I have a buyer that says they have been using this for 1 and half years. I've never heard of it and can't find much info on it.
Please, if anyone knows anything about whether it is legit, let me know.
thanks
www.powerepay.com
site looks ok, but looks can be deceiving and they don't answer their phones. At least not today, although it is Saturday.
OK, please help, thanks |

well, rob, ACH is something CC companies have been using fer years...basically it's similar to an e-check in that there is a payment with no paper exchange.
however...this company looks like it might be set up fer merchants. it sez opening an account is free; but i cant find their other fees anywhere...which prolly means they are high.

heres the thing tho, the guy says I don't need an account to accept payment. He sets it up with his account, then they forward the payment to me. I just never heard of the site before so I am kind of leery of using it
thanks for the reply |

is it a bank-to-bank payment? from his bank account to yours, like you would use yer bank's bill payment service? the only advantage to using ACH rather than, say, wachovia's service is that you can use multiple accounts. unless maybe he's overseas?
i still think it looks expensive to use...is there a fee fer you to use it, or just fer him?

the fee is just for him, I'm in MI and he is in NJ. The email confirmation that i got from them says that when I give them the tracking info and they confirm it, then they give me the details.
thsi is part of the email:

:confused:

OK, i went to consultant.com, which is registered to NJ Domains. i looked them up & found this on another msg board:
According to various sites, this is the work of one Robert Soloway, so reknowned a spammer there's a Wiki page about him (probably because Microsoft sued him successfully for spamming hotmail users!), here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Soloway
the direct link to that forum is Minidisc Org.
i'd look into this a bit more...it sure looks like some kinda fancy scheme to me!
:evil: |
