Has anyone delt with these guys???

I just tried.....

Im setting up a new software site with transactions running through our own merchant account...

I decided to use these guys to do a little extra fraud scrub...

I go in and order a monthly subscription for $20 a month for testing and so I can code the new system with it already in it...

after 3-4 emails I finially get this....

===========================================
For our CCFD orders, we do require a e-mail associated with an
established e-commerce site to verify the system is being used
for the intended purpose.

Once your e-commerce site is launched, we would be happy to
try to process the order again.
===========================================

What a fucking joke... After I program the whole the system I have to then RECODE my system for them...

I think not ...lmao

This is all over a $20/month Paypal payment...

Their system uses a web inteface that requires a "ID" to access it, so its easy to turn off....in the case of misuse....

Talk about bad biz.....
