Stormpay Email About Adult Transacions WTF
 

Dear StormPay Member,
Due to current merchant account regulations, StormPay can no longer transact any transactions that are intended for the "adult industry". Regretfully, we are having to ask that all adult merchants cease transactions through StormPay no later than Jan 25, 2004. However, we do have a solution...

Rather than leave our adult merchants without processing, StormPay has taken much effort to create an alternative so that we can continue the same great service. We have created a new payment processor "BeaverPay.com" which is geared specifically for our valued adult vendors. www.beaverpay.com

The BeaverPay system has the same great features (even some improvements) you are accustomed to with StormPay. Our merchant account with BeaverPay does allow adult processing and offers the absolute best online billing solution for the adult industry.

No need for the hassle of obtaining your own merchant account only to pay very high discount rates (10%+). BeaverPay continues to offer the low discount rate of only 2.9% which is unheard of in the adult industry!

BeaverPay also allows free listings of any adult website that accepts BeaverPay payments. Adult merchants can even place banner ads on the BeaverPay site! BeaverPay will strive to become the Internet portal for adult merchant processing.

No Paperwork, No approval process. Start accepting payments with BeaverPay immediately!

Thank you,

LMAO at BeaverPay :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

asdf

:eek7

Exactly!

BeaverPay!

lots of laughs...do you know what name shows up on CC bills?

lol wtf is that for real :eek2

BeaverPay, what are they thinking lol

"Honey, who the fuck is beaver pay and why are they billing my credit card?"

Say what?

Beaver pay. Hahaha. That's the stupidest decision of all time.

Looks like a viable option. They are simply keeping adult and non adult branched.

2004 is gonna be a great year. :glugglug

Hell yea, who needs probilling etc when you got fuckin beaverpay!

its truly absurd. that's what caught me most about the email. but look at the abominable design work of the stormpay site, and it's not suprising.

Beaverpay - ahahaha - can't stop laughing - :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The only way you get 2.9% on a high risk account is if someone is aggregating you through a mainstream account. That won't last long.

Beaver Pay? I'm sorry... but I've never had to pay for Beaver.

I got the same thing in my email fucking idiots!:thumbsup

BeaverPay?? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Time to pull out of stormpay, before they pull a 'paypal' and withold my funds.

:1orglaugh idiots!

Is this bullshit or real. I didn't get any word on this.

Dude, WTF... another PayPal?

i swear to god. if i hadn't gotten the letter myself i would have thought this was a joke. the more i think about it the more i wonder what the flying fuck they were thinking? do they think people want that shit showing up on their fucking bank accounts?

my god it almost makes me think it was part of a twisted settlement deal with visa where they MADE them take such a ridiculous name!

Same decision proBilling made (to pull out). I think they both might actually have been forced out and did not pull out voluntarly like they pretend.

Looks real man. Just to let you know, the owners of stormpay were in pyramid schemes mainstream before that site so they aren't really familiar with how real business works. Anyone who's dealt with those mainstream "make money at home" freaks knows what I'm talking about.

whos going to be the 1st to add beaverpay to there site?

Sounds like bullshit because:

I couldn't find anything like this on the Stormpay site
I haven't received that email
The Whois info differs

Care to show us the headers of that email?

Appears to be sent by Stormpay but it is possible to spoof those headers.

I'll send an email their way and see what they say.

It remains strange that their site doesn't mention anything about it at all.

Epassporte.. did anyone say epassprote?

If you bothered to check the site youd see this :

"Discreetly bills to your credit card as "webillcards""


:helpme

With us, you decide what to show.

haha i just signed up to beaverpay..

first thing pops in is an adultchamber banner.

makes you wonder ?

i should have read that, you are correct! my only excuse is that i was just too busy admiring the professional graphics i would expect from a payment company:

Important information concerning the announcement of BeaverPay:

Hello Webmasters,
In last evenings update concering BeaverPay.com, we failed to mention that your customers credit card statement will be descreetly billed as "WeBillCards".
We understand that this is a major concern and apologize for our failure to mention this.
