Please do not deal with these companies. All they want is take your money. There are several [redacted]s abut them already. Here's how their scam works: 1. You will get a call from a Merchant Lending Network Sales rep. 2. They will offer you a 'home business opportunity' to become a merchant cash advance sales rep. 3. They will charge you $495 for that. 4. They will charge you $19.95 monthly to run a website they provide for you. 5. This was just a start. The real ripoff happens once you signed up with them. You will get another sales call from people like John Dominick, Jesse Michaels, Casey Adams etc. They will offer to run a phone or fax marketing campaign for you. Supposedly this is being done by Zenith Solutions or Ace Promotions. Depending on their offer they will charge you several thousand dollar for that upfront. After you paid they won't do anything. You get no proof about the campaign they promised. You won't see any of those leads etc. Please don't fall for these scam artists. 7. Sometimes they even try to get a bank draft from you rather than accepting credit card payment, because you then can't cancel the purchase once they stole the money from you. 6. Here's a red flag for you. Go to BBB.org (Better Business Bureau). Look for Merchant Lending Network or Merchant Processing Network. They are not listed. How come they are not listed if they claim to be the bigest player in the field of merchant cash advances. If they write a rebuttal, please ignore it. Do your homework first. These people are plain evil. Don't give them your hard earned money.

I have to say that at the beginning of all this, I was real happy with what I heard about this business opportunity. I did like the people I talked to and it did sound legitimate, until about 3 weeks ago when all the phone numbers I received from Merchant Lending Network were out of service! I tried to call the key person who I purchased leads from, but she will not return my calls now for about three weeks. I have invested around $5000.00 with is company and I am starting to feel that I got ripped off! If anyone out there has a solution or way I can get back my money...please let me know by responding to this complaint with your comments!

I had been scammed by several internet sites when a Michael Cooper contacted me at home over the telephone to give me the good news that his company BCA RECOVERY had a 98% rate of collecting scammed funds from the internet vendor provided they could split the refund 50% with no upfront fees . After suceeding on a few small scams they scammed me out of $8000.00 by telling me the case was settled in my favor and I would get a $16, 000.00 refund to my credit card. This was challenged by the vendor and the case was decided in favor of the vendor but this was only several months after I had sent BCA 50% or $8000.00. They promised to refund my check but this never happened and all my attempts at reaching Michael Cooper were unsuccessful. This was just 6 months ago. I never expect a refund.
