If I am remembering correctly...They were scammed by a guy named sonofsam. You should be careful because this predator (sonofsam) still posts here on GFY.

karlm · 03-30-2006, 06:36 AM

iBill died in Sept/04 when payments to webmasters ceased. They claimed FirstData kept the money. FirstData claimed they paid iBill. Small businesses everywhere just claimed bankrupcy.

That's the cliff notes.

Truth is that Iball's died more than 4 years ago. The service got progressively worse CMI was always slow or down, customer service was the worst of all on line processors and they charged the highest % for each transaction. They defaulted on their notes to webmasters yesterday for millions of $$ and now it looks like they have opened / purchased or are using Etelegate alias to steal yet more money from stupid people..
See e-mail i just received below....
