Although my father was not directly affected by the 9/11 attacks, he was a good man who believed in helping the cause of fighting terrorism and aiding the victims of 9/11.  Michael Yeninas Luchen stole over $200,000 from my father's savings and not a single penny has been returned.

He may as well be in support of these terrorists because he furthered their cause.

OKMERCHANT OKMERCHANT.COM MICHAEL YENINAS LUCHEN FRAUD LAWSUIT

#3Consumer Comment

Sat, May 05, 2018

 In response to the "management"...I would love nothing more than to see Michael Yeninas Luchen show up in a court of law. I have absolutely nothing to hide unlike Michael Yeninas Luchen, who is afraid to even identify himself. Speaking of court mandated debts, Michael Yeninas Luchen still has a criminal judgment of over two million dollars for the senior citizens he defrauded in the WTC 9/11 scam he perpetrated. So it is a laugh that a predator who owes courts 2 million is threatening to sue law abiding citizens. Please Michael Yeninas Luchen of OKMerchant okmerchant.com First Data scammer. Go to court I think the public would enjoy seeing you in a court.

Slander and the law JS

#4REBUTTAL Owner of company

Sat, May 05, 2018

 Written defamation is called "libel," while spoken defamation is called "slander." Defamation is not a crime, but it is a "tort" (a civil wrong, rather than a criminal wrong). A person who has been defamed can sue the person who did the defaming for damages. The slandering became in effect when you said he had your account and he took $5000 from you for a POS, also when you said he kept deducting money. If you were a real client you would know we do not deposit or deduct any money. We place merchants with the largest Processor in the world. Do some research Wells is the only one who does that. Your IP address is masked since we have it and paying the best private detective to locate you not in Kansas but in NY. Civil penalties should be big considering the money going into this drama. Our manager has many clients and ask any of them, he takes care of them better than they ever have been and that why no one ever cancels ever. Food for thought - is what you are doing worth hurting your families business to get back at him for personal reasons? Take that into account. If this persists you will leave me no choice but to take this all the way. Hope you have at least some good sense. This will be worse for you legally than me. Keep in mind, you are dragging my companies name so beware as you keep slandering me. Management

YES, 20 YEARS AGO YENINAS LUCHEN TARGETED WTC VICTIMS

#5Consumer Comment

Fri, May 04, 2018

 And never stopped. But appreciate the "management" response admitting that Michael Yeninas is Michael Luchen, even if it is in the vague "we saw something from 20 years ago" admission. It beats Michael's bs responses trying to lie about his identity. He never stopped scamming and has moved from company to company to avoid detection. The fact that he tries to hide his identity shows his criminal mind is still exactly as it was 20 years ago. Also, great of OKMerchant okmerchant.com to hire ex-convict felon scam artists, surely this inspires great confidence from your clients.

BEWARE: Everything about this review is false and intentionally slanderous.

BEWARE: Everything about this review is false and intentionally slanderous.

I understand and respect the necessity of a review site to hard line the ability to change reviews. If we made a mistake and wronged a customer, I would accept the punishment because we would deserve it. This is not the case here at all and this review is fabricated.

Since this review was posted, I messaged the reviewer in good faith several times to ask a few simple questions to resolve their concerns and received no response:

What is the name of your business? And Your Real Name?

We are not sure of the reason and exactly who is behind this review but it is clear that the account was opened to simply leave this this review. So perhaps a competitor or an ex-employee looking to cause us harm although we have been told who actually wrote it as we have thier masked IP address.

If you are a customer please email us and we will take care of any issues, but since no one has called us with any problems we know this is someone trying to hurt us.

We are A+ Rated and have 0 complaints Online. BBB, YELP and Google Reviews all Good. Michael is a wonderful manager and takes great care of this company and client list as all the clients of this company have nothing bad to say about him.

We did see something from close to 20 years ago, but with all the good online about him well you know the rest of that answer.

This is a difficult position to be in as you can imagine, to defend ourselves against a bad & evil person when we did nothing wrong and have the evidence to provide it.

Thank you,

Mangement

You don't even have to pay. The preview will confirm that Luchen is just an alias for Yeninas, World Trade Ground Zero Predator.

 Again mis leading and written by his wives Ex Husband John G Spiliotis. This won't hurt him because his BBB reviews are great and verified. Once your IP address get pulled in progress we will find out. Keep it up. His clients, bosses etc love him. See BBB reports people your see this is the wrong person.

OKMERCHANT IS MICHAEL YENINAS LUCHEN LATEST SCAM

#9Consumer Comment

Mon, April 30, 2018

 Beware because Michael Yeninas is at it again trying to gain your personal info via a scam involving credit card processing. He operates now as OKMERCHANT . He claims to represent First Data when they do not hire felons, especially someone who served prison time for financial fraud. His background info can be found on any site, here is an example: https://www.mylife.com/michael-yeninas/michaelyeninas Do not let him claim to be this Michael Luchen character that doesn't exist. He is Michael Yeninas and Luchen is just his name to avoid being identified by potential victims.

Comments Like This Hurt Me MY FAMILY AND CHILDREN

The internet is a free place to write anything one wants. True or not. 10 Years ago something was written about me that wasn’t true and although I do my best to take care of my clients, family and friends some will try to hurt your personal and professional growth. I take pride in the face if you ask any of my customers how well I take care of them and their businesses they come with stellar reviews. A legitimate website like the BBB only has rave and great reviews on me that’s because they are verified and true. So I hope to the reader, that is reading this or if you know me than you know I do my very best to make sure everyone is not only happy but very satisfied. I do everything I can to provide for my family in a manner in which my wife and 4 children would be proud of. Happy Holidays from my Family to Yours.

I'm am a former customer service representive of Everest Merchant Services and the job was hard I worked nine long hours each day under Micheal and Joseph they were very unprofessional they curse and yelled and made an announcement's at the wrong time .We was also  threaten about not getting client's in the program that we would be fired I always felt uncomfortable in my surrounding because I knew something was wrong about the business ,they would gave us things to say and than tell us not to say it .

I feel like the customer service representives are vitcims too because we are being told that this is a legit business and they are helping people with their credit card processing bill an they is not, I just recently found out by  this article on the company ,Micheal and Joseph target people who do not live in Newyork mainly because they don't have the fear in a angry customer finding them .I immediatley decided to leave the job because I don't want no part of this scam or situation if anyone need help in locating these men I will glady help with the police or invesgators

After also just checking, there is NO RYAN DUNN From South Dakota on File for anyone or any rep on File or in any system at all. How come not name your business if this is true and a contact number and also if true notify authority's as none of this is true.

This is untrue, as one I have no clients in SD. I also want to mention, any business there of seems to be a person who I have an idea who it is and does try to make me look bad. Please do not believe everything you read as with this site anyone can post anything they want and no one looks into the validness of any report. EMS offers a lifetime guarantee that we will beat anyone's rate by at least 10% forever. So please dont just assume this is correct because you read it here, thanks. As well for the record I do not handle pricing or anything of that nature so this report is false and a good attempt to ruin my reputation.
