I was contacted by "Steve" Bolles, the president and founder of Merchants Barter Exchange, to be one of their merchants.  I ended up looking at the website and needed the help and figured hey, this is legit.  Big mistake.  Mr. Bolles, whose real name is Robert Stephen Bolles, according to Monroe, Lehigh, and Bucks county courts, and his wife run a scam organization where all the numbers they give go to a customer service line and you leave a message depending on your state.  The email addresses and phone calls to MBE are all given to Mrs. Marti Bolles , who goes under various aliases to keep people from realizing it is only she.  They owe me at this point tens of thousands of dollars and have sent me on various "goose chases" to use my credit with them.    I have been trying to contact them direct because I have their personal numbers and they still don't respond.  When I did get a response, it was a snarky one about two weeks later saying that I signed a paper with them that gave them the full legal right to hold my account and possibly take the credit in it.  Unfortunately for them, I happened to have that paper on me where it was signed off.

Beware of this gold tongued charlatan.  He comes across as a born again christian and is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing.
