This company Payscape Advisors has been working in the Charleston area for some time. Although, they have been working under different names to better hide what they do. Transtech, TMG and now Payscape Advisors are all part of a company called First American Payment Systems. Please see the Better Business Bureau report on this company @ www.bbb.org and you will understand very clearly why they keep changing names. They lie to businesses telling them they will lower their credit and debit card processing fees. When you get your first statement and see that the rates and fees are actually much higher, they say, " oh, it's a mistake and we'll fix it" Well, it never gets fixed and when you call to cancel, they hit you with something called " Early Termination Fees" of Serveral Hundred Dollars !!!!! This has happened to a number of businesses in Charleston and elsewhere, don't be the next business to be caught up in this scam !!!!!

Our business also was scammed by these people. We have reported them to the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs Department. We called the City and the County of Charleston and they have no record of any business license for them. Why am I not surprised. They will probably just change their name again.
