UNIVERSAL MERCHANT SERVICES MERCHANT FRAUDS IRVINE California

We too were just recently scammed by this company. The girl that came into our office explained to us that by signing with them we would receive free equipment and also save money on the rates. She was very friendly and I trusted what she said. Most people that want your business and continued business in the future are honest. I have never in my life met such scam artists.

We were fraudulently lured into signing a $300/month lease for 48/mo. The girl that signed us (Alicyn) explained that the equiment would be free due to the fact that they owned the leasing company. How was I to know that this is not true? She was very knowledgeable (said she graduated from Harvard, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MY TIP-OFF RIGHT THERE) and said not to worry about filling in the rest of the paperwork that she would take care of it if I just signed. Stupid, I realize now, but this is flat out fraudulent behavior on their part.

Why are they still in business? This can't be ok. I realize I didn't read the fine print but I am not an attorney and who ever reads all 50 pages of legal documents? I believed when she said that they owned the leasing company so therefore the equipment would be free of charge. She also explained that there would be no fee if we cancelled but that the equipment would have to go back to them since they were providing it to us. Of course, since then I have found that not to be true. The leasing company is A-1 leasing and I am sure they are in on the scam too.
