I clicked on an email about an apple pay terminal that said no annual fees and so much per swipe. I started filling out the form, then thought to myself, how do I know this is legitimate. Then I received this card reader in the mail, (in which I don't have a store, I was planning on starting an online store. now I'm being charged 72.00 per month that started out small and gets higher each month. They claim that I signed some document and I said I didn't and that they kept sending emails asking me to complete the application and leaving messages on my phone. Now they are telling me that I signed this document and that there is a minimum fee per month. I told them to cancel it then because I can't afford to have something that I have no use for to begin with. The way the email described it, it was similar to square. When I asked to cancel, they told me that it was a $399.00 cancellation fee. I told them I could not afford that and that I was disabled and reason I thought perhaps I could sell handmade cards and crafts online. I started looking through my computer, and there is a copy of this form before I finished the application. How is this possible? I looked under digital signatures, in which I do have one now after July 22 to sign real estate papers. Prior to that, I had no need to digitally sign anything. This company claimed to have sent emails with a link on where I could review my account. After all of this, I'm a little afraid to do that. How can I tell the authenticity of the document the guy emailed me saying that I signed this contract. I told him I would be crazy to sign a contract of that nature not having a store, DBA, nor tax and sales use permit. I'm also going through a divorce. I'm disabled, and don't spend a lot of time on the desktop, so I forget to turn it off a lot. The forms I started filling out looked nothing like the contract he sent. I always print the web pages that I make purchases on as well as other pages to read in the recliner because my feet swell if I sit at the computer very long. He also emailed and affidavit for me to fill out and told me to also file a police report. I could barely walk for 3`4 days and had a dr appointment, divorce papers to prepare, and still need to contact the tax office. Now I can't sleep, because this is bothering me and I have zero funds in my account and bills left to pay. Is it possible for them to have collected my bank information from my computer? I had to change the code on my modem as well because it would flash when nobody was using it. I don't know why they would state on the forms that your application would be pending approval, yet approve this contract with someone that did not have a company. And by the amount the fees are, I wouldn't make a dime. I told the guy that I would use paypal or square that have not hidden fees or minimums. Please help with this matter. Stress does not help my situation at all, and I am stressed out waiting for automatice payments to start hitting my bank account and the overdraft fees to start kicking in. That adds up quick and I live an a smaill income as it is.
Thanks for any assistance I can receive. This place sounds crooked to me. They go by about 3 different names.
Sincerely,
Cynthia
