From beginning of 2012, i dont see any more scam from paradigm direct. Maybe people all over the world know about them . Hope they and their families go to hell.

It's not BBB accredited at all. It is rip-off company.

People who got trick into signing a contract with Paradigm Direct please don't scared by them and keep paying them.  You can file a complain with Better Beural Business and the General Attorney office at the same time.  These two agencies will help you.  I confirm with the General Attorney office that Paradigm Direct din't not register with the office before they go to California to advertise their business which is required. So please speak up for yourself and don't let this type of scam riff you off easily like this.

Omar--No, I'm not the competition. I just feel the sales rep misrepresented the whole thing to me and I'm angry, justifiably so, as it cost me a lot of money (my own naivte also was to blame--I'm too trusting). Just have good reason to think this company is not honest. Good luck to you. Your point that I am spending too much time on this site is well taken. adios.

Caller ID says Private Name-I have received several calls from this company claiming my merchant account is up for review, yet they don't know the company name of my current account or my merchant number. The guy that keeps calling me is very rude and shouts back at me. He posses himself as a "government official" type, like the IRS threatening you or something. I told him the first time to take me off their list and not call me again. Tonight I told him I told you to stop calling me all he could do was shout at me "his montra" to keep me on the line. I told him, "if I need your services, I'll call you". I hung up! I am not going to report him to the federal trade commission after his "antics" and what I've heard from people here.

Thanks everyone for the info!

Called and said they "could only talk to owner regarding an account they had." Asked for name of company. "Paradigm". I recognized the name (they're a cc processsor) and I asked them to remove our number from their call list, because we don't have an account with them. He refused, and said he'll call back. When he does, well just hang up. We are DEFINITELY not doing business with these people.

Thanks, Paradigm???? Sounds like you're on a first-name basis with them. I don't trust the tone of your expression of gratitude.

Jane. in what way did it work out. With the lease expense factored in, are you actually saving money? what monthly volume are you talking about. πlease share.

Yes, you can. Toward the end of the 60 months, make sure you cancel your lease a few months in advance as I have read that it automatically renews if you don't.

Did you just bring you case to a laywer and sue them?
can you please e-mail me at linh_girl@yahoo.com for more detail about you case?
Please help me.
thanks

you just call or come to the district attorney office and submit your complain? Did they get you out of it?

There is a lease of 60 months for the machine in which i can't never get out of it, but how about the processing company.  Can i just cancel them and go back to my old one?

You can file complaint to BBB and your district attorney.. It's work for me.

Be very careful... you may be paying too much.

Rubbish...  They are scammers and scare mongers.  Their tactics are downright unethical, immoral and borderline illegal.  Don't accept their calls and don't make excuses for them (even if you work for them)

I found this site because I feel it is good to research a company before signing a contract. I was contacted by these people (Merchant Services, aka Paradigm Direct), so that's why I'm here. What I find very odd is that people post on  this site more than once, like it is a social site. Not just the detractors, who maybe would be motivated by anger, but the others who want to praise the service. I don't get it. This stuff is boring. Why would anybody come here more than once, unless they were mad because they felt they were cheated? People simply sign up with a merchant service and then get on with business. Smells fishy to me. No thanks.

Solid company, had no problems, went exactly as I was told it would.  Calls do get a bit annoying.

i did find their website but got intrested when fraud and ripoff filled up in the box so what i stand by what i said relax bud

calls me everyday, doesn't leave a message

I am also being ripped off by Paradigm and MBF leasing.  Just to let you know there is a class action lawsuit filed recently against MBF.  Check it out and please let me know what you think.

These people call our office every day.  They never leave a message.  Some times a man, some times a woman.  Always ask for the owner.  When I tell them he isn't here, they say they will call back later.

Thank you for all these posts you saved me from wanting to work/sell for these clowns.  And their set appointments appear by the postings here to be forced appointments.

I think you better do some research... They are scamming people in big time.

Stay away from them.. They are scamming in big time.

I was scammed several years ago buy these people. RUN ! as fast as you can in the other direction.

If you still have credit card machines, don't upgrade to there equipments. This is how they get big commission. Do not sign any agreement that contain non-concellable. You don't need to pay $100 or more a month for leasing, you don't need it.

Tommy from this number calls all the time try to sell / scam us. He's abusive on the phone, so he must have an unhappy life. Then again if I did what he does for a living, I would be unhappy too.

Anyway do what I do, call them direct and try to sell them your services or if you're an individual just call and waste their time on the phone, like they do to me. Ask to speak to Nathan Reis or Lindy Foreman. Here it is...
