2144400277

unwanted solicitation calls.

Received a call from 'Apex Merchant' (214) 440-0277 on 9/6/11 @ 10:18 a.m. (Eastern).
Gentleman (and I use this term loosely) asked if I accepted credit or debit cards.

As I was not expecting this call, I asked him what this call was in reference to?

He simply repeated the question 'Do you accept credit or debit cards'?

When I asked what this call was in reference to, he simply hung up on me.

I consider this very rude and incredibly unprofessional, particularly if this is an even slightly legitimate sales call. Apparently this is not a good company to do business with if this is one's first impression of them.

I would highly recommend not answering any calls from them.

Ps-one more thing about this company (Apex Merchant); they have a toll free number you can call, should you want to request being removed from their sales calls.

The number is: (888) 330-2739

When you call, make sure you choose option #1 for sales, as the receptionist's line never answers. And, be patient. You will more than likely be put on hold when you get a person in sales. Hang on. When they return just ask if they have a 'do not call' list. Then ask to be added to it.

Once you have done this, and they should be stupid enough to call you again, make sure you document the date & time & telephone number. You then have the ammo you need to lodge a formal complaint with the govt's do not call registry!

Good luck and I hope this company gets what it deserves.

Got a call earlier... having seen it before I answered it.... asked if they could deliver some info  to me  tomorrow( I m hoping I said I was going to be in) but unavaiable... dont want them showing up to my place when im not around.... Also hoping I didnt say Yes anywhere in the convo... how do you make them stop harrassing you?

I get calls these calls also and appreciate the input from so many other people receiving the same calls and their means for handling the telemarketers. It's unfortunate that we have to waste time on such things.

This guy called did not like being told never contact me again

Then cussed and swore At me.  Highly unprofessional

I absolutely love the idea of putting them on mute!  Since whenever this number calls my house they don't actually want to speak to anyone, they hang up when we answer.  They are simply placing harassing phone calls.

THEY BREACHED MY CONTRACT WITH THEM. Well I was one of the stupid businesses that started doing business with APEX a year ago.  I have to say I was satisfied with their services up until about 1 week ago, when they held my money that I had coming to my company because they stated that they needed additional banking information from me (other than the banking information provided to them 1 year ago).  No one could give me an answer as to why after 1 year they needed additional  information from me.  I also asked why were they holding my funds when they already received their fees. They told me that my bank was the one that refused the fees, my bank said NO WAY they would ever refuse an ACH payment of any kind. I wrote the CEO and explained that not only would I not give them additional banking information, they breached my contract with them, I would retain a lawyer to sue and they better release any and all funds I had coming to me immediately.  I lost so much business not being able to process credit cards in my boutique.  I was advised to keep a log of all the customers who walked out my door because they could not pay by credit or debit card.  Oh and get this!!!  I was told I would owe them $500.00 because of the breach of contract.  I told them I was not the one who breached the contract, they are.  I cannot believe a company would act in such a way.  They are horrible and I would NEVER recommend anyone to them.

I threatened to sick my lawyers on them for harassment and then they called me 5 times in a row. They must have bought my info because they had the abbreviated and wrong version of my name that many telemarketers seem to use. Seems not worth the time to file a complaint with BBB. I tried calling them back and it just rings with no answer.

I did not have a chance to answer, but sure it is a spam call, because my number is unlisted.

call but noone on other end after saying hello a few times i hung up. plan to follow up with many of the options listed here and see what works

Repeated calls to a pre-pay cell phone. I finally cursed them out and told them never to call me again.

Yes I called them back and it did ring and over and over again.  Thanks to all the comments on this because now I know that if by chance I answer the phone I will for sure just start out the call Hello, Leave me alone and I am going to report you to the BBB, my lawyer and to the government. I am only hoping that will help them understand along with the comments that everyone else has told them but hey maybe one more will help........ can only try :)

Got a call from this number today....guy talked so fast....had to hang up.....

anoying spam caller

Out of curiosity I called them back. The number is no longer in use. I'm sure they read the comments on.this site  Good work guys!

Likewise.  Happened today, 11-8-2011.  One of dozens of callers who get through my anonymous call block and blatantly ignore my DNC registration.  That tells me there is clearly no longer any enforcement of it.

I'm a sales rep for my company, yet they called my cell phone asking for the owner of the company.

I just hung up...

I called this company today and told them to remove me from their call list. I also e-mailed the company at these two addresses: cs@apexmg.net; sales@apexmg.net. The first one is Customer Service, and the second is Sales. I've been receiving calls from them for several months (I never answer), but decided to call them back today. please take note of the fact that the number that shows up on your caller ID won't be answered if you call it. I called their Sales Department at 877-671-6995, and my call was answered. Don't use their 214 area code number; let them pay for the call. When I told the person who answered the phone (he refused to give his name) to remove me from their call list, he got beligerent and rude. Pity he didn't get smarter.

Apex had been calling my business every few weeks for the past year. After my repeated attempts to be removed from their list were ignored by those [***] I filed a complaint with the BBB.  Now one less telemarketer calls me every day!
