I just received a call from these [***] for about the 12th time in a year.  I have taken to just hanging up at the word 'FTA' - don't bother trying to figure out if they have a legitimate reason for calling you ar not - they don't and never will have one.

If you get a call from this number, please report to https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx

I have received more than one call and they are asking for personal information claiming to 'save me money."

They called today.  She wants to talk to owner to "to go over a few things on our Merchant Services Account"  Well I handle the credit card services and I have never heard of the fta.  So I looked them up.  Junk.  She says. "it's a lot to explain"' so she "needs to speak directly with the owner"  I don't think so buddy.  She had no info to give me, she doesn't know anything about my account so she must want to sell me something or get info from me,  You know banks know how these frauds work so they only contact you by mail to tell you to call them.  I can not stand a telemarketer that won't give the assistant enough info to present to the owner.  He won't call you back if it's not legit.  That's why I answer the calls.:)

Rude!! Who the hell do they think they are to call with absolutly no verification of who they are and request that i pull the doctor out of a surgery because they have "very import issues" with his merchant account! Ok buddy, i wasn't born yeterday. Report these people if they call you! I feel bad for the dumb people who give their information out so freely to people like this!

Rude, difficult people.  I've filed a complaint with the Do Not Call registry.

They called saying they were FTA and calling about our merchant account.  Everyone is correct when they say THEY ARE ANNOYING and REFUSE TO QUIT CALLING.  It is a hindrance to our business and is tieing up our phone lines.  I have reported it the AG but we are still getting phone calls.  Any other suggestions on how to stop the HARRASSMENT???

I've gotten a number of calls from this number.  The caller id's him or herself as from the FTA and says they are calling about my merchant account and that I should return their call ASAP.  I don't have a merchant account with them, so if it's not a scam, then they are using very devious and dishonorable marketing techniques.

I know this is a tough job market, but these callers need to find an honorable job.

A On a scale of A+ to F

They just called. It looks to me like they are trying to get your credit card processing business, using shady tactics. I am sure the fist part about "risk assessment" isnt for anything nefarious, that's just they're opening to get you thinking you have low, low risk for the service the wont admit they want to provide...it was kind of funny. I was asking them "what is in this for you?" if they arent "selling anything". He said nobody ever asked him that before--he doesnt know! HAH! Once it "appears" to jerk 1 that you are "low risk" he wants to set you up with "jerk 2" just to check your merchant statement to make sure there are "no chargebacks". That is when they likely just try and switch you to their processing. You have probably been asked to do this 10 times last year between phone calls and walk-ins. VERY competative business--these [***] just go over the line trying to trick you into thinking it is something new and better. No idea if their rates are actually good or not, but it sounds like the type of company that would forget to tell you about a $39 monthly statement fee! Just FYI folks it seems like a rate that is abot 35-45 basis points over what the publishes M/C Visa rates are is when all these "low, low" rate guys start not coming back. on 10K a month theyll make 40 or 50 bucks--less in slower months. About the best you can do unless someone else knows different.

It really is a scam. I've received multiple calls from these folks claiming that they can save me money on my merchant account transactions. They request all kinds of financial information that they should already have. I've already filed a FTC complaint and may file another if the current FTA person keeps leaving messages.

Just so you know, the BBB is a scam as well.
Most people make the assumption that this "bureau" it is a government agency, but it is surely not. Its simply a shake down on businesses with something to hide... Nearly ANY number of complaints will be removed and the business will be given a good rating, as long as you pay them.
When I see a business boasting about being BBB approved, I take it as a sign they are trying to cover up or make up for something.
