This happened to me once. I think it was because the email addy connected to my CC was not the same as the one connected to FR. Centurylink had sold out to Brightspeed and email addy was lost. So I just got a gmail one and forgot to notify FR.

The money should go to senate races in Michigan and Ga. We either keep or lose the house.

After FR’s site shut my card down, I tried unsuccessfully twice more to to reinstate monthly donation as before with no luck. I do not think that the merchant services processor FR uses is very good.

How does winning the senate keep the House?

Think of a field goal at the end of the game. No room for hope-ok? The kicker either makes it or he doesn’t. We’ll have no effect on the outcome.

Very sorry about that. Looks like we had another one of those Fraudulent card testers in this morning. To get hundreds of fraudulent transactions through but our merchant account provider caught all of them. I think it must have set off all the alarms and whistles because we went several hours where none of our transactions can get through. We got several through my paypal and there was at least one credit card transaction They came through a little while ago so maybe they’re going to start releasing us.

I’m going to ask Chris to go in and look at yours particularly to see if there’s anything we can do.

Thank you very much and I’m very sorry about that. Our new merchant Account is a lot more sensitive than our old one was It was the only one we could get.

Okay Chris checked it out for me. sometimes they block a transaction and leave it in a pending file sometimes we can later process that pending file. no such luck this time. There’s nothing in a pending file so that they just blocked all of our transactions this morning.

But one came through a couple hours ago And Chris just ran a test transaction just now and it came through fine. She looks like they’ve taken the lock off her account.

Thank you very much for hanging in there with us.

Sorry about all the typos. This voice access software sometimes just gets it wrong. As much too difficult to edit it without making even more Typos.

sorry about that. our old merchant account provider dumped us because of excessive card testers and excessive fraudulent transactions. and apparently we have a bad reputation now within the industry because it was very difficult to find another merchant account provider that would take us. The one we have now is pretty difficult to work with. Their software is very sensitive And very hard to adjust to. they’re very quick to lock up IP addresses. but we’re going to have to make do.

Thank you very much for hanging in there with us.
