Complaint Review: Authorize.net

This company is a scam scam scam.... I signed up for Authorize.net to use for my companies gateway and processor for our ecommerce store. This company charged me $165.25 while I was still in the application process. Like others, authorize.net starts to charge you before you even start service, then when you cancel they send you to collections.I spoke to several representatives and no one was able to help me. The minute that these scammers get a hold of your credit card they begin charging..even before they provide a service, now my company is stuck with a bill and collections notice without even getting through the application process. I was still sending in paperwork for approval. I cancelled this service immediatley and decided to jump on the bandwagon with other consumers that have been victimized by authorize.net and parallel solutions. Stay farrrrrrrrrrr away form these companies!
