Go to hell you b*****ds, calling my business number and not answering wasting my valuable time.  Then you have the balls to justify yourselves saying you are the largest non bank merchant visa  crapola. As if that's supposed to justify your actions. You people are scum and pissing off a lot of people.

It's spelled "deceptive",and it may be legal but it's freaking annoying.

???

So, tell me, if you have placed your Company numbers on the "Do Not Call List", is it still acceptable to put up with these calls?  

If you are asked to remove a number from your list, then should you not remove it from ALL your affiliates?  Really, you should not bother those people who have asked not to be called.  Their number is the same across the board, only this company has different numbers.  So it should be your responsibility to ensure that if a person OR company has contacted any one of your affiliates, then their number should be stricken from everything associated with your company, period.

Only my opinion, so not sure who agrees, but to me, this seems "the right thing to do".

Got a call yesterday and today, no one on the other end.  After reading comments here, they have gone into my autoblocker, phone wont ring, goes into auto ignore bin, so they can rot in hell there along with the other scumbags that do the same thing.

This followup comment is from a parallel thread on Admeris Inc, Admeris Payment Systems (now apparently SALT Technology Inc) and Conquest Financial Services at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-877-505-9383 - this comment is re-posted here solely for your consideration and for information purposes only: I'm not making any allegations of any kind on any of this myself. You should always exercise due diligence before forming your own opinion :-

"Curious Re. Admeris, SALT Technology Inc replies to Admeris, SALT Technology Inc? - Since my curiosity was aroused on this, I went and found and read that press release from a couple of weeks ago announcing that Admeris, Inc (AKA Admeris Payment Systems) had now become SALT Technology Inc. It certainly struck me as being glowing - almost, one might say, rapturous!

Then I went and read in full that quoted June 6, 2012, Glassdoor review of Admeris (now SALT Technology Inc) contributed by a 'Former Senior Software Engineer in Toronto, ON (Canada)' which was headed: ?Very disorganized, lacks leadership and good management.? He goes on to say there in his full review of Admeris that 'The management is haphazard at best. It is highly disorganized and unprofessional." - http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Admeris-Reviews-E474361.htm

After comparing the press release on Admeris, Inc becoming SALT Technology Inc. with the comments in this Glassdoor review on Admeris, I'm reminded of why I always take press releases with more than a grain of salt!"

The filer of this report on Conquest Financial Services and Admeris Payment Systems, from Toronto, then went on to write:

(Admeris Payment Systems is the business that has now, apparently, become SALT Technology Inc. - there is also currently an online business listing for 'Michael Shvartsman at Admeris Payment Systems Netherlands Antilles' and a January 18, 2012, online Nevada 'domestic corporation' report for Admeris Payment Systems which also names 'Michael Shvartsman' as one of its principals)" - recent posting in a thread on Conquest Financial Services, Admeris Payment Systems, Salt Technology Inc, Jeremy Murray and Michael Shvartsman at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-877-505-9383

(I altered the mis-spelled word 'Techology' in the original post copied below to the correctly spelled 'Technology')

"Query on SALT Technology Inc & Admeris - Interesting. According to its website, Salt Technology Inc.is located at 89 De Boom Street, San Francisco CA 94107. That's a low-rise building on a short side street which also has a brewery on it. So it looks as though the 'global headquarters' of the re-branded Admeris Inc., which is what Salt Technology Inc. is reported to be, will be at 89 De Boom Street, San Francisco, while the Toronto office will still remain at the previous Admeris Payment Systems and Conquest Financial Services location at 326 Adelaide Street West in downtown Toronto, Canada?

The assumption that 'Admeris, Inc.' in the Salt Technology Inc. press release announcing this re-branding refers to 'Admeris Payment Systems' would also appear to be correct since the web site link for 'Admeris, Inc.' provided in the Salt Technology Inc. press release leads directly to the Admeris Payment Systems web site." - response posting in a thread on Conquest Financial Services, Admeris Payment Systems, Salt Technology Inc, Jeremy Murray and Michael Shvartsman at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-877-505-9383

(the re-branded 'Admeris Payment Systems' or 'Admeris Inc.') is apparently at 56 The Esplanade, Suite 220, Toronto, ON M5E 1Z4, Canada. They don't appear to be at Admeris Payment System's previously-listed address at 326 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, ON M5V 1R3, Canada. although that address is still currently shown on the web as the location of Admeris Payment Systems Inc. in Toronto. The 56 The Esplanade, Suite 220, Toronto, ON M5E 1Z4, Canada address is apparently their SALT Technology Inc. Toronto location - SALT Technology Inc.'s new  'global headquarters', as noted in another post here, is in a low rise on a small side street at 89 De Boom Street, San Francisco CA 94107. So do they have both a different name AND a different address now, or are they actually now using both of the 'Admeris, Inc' and 'SALT Technology Inc.' business names and both of these Toronto addresses?" - latest p;osting in a thread on Conquest Financial Services, Admeris Payment Systems, Salt Technology Inc, Jeremy Murray and Michael Shvartsman at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-877-505-9383 "

That assumption about Jeremy Murray, Admeris Payment Systems and SALT Technology Inc appears to be correct. Jeremy Murray, who was apparently 'VP of Business Aquisition and Development'; for Admeris Payment Systems and 'Vice President Sales at Conquest Financial Services' is now listed on his online business profile as being 'VP Merchant Services at SALT Technology, Inc.' You can draw your own conclusions from that.  'Michael Shvartsman' is listed as 'Owner, Conquest Financial Services' but has been referred to previously, I seem to recollect, as 'Managing Director, Admeris Payment Systems'.

"I saw in a recent Marketwire press release that Admeris Payment Systems (which appeared to share Toronto premises and some management with alleged scammers Conquest Financial Services) has now changed its name to SALT Technology, Inc. and moved its headquarters to San Francisco, CA. However, "SALT Technology, Inc. will continue to operate certain functions out of its Toronto, Canada and London, U.K. offices." I would assume that the Jeremy Murray and Michael Shvartsman named in the comments above are still involved in this company? Why the sudden need for a name change from 'Admeris Payment Systems' to 'SALT Technology, Inc.,' I wonder." - Recent post on Admeris Payment Systems and Salt Technology Inc found at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-647-430-9434/2  -

With regard to the SelectCore Ltd prepaid 'Toronto welfare card' proposal and the alleged 'scammers' Conquest Financial Services...

After reading about SelectCore Ltd's February 2012 acquisition of the assets of Conquest Financial Services, the alleged 'scammers', I wondered why SelectCore Ltd, which has reportedly submitted a proposal for a prepaid Toronto 'welfare card' or 'Toronto City Service Benefit Card', would want to have anything to do with alleged 'scammers' Conquest Financial Services.

Now I am not making any express or implied allegations of any kind myself against Conquest Financial Services, Michael Shvartsman,  SelectCore Ltd or anybody else named in this posting; I'm just passing on the results of my own research for your information and consideration.

I read the online posting quote concerning SelectCore Ltd which claimed that "Once the welfare prepaid card is issued by the company it is expected that they will further eat away at payday company revenues by offering microcredit payday loans that can be loaded directly to the card..."

That reference to "payday loans" took my mind right back to the ScamInformer.Com allegations headed 'Fraud and Organized Crime' at http://www.scaminformer.com/scam-report/fraud-and-organized-crime-how-is-it-that-people-suspected-c17189.html which allege: "How is it that people suspected of having ties to Organized Crime are able to start up a Business that is involved with the collection of Credit Card Transactions and Money Lending. The Shvartsman Family from Toronto Ontario, Klara, Michael and Gerald, owners of the long deceased million dollar nightclub in the West Edmonton Mall known as KAOS, were accused of having ties to the Russian Mafia by the Edmonton Police Services. This action along with the police warning people to not go to this nightclub for safety reasons resulted in the Shvartsman?s closing the bar in the late 1990?s. Law Suits followed and The Shvartsman family left Edmonton, to return to Toronto and also set up roots in Boynton Beach Florida...In Florida, Klara Shvartsman started up another nightclub known as The Grand. It to was short lived, after approximately 4 months the bar was closed by the police and the city of Boynton Beach...After all the Florida businesses were set up, some active, some not, Michael Shvatsman returned to Toronto to start a Business there called Conquest Financial Services, it was claimed to have an American office at 3370 190 St unit 3815, which has recently been changed to 3825 NW 135 st. OpaLoca Florida 33054. After researching this address, it seems to be a warehouse. Conquest Financial is a business like Vision Payment Solutions and it lends money to small businesses that cannot obtain a loan from a bank. It was also in the business of leasing POS Terminals. A portion of the credit card sales was the method of payment for the small business owner to repay his loan, along with a healthy fee charged to them. This business according to the Vice President of sales Jeremy Murray (Suspicious person) had thousands of clients. Conquest Financial in Toronto is located at 326 Adelaide Rd or St w unit 400. Also located at this address are three other companies, all of which have to do with Credit Card purchases in one way or another. Company 2 is Xtreme Mobility and advertises as having an American Address which is 3370 190 th st unit 3815 Aventura Florida. The phone number advertised for the American address is 408-368-4381 which happens to be a cell number T-Mobile in Sunnyvale California postal code 94086 registered to Jimmy Law, and coincidentally, Simon Law is the owner and CEO of Xtreme Mobility. Now, Xtreme Mobility also advertises that it is partners with Admeris Payment Systems also at 326 Adelaide unit 400 in Toronto, and is Company 3. Next is company 4 known as Optimus Capital Corporation. Until within the last month they to advertise they are at 326 Adelaide St, and, 4006 ST. Catherine W. Westmount Quebec H3Z 1P2. When researched, this address seems to be a Restaurant called Cote St Luc Bbq, how weird is that. This ends the circle of companies.
JUDGE FOR YOUSELF ON THE VALIDITY OF THIS COMPANY
?CONQUEST FINANCIAL SERVICES?"
http://www.scaminformer.com/scam-report/fraud-and-organized-crime-how-is-it-that-people-suspected-c17189.html"

"Money Lending"? "Organized Crime"? "Russian Mafia"?

Those ScamInformer.Com allegations then took my mind back again to the question asked in another online posting on Conquest Financial Services: "Might not this Wikipedia information have a bearing if the Russian Mafia and Money Lending allegations included among the ScamInformer.Com 'Fraud and Organized Crime' allegations referred to ("Fraud and Organized Crime How is it that people suspected of having ties to Organized Crime" at http://www.scaminformer.com/scam-report/fraud-and-organized-crime-how-is-it-that-people-suspected-c17189.html) have any foundation in fact? I don't know. I'm just asking."

In the "Loan shark" article in Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loan_shark) which is referred to above, it states : "In its early phase, a large fraction of mob loansharking consisted of payday lending...Over time, mob loan sharks moved away from such labor intensive rackets. By the 1960s, the preferred clientele was small and medium sized businesses. Business customers had the advantage of possessing assets that could be seized in case of default, or used to engage in fraud or to launder money."

Conquest Financial Services apparently offer 'Merchant Funding', 'Merchant Cash Advances', or 'Credit Card Receivables Factoring'. It has apparently been claimed concerning Selectcore Ltd that "Once the welfare prepaid card is issued by the company it is expected that they will further eat away at payday company revenues by offering microcredit payday loans that can be loaded directly to the card..." I'm not making any express or implied allegations of any kind here, but that might be considered by some to be 'across-the-spectrum' money-lending, if true.

So I thought I'd check out SelectCore Ltd on RipOffReports.Com.

I found the 'breach of contract' allegations below about SelectCore Ltd. on Ripoffreport.com at http://www.ripoffreport.com/utility-companies/selectcore-ltd-canad/selectcore-ltd-canada-keith-m-a8147.htm (PLEASE NOTE: whether these 'breach of contract' allegations are true or not I do not know):

But I'm finding it either disconcerting or significant, I'm not sure which, that Conquest Financial Services, Michael Shvartsman and SelectCore Ltd are all mentioned in RipOffreport allegations posted on RipOffreports.Com.

Let me make this plain again: I'm not making any allegations of any kind myself here, whether express or implied, about any company or individual. These are just my own research results, thoughts and questions. You're as free to form your own opinion of all of this as I am.

Selectcore Ltd's Toronto 'Welfare Card' proposal - Is there a Conquest Financial Services (see RipOffreport.Com 'scam' allegations) connection?

Let me be clear that I am not making any allegations of any kind about any individuals or any companies named in this posting.

But I do have some questions.

According to a press release I saw on the net, SelectCore Ltd of Toronto (CVE:SCG) agreed in February of this year to acquire the assets of Conquest Financial Services, alleged 'scammers'.

Selectcore Ltd. is listed on the Toronto junior venture exchange.

It appears (if I understand the press release correctly) that Michael Shvartsman, as the reported owner of Conquest Financial Services (which is mentioned in numerous RipoffReports at RipoffReports.Com), will receive or has received a substantial shareholding in SelectCore Ltd as a result.

Michael Shvartsman was also mentioned in the ScamInformer 'Fraud and Organized Crime' allegations at http://www.scaminformer.com/scam-report/fraud-and-organized-crime-how-is-it-that-people-suspected-c17189.html  

Conquest Financial Services still appears to continue operating from the 326 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, ON M5V 1R3 address.

Admeris Payment Systems, of which Michael Shvartsman is the reported Managing Director, also apparently operates from this address.

(I don't know whether any of these allegations mentioning Conquest Financial Services, Jeremy Murray, Admeris Payment Systems and Michael Shvartsman are true or not)

SelectCore Ltd appears, as I understand it, to have submitted a proposal to the City of Toronto regarding the introduction of prepaid Toronto 'welfare' cards (or Toronto 'City Service Benefit Cards').

See http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2011/bd/bgrd/backgroundfile-42776.pdf

SelectCore Ltd's proposal reportedly, according to another online posting, features Mastercard-based pre-paid Toronto 'welfare' cards (or Toronto 'City Service Benefit Cards').

Apparently, hundreds of millions of dollars would be loaded onto and processed through these cards.

The same online posting claims that "Once the welfare prepaid card is issued by the company it is expected that they will further eat away at payday company revenues by offering microcredit payday loans that can be loaded directly to the card..."

"Microcredit payday loans" on a City of Toronto 'welfare' card?

I'm wondering if Conquest Financial Services, with all of the 'scam' allegations mentioning Conquest Financial Services, will be involved in this SelectCore Ltd pre-paid Toronto 'welfare'card (or Toronto 'City Service Benefit Card') proposal in any way?

Now I am NOT thinking about or alleging the potential for possible identity theft or fraud here. I'm not making any allegations of any kind at all, express or implied.

But I AM concerned about any possible link to Conquest Financial Services, given the various 'scam' allegations concerning Conquest Financial Services.

If there IS a Conquest Financial Services connection of any kind to this SelectCore Ltd pre-paid Toronto 'welfare card' (or Toronto 'City Service Benefit Card') proposal, then the Toronto media might well end up having a field day given all of the 'scam' allegations that have been made about Conquest Financial Services on Ripoffreports.Com and elsewhere.

That might then certainly cause some serious embarrassment to the City of Toronto's administration if they weren't previously aware of these 'scam' allegations about Conquest Financial Services.

Personally, I couldn't usually care less about who gets what contract. I have no investments in the stock markets and don't intend to have any.

But I am concerned about any possible Conquest Financial Services connection to this Toronto 'welfare' cards (or Toronto 'City Service Benefit Cards') proposal.

Again, I'm not making any allegations of any kind myself about Conquest Financial Services, Michael Shvartsman, Admeris Payment Systems, Jeremy Murray or SelectCore Ltd here. I'm just asking questions.

Are you as horrified and concerned by all of the various 'scam' allegations about Conquest Financial Services as I am?

Do the RipOffReport 'ripped off and scammed' allegations below about Conquest Financial Services confirm the allegations made by an 'ex-employee' of Conquest Financial Services?

Conquest Financial Services BEWARE!!!Ripped off and scammed by a company who I thought would help..SHAME on you Jeremy Murray, Internet
*General Comment: Confirming that Conquest is a big rip off!

I was looking for funding and I found an advertisement in a little magazine publication. It seemed okay. It had a huge ad that drew me in saying all the right things, "No financial statements, tax returns, business plans, perfect credit or application fees". It was one of those companies that works with businesses who accepted (POS)credit cards and debit cards. I called just to get some information, next thing I knew I was filling out an application. For me to get funding it depended on my monthly interac sales, which was fine. I was approved right away but for me to get the funding I had to switch interac companies. Plus, I had to lease their (POS)machine. They took an annual members fee and a setup fee out of my account, something they did not mention and another fee by the leasing company. AND I STILL DID NOT GET ANY FUNDING! After all that they informed me that I needed a co-signer. So, got one and still no funding till months and months later. Finally, I got tired of waiting and calling with no avail, I tried to cancel. No such luck! Apparently, there is a cancellation fee which I can't afford so I let them take their monthly service charge out of my account every month. AND I'm locked into a non-cancelable lease agreement with an interac terminal I don't even use, and that monthly payment also is credited out of my account. They informed me that I can transfer to another person or business who wants it but chances on that happening is slim. Really should have went with my instincts on this one but was desperate for some extra funding. BBB gave them a low rating. I don't know what to do. Someone PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE!"

These allegations about Conquest Financial Services are beginning to make me think that getting a 'merchant cash advance', 'merchant funding' or engaging in 'credit card receivables factoring' with ANYcompany operating in this field might be a REALLY bad idea! But that's just my opinion on all of this.

Did you get called by Conquest Financial Services, alleged 'Scammers'?

I was stunned by the 'ex-employee' allegations below about how Conquest Financial Services, alleged 'scammers', allegedly make misleading 'cold call' claims to potential customers and allegedly charge REALLY HIGH FEES for their 'Merchant Cash Advances / Merchant Funding' services and also allegedly charge 'ridiculous cancellation fees'!

Conquest Financial Scam Misleading claims, horrible customer service & cancellation fee Toronto Ontario

I was not a client but am actually an ex-employee who left Conquest Financial within the past few months (because I realized exactly how bad I was scamming clients), I reveal everything they are trying to hide from you. There offer 2 things POS merchant services and Merchant funding

POS Merchant services

There is a good chance that if you are reading this, you have been cold-called by an employee working for Conquest financial.

First a little about their customer service

Many of their competitors offer on-site same-day support (in person) in the event of a problem with your processing terminal. Those that don't at least offer on-site support, although they obviously still wouldn't be able help you the same day. Conquest financial offers neither. You have to call Conquest Financial by phone, and if you're lucky you may get an employee competent enough to tell you how to fix whatever problems you are having with your terminal. If you are tech-savvy you should be fine. If not, find someone who is.

Secondly, the ridiculous cancellation fees.
Whoever you are talking to will probably avoid answering this question at all costs, and if they are forced to may lie. Conquest financial is not the second largest processor in north America like the employees they sometimes say they are. Conquest financial is one of the many processors that use processors from Elavon for processing transactions. Elavon is the second largest processor in North America, not conquest financial. Take a deep breath now. The cancellation fee for Conquest is $500, and since conquest is affiliated with Elavon you have to pay Elavon's cancellation as well, another $200. So you end up paying $700 if/when you choose to back out of the deal because of the horrible customer service. For most clients, this cancellation fee is too high and they simply stay with Conqeust until their contract is up.

Thirdly the rate reduction
This just takes some common sense. You were most likely promised 30 - 50% of a rate reduction. Do you honestly think that if you're paying $1000 a month right now, that it would be lowered to $500-700? Conquest has only lowered their rates this much for a select few businesses before who were receive absolutely preposterous rates. If Conquest did do this for clients, they'd probably have 1000 times more clients than they currently have. Although Conquest Financial might lower your rates a bit, remember that you will most likely still have to pay cancellation fees with your current processor (it is very rare the Conquest financial will cover it for you). Also you have to go through the hassle shipping back your current terminal, along with getting Conquests' and setting it up obviously.

I thought I would put this up because Conquest financial is so small with so few customers that they have barely received any feedback online. My suggestion: If you really think your the rates your current processor is giving you is too high, contact one of the larger processors such as (((Redacted)))

Merchant Funding/Advance

First, is the ridiculous amount that you pay back. Let me go over exactly how you pay Conquest

Conquest Financial gets their money back by taking a portion of your Credit and Debit card sales (usually somewhere around 20-25%) over a fixed time period. This time period in most cases is either 4 months, 6 months or 9 months. Although there is no interest the longer this time period the more you will end up paying back.

For a 4 month payback period, you will pay back 1.3 times the original amount.

For a 6 month payback period you will pay back 1.4 times the original amount.

For a 9 month payback period you will pay back 1.56 times the original amount.

If you went to get a loan from the bank they might charge you somewhere around 10% annual interest which would be equivalent to roughly 1.1 times the original amount (if it was done as a cash advance -- not for 4, 6 or 9 months but for a full year). As you can see the amount you would pay back to Conquest Financial would be ridiculous. This is where they are going to try and convince you that it would take far less time with them to get this advance/loan than from a bank. They're also going to tell you they don't need any personal information from you when in reality they usually take a years worth a processing statements along with copies of your drivers license and social security card.

On top of this they require a co-signor (so they can take another person down in the event that you default). After about 2 weeks of paper work that you must do, there is still no guarantee that you will be approved. I have dealt with plenty of clients who were so pissed that they went through all this paperwork for a bad financing deal only to find out they weren't approved.

Also, your credit and debit card sales will no longer be going to your merchant account. It will be going to an escrow account which is basically a middle-man account, and often called a "lock-box" (although Conqeust obviously avoids this terminology). Obviously going through a middle-man poses some security risks. The reason they do this is to ensure they get their money. If at the end of each batch, there is no money in your account (such as from paying your employees), there is no money there for conquest financial to take. In the end, they are risking the security of your sales to ensure they get their money when they want it.

I strongly suggest seeing what the banks have to offer you. You will save tons of money doing so and a lot of hassle.

Fraud and Organized Crime

How is it that people suspected of having ties to Organized Crime are able to start up a Business that is involved with the collection of Credit Card Transactions and Money Lending. The Shvartsman Family from Toronto Ontario, Klara, Michael and Gerald, owners of the long deceased million dollar nightclub in the West Edmonton Mall known as KAOS, were accused of having ties to the Russian Mafia by the Edmonton Police Services. This action along with the police warning people to not go to this nightclub for safety reasons resulted in the Shvartsman?s closing the bar in the late 1990?s. Law Suits followed and The Shvartsman family left Edmonton, to return to Toronto and also set up roots in Boynton Beach Florida. In Florida, Klara Shvartsman started up another nightclub known as The Grand. It to was short lived, after approximately 4 months the bar was closed by the police and the city of Boynton Beach...After all the Florida businesses were set up, some active, some not, Michael Shvatsman returned to Toronto to start a Business there called Conquest Financial Services, it was claimed to have an American office at 3370 190 St unit 3815, which has recently been changed to 3825 NW 135 st. OpaLoca Florida 33054. After researching this address, it seems to be a warehouse. Conquest Financial is a business like Vision Payment Solutions and it lends money to small businesses that cannot obtain a loan from a bank. It was also in the business of leasing POS Terminals. A portion of the credit card sales was the method of payment for the small business owner to repay his loan, along with a healthy fee charged to them. This business according to the Vice President of sales Jeremy Murray (Suspicious person) had thousands of clients. Conquest Financial in Toronto is located at 326 Adelaide Rd or St w unit 400. Also located at this address are three other companies, all of which have to do with Credit Card purchases in one way or another. Company 2 is Xtreme Mobility and advertises as having an American Address which is 3370 190 th st unit 3815 Aventura Florida. The phone number advertised for the American address is 408-368-4381 which happens to be a cell number T-Mobile in Sunnyvale California postal code 94086 registered to Jimmy Law, and coincidentally, Simon Law is the owner and CEO of Xtreme Mobility. Now, Xtreme Mobility also advertises that it is partners with Admeris Payment Systems also at 326 Adelaide unit 400 in Toronto, and is Company 3. Next is company 4 known as Optimus Capital Corporation. Until within the last month they to advertise they are at 326 Adelaide St, and, 4006 ST. Catherine W. Westmount Quebec H3Z 1P2. When researched, this address seems to be a Restaurant called Cote St Luc Bbq, how weird is that. This ends the circle of companies.

Now, again, I'd like to make it very clear that I am not making any 'scam', 'fraud' or 'ripoff' allegations here myself about Conquest Financial Services, whether express or implied.

But I am concerned by the number of 'scam', 'fraud' or 'ripoff' allegations about Conquest Financial Services, Toronto, which can be found on the internet and I believe that everyone should be able to independently research these 'scam', 'fraud' or 'ripoff' allegations about Conquest Financial Services and thus form their own opinion of whether these 'scam', 'fraud' or 'ripoff' allegations about Conquest Financial Services, Canada, are possibly true or not. I've certainly formed my own opinon.

Conquest Financial Services, (see RipoffReports 'scam' allegations) was apparently founded by a Michael Shvartsman (also mentioned in a RipOffreports.Com 'scam' allegation) in Florida and then in Toronto, Canada.

See the allegations about Michael Shvartsman (which also mention Conquest Financial Services and Jeremy Murray, another alleged 'scammer') at ScamInformer.Com:

With regards to how they treat you as an employee, they will save you should be making at least $500 a week, however most only make $200-$300 a week - and these are the openers that are good enough to stay. Some would actually be making $0 a week if they stayed. They also treat your paycheck like a loss of profit for them and it's a hassle to get paid. Never work at conquest financial."

And there is a long thread of comments about Conquest Financial and 'scam' allegations concerning Conquest Financial Services at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-647-430-9434

A french speaking quebecois called my company and asked me if we accept VISA or MasterCard.
I asked him from where he was calling and what company he was working for.
He replied, "Listen, we are really busy, we don't have time for that» and hung up!
WTF!!!

I am trying to get out of this NLS leasing too which Conquest Financial Servces is a partner to. They are big time scammers. They keep adding up charges, so rude when they are asked. No one is there to provide proper support and cancellation fee is so high. The salesman who signed me up disappeared after he installed the unit. Their office puts me on hold for a long time then hung up. They are leeches and something should be done to put htse people in jail before thay victimize other who are working hard to make a living.

Utter garbage, and shame on you for writing this drivel & for representing this company.  Nothing but cowards on your end of the line!!!!!

What do you think they are going to do with your financial statements...I have never had an issue.  They are governed by laws in this country like all other merchant providers. I don't think they bankrupt you.

Calls, sent to voicemail, leaves a blank voicemail

called my toll free number clicked over to a person then hung up, so I phone the number and an answering machine answers first in french then english what sounds like "Evil Canada" then says put in the extension number you want. If you listen to the whole message it takes you through a series of options as though they are a merchant account for a business and puts you on hold.  Now I am in MST they are in EST and they called me at 07:30 am - I was not impressed.  No one ever came on the phone.

I agree with much of what you are saying, it does me no favours when prospective customers have been harrased by the telemarketing side of my business.  However, have you ever walked into an office in an attempt to give some information to the owner of the business just to have the "gate keeper" tell you they are not interested.  I value the exchange of ideas, in this day and age we just don't like to give people a chance to explain the benefits that are on offer.  We live in a very busy and competitive world, and I understand that people don't want to have their time wasted by constant phone calls....there is more to life.

Called and then clicked to a teller?  Then hung up

There's a scam going around where a company provides credit card authorization terminals with, uhm, "extra" software in them.  I don't know if EVO is doing this, but it might be a good idea to research them very carefully before giving them any information.   I've read accounts elsewhere that this may not be a legitimate operation.

These bastards called me to do a survey.

I called their corporate office number 877-355-2082 (thx to Ven). I waited out the long list of press this and that until I was auto transferred to an attendant. I asked to speak with someone in their telemarketing department. She asked... Concerning what?

I said... Your company was phoning me once a day and when I answered, no one was there. Now you have been phoning me twice a day for two weeks and there is still no one there when I answer. I want it to stop.

She took down my company name and phone number. Said she will remove my number from the list. She also apologized.
