Warning to other CCBill users

Lassiter now you got me thinking... It might have been Globill who held the checks until they were processed, but I could have sworn it was Ibill. We didn’t use either of them for very long so it's hard to remember.

I'm not at all meaning to imply you were wrong. Just that my experience was different.

this happens sometimes, as some surfers are clever enough to edit the ccbill code(for example to find a cheaper price, too), but its so rare, that its not worth to spend time on it

I don't think it was Globill. I had a paysite with them long ago and got the "Homer Simpson" joins as well. I'd say off the top of my head 40 - 60% were fraudulent.

Perhaps it'd be nice if they set up something like an ANI 800 dial-in number where someone can call in and confirm their membership and be given immediate access, all ogthers would have to wait. The number that the call was placed from could be compared to the number on the join form. At least then they'd have to have a valid number to reach them at.

I believe it was Globill. That was the one and only thing I liked about their system. I think 3 or 4 days was a bit much, but at least you knew if you saw an online check transaction that it was cleared. Thanks for the info on CCBill BTW. I saw a check transaction show up today and was wondering wtf was going on, cause it was on an account that doesn't accept checks. Makes sense now.

I know back in the late 90's that the check had to clear first with iBill. Not sure what they did more recent since they sucked and we dumped them!

That's a common enough story, eh?

There's only two companies I've ever publically burned my bridges with in the biz, and iBill is one of 'em. 'Twas a most unpleasant experience from beginning to ugly, drawn-out end.
