Hello from Florida

[TMSFlorida]

Hey folks,

I'm Jason and I own TMS Florida with my wife Kathy.
We provide a unique social marketing tool and also merchant account services
for small and medium sized companies.

I ran across this forum while looking for "nightmare stories" (bad experiences)
that people have had with merchant service providers. I started with the idea
of compiling some true life stories showing what can happen to businesses, and
how owners can prevent falling into those traps.

I thought it would take some digging. Boy was I wrong! I found hundreds of
stories in just a few quick searches. It's just proof that I need to keep getting our
name out there as wide and fast as possible. There are many good merchant
account providers out there, but there are also some snakes in this unregulated
industry.

Kathy and I have been in this business since 1998, and are proud of the company
we have built.

If anyone has any questions regarding their payment services, feel free to ask me
in this open forum or by email.

I'm looking forward to learning alot, and I'll contribute what I can, when I can.

Thanks!

JasonG
