USA Card Services - Colony One - Startup Essentials ripoff, scam, cheats, liers, dishonest, cowards Dallas Texas
Please beware of USA Card Services. They are really really good at convincing you that there just isn't anything better on the net and classically they try the "take away close" with you, i.e. they tell you, you may not qualify and or you have to convince them that you are the right candidate for the job because there are so many other candidates trying to sign up or your credit may not be good enough.
they tell you that you ought to be trainable and that since they are going to invest a lot in you they need to be sure you are the right candidate. Which is a very clever sales tactic.
I had to sign a whole bunch of blank lease forms and had to fax them over to them along with a copy of a personal check and a whole lot of personal information and havent heard back from them and after reading all these reports on the ripoff.com am waiting for the ax to drop.
you are told that you will have a dedicated support team and trainers who will guide you through every step, which just isn't true. they are just a bunch of middle men selling leases for credit card equipment.
I have tried to contact them by phone, fax, email, and certified mail but so far no response in any way.

USA card services contacted me

I was contacted today by one of the program directors at USA card services and he was very patient and tried to address most of my doubts and complaints. My account is now cancelled and I will not have to go through with the lease.
I just wish their salesmen who speaks to you originally, would be more informative and less eagre to close the deal by devious methods.
As for the credit card equipment that I and every one else has a problem with, I was told today that I would have to use that for every transaction on the net and if i wanted to add an automated system to my website, it would cost me $10 more/month.
I refused to receive the credit card equipment when it arrived by fedex this morning and I now realise this business isn't what I had in mind and if I was given all the facts initially, I wouldnt have signed up.
I posted my original complaint because i couldnt get in touch with anybody in USA card services with whom i could discuss all the complaints that I have come accross on this site and now I wish every one else here, the best of luck in their home based business endeavours and am thankful to the program director of USA card services for clarifying most of my doubts and being quite helpful and understanding.
I think every one should try contacting the support team in USA card services to try and find a solution for their situation.
