I was using firstdata/linkpoint/cardservice intl if you care to know. its all part of the game and risk of running your own merchant account, not really much different than selling dope, so deal with the risk, minimize it, or get out the game and go back to 3rd party billing. realize you are likely on the visa/mc TMF/Match file and can't get another independent merchant account under your own name anymore so just go back to 3rd party billing, and use that like most other folks do to get your money
