Brian West is approaching Kratom vendors stating he can provide merchant services to those needing an account, however claims the accounts are not offshore plus advertises the following:
***No Reserve***
***No Application Fee***
***No CAP on Volume***
***Next Day Funding***
100% API Integration
***Direct MID Account / Own Descriptor***
Quick approval, usually 1-2 business days
Brian then signs you up on a payment network that does not allow Kratom which will then subsequently terminate your account immediately, but only after Brian has collected a $500 setup fee, which he requests that you make into a Wells Fargo bank account belonging to a Jack and Joyce West. He will emphasize urgency and claim to have many references, none of which will check out.
You'll be out $500, without a merchant account, and then will also have to answer that you have been terminated in the past on any new Merchant Services Application.
We filled out a lengthy merchant application only to be terminated. Once we looked around the web, it's apparent this has happened to others, as well.
