from "Jamie" to discuss merchant accounts that should have been resolved in April.  Funny, because we have no merchant accounts as I understand them.  She asked to speak to the owner (me) and would provide no information to my assistant.  Clearly some kind of scam.

call from 1-800-323-1007-Jamie xt 6683 trying to scam us into switching our merchant account

Call from Ryan at 800-323-1007, ext 6685

Ryan calling from FTA calling to speak with you about a couple of aspects of your merchant account.

asked to return call to him at 800-323-1007, ext 6685

bs - our merchant account processor knows who we are and they know how to contact us and these numbers don't match any of its numbers.

Jerry Nelson - insists to speack to the conact person (owner of the company) 800 323 1007 ex:3869 - About his merchant acount which does not exists - SCAM!

They were very helpful, it was little confusing at first, but once i spoke to sra, i was saving  money

Believe me I get what you are saying, seemed a little fishy, but I had their rep out and he provided some good info.

A michal davis from FTA called at 10:18 a.m on 1/6/2010 even though I am on the Do Not Call Registry. He said he wanted to speak to me about a merchant account.  He left the # 1-800-323.1007 x3870 but the Caller ID listed the # as private 480-214-8749.

Call re: merchant account which I do not have. Soliciting?  Caller ID different than call back # of 800-323-1007

Yes I have received at least 3 calls from this number so far so I am glad to find this reference.  I got calls from "Sean" and "Susan" asking about a Merchant Account, which I don't have.

I've been called twice from 443-629-1894 asking me to call back to 800-323-1007 x3859.  They say there's something wrong with my merchant account, which is interesting because ... I DON'T HAVE ONE!!!!  An obvious scam.  I'm glad I researched the number and found this site before calling them back.

Received a call from FTA. My caller ID says 480-214-8749, but the message said to call 800-323-1007 x3808 for Brian Messer.  He says they are not a third party.  He says they are the top of the food chain, that all the third parties charge fees then just pass the transactions to them.  He says based on our low risk and our length of time accepting cards, we can just bypass the middle man and go directly to FTA.  They want to have me fax them copies of our merchant account statements (blacking out the account numbers is okay) to verify that we have had no chargebacks.  But I'm suspicious.  If they are the top of the food chain, then they should know our record is clean.  Now I'm glad I did this very quick web research to see who they are.  I don't think I'll be sending that fax.  BTW.  the fax number is 866-415-5031.

You're an idiot if you're a business owner who takes credit cards and thinks that you don't have a merchant account. I've had a credit card machine for my small business for 3 years now, and it is definitely functioning ONLY because I have a merchant account. That's what a merchant account does for you, it allows you to collect money with plastic. Anyway, I met with the sra for that FTA company and it saved me a couple hundred bucks a month on my processing fees. Yeah I had to install a new credit card machine but so what! It was worth it. How is it a scam if it saves you money? You tell me.

got same message saying they were from my merchant acount which i also do not have.  just have to block them.

wish you could stop calls to businesses like you can to homes.  my home is my business and i get hundreds of calls.

Received several calls from 800-323-1007 asking me to call ext 3867 about my merchant account. I assume this is some kind of scam. They say the name of their compnay is FTA

I keep getting calls from 800-323-1007.  This one left a message from someone named Eric from the FTA at ext 3859.  Last time he said his name was Michael Hamilton at the same extension.  Said he was a risk analyst regarding our merchant account.  When I asked him to tell me the name of the merchant that he is referring to he seemed nervous and could not give me a name.  I told him that I found it very odd that it would be so vital for my boss to return his call regarding our merchant carrier when he couldn't even give me the name of the carrier.  Tried to say he doesn't deal with that side of the business which is again odd to me when you are orignally saying you are calling directly about the merchant.  He swore it was not a sales call though. Total scam!

They actually offer a somewhat legit service, but are the sleaziest people you will ever deal with.  DO NOT SET UP A MEETING WITH THEM!  In the last 2 years they have been threatened by my CFO to never call our company on 2 different occasions, both times that lasted about 4 months.  Just got another phone call today wanting to speak with the CFO, when I told them she was on a family vacation in Rhode Island they claimed "this is an emergency and I will need you to give me her personal number". WTF!!!  I told them no chance in hell im giving my bosses personal number away for a sales call, then of course I got the response "we are not selling anything".  Bull [***]!  You want our business in order to make money off of us, yet this is not a sales call?   Of course after I hung up on them they immediately called back yelling "im not trying to sell you anything, i just need to speak with your CFO".  Needless to say they got hung up on again.
