| UNITED STATES MERCHANT SERVICES 1ST AMERICAN LEASING CREDIT CARD EQUIPTMENT LEASING SCAM HACKENSACK, Internet |
| 16th of Mar, 2011 by User714372 |
I signed up with United States Merchant Services via Joseph Wilk
December 17 2010 for 1 credit card machine leased from 1st American Leasing. Do not believe anything this guy says. He is the ultimate salesman and scam artist.
The short story is I am stuck paying $5000 over 48 months for a processing machine worth about $600. And they don't warranty it. I was promised a lot and trusted him and got screwed.
1st American Leasing must be in cahoots. Shortly after I signed they sent a form letter stating please remember that any verbal promises of the vendor or its agents are not part of this agreement, also the last line states 1st american Leasing will assume that your silence in response to this letter is your acknowledgment and acceptance of this agreement. It should have said this on the document / lease agreement that I signed not after the fact.
Who reads form letters? I do now.
It seems that 1st American Leasing sends Joseph Wilk a check for $3000 for everyone he signs up. They will do nothing for me. The both should be jailed for using American in there names. |

| Same exact thing happened to me unfortunately. |
|
|
|
| we got the same problems, complete scam report to attorney general of new jersey |
|
|
|
| I had the same problem . I am trying to fight back though. I was told after speaking to an attorney and other people in the industry that these guys have a track record of ripping people off. Unfdortunately not enough people actually try to fight back. I plan on doing so, so if anyone has information regarding their story please share it with me as it will only help support there record of deceipt or at least file with the attorney general so it is on record. |

|
| I have an ATM machine through Rhino Systems here in Pittsburgh. Their rep took it out when I filed a law suit against him, but he didn't transfer it. So now 1st American Leasing still wants their money from me, but I don't have the machine anymore. |
|
|
|
| I am also a victim and I am fighting back Post again with your contact info and I wil share my story with you |
|
|
|
| My business was also scammed, and I know of three other businesses that were too. My situation is slightly different... After I informed Mr. Wilk I did not want to do business with him, he came by on a slow afternoon while I was away on business, gave a slick speech to an employee and took it upon himself to install the credit card machine.. Myself and the other businesses are activally pursuing this legally. This scam goes deep... as there is no doubt that 1st American leasing/and other companies are profiting from this fraud. post your contact info and i will share more with you and anyone else who wants to fight back. please take the time to report it to attorney general. |

Mr. Wilk is a great scammer, he is so pleasant when he makes promises that he never delivers, makes claims that he will save you money on your rates and fees when his rates are the same or higher. Please read the fine print on the equipment you are leasing from him he would be robbing you blind. By the time you figure that out. Here is what you will find; he is leasing you credit card equipment that cost new $300 for approximately $4, 800 over the contract life. And if you sign up for his check merchant service you will pay approximately $5, 500 for a machine that costs $350 new. He promised that if you do not like his equipment or service he would take them back and the lease would be terminated as soon as you call him. The problem is that he never returns calls or come in to resolve any problems, he will stop taking your calls and you will be stock with bad service and approximately $10, 000 lease. Lookup his Better Business Bureau grades that I neglected to search before using his service. By the way he goes under several company names:
1. United States merchant services.
2. USA services worldwide
3. USA Worldwide services
4. USA Svc Worldwide and maybe more that I did not find yet.
Please file complaints with the better business against both companies.

| Hi everyone. Latest news about the con man Joseph Wilk. He started his own leasing company. Google this title "United States Merchant Services Joseph Wilk Merges Equipment Leasing USA Joe Wilk". Also he has a youtube account "Joseph Wilk United States Merchant Services Equipment Leasing" can you believe that he is still using 1st American Leasing. 1st American Leasing continues to use Mr. Wilk knowing that he is con man. |
|
|
|
| Attorney General has not gotten back yet, but for some reason now the processing company keeps calling to try and resolve our complaint, so I am assuming that they are moving forward! I made sure I put them all in the file I sent to the Attorney General's office. I also made mention of all this at a local business meeting, so that others that were taken avantage of amy follow suit. |
|
|
|
| Also sent a copy to the FBI White collar crimes unit, NY Attorney general and Bergen County Prosecuters office. He is worth the effort for all agency's to know. |

I was inform to return the equipment to Tasq Technology incorporated
When my actual lease was up in October 2011 I was informed you did not have the equipment 5 credit card machine in total. So I had to buy 5 machines and send them to you again this time I did by Fed-X. I paid northern Leasing over $12000.00 in lease payments.
