Company providing VISA / MC Merchant services to spammers:
www.paysystems.com is encouraging spam by providing merchant services to spammers:

In this particular scam, the spammers request US$39.95 from visitors, to learn how to make "free money". The merchant processing this fee is a VISA merchant located in Montreal, Canada: http://www.paysystems.com

We have contaced paysystems numerous times. They have not cooperated and they even hung up on us. We have records of this. Worse, as of today, they are still collecting on behalf of the spammers: http://www.pharycon.com/grant.htm .

(http://auth.paysystems.com/sale.asp?pd_info=0B8CEC2C69B04885FF6469F695F2B85F3297358355D040DD74FAD8B7FEF4F5B3)

If you would like to give your piece of mind to paysystems and their code of ethics, please contact them at 1-866-699-9022. If you notice that paysystems has in fact discontinued providing service to their clients who send out millions of spam messages, please contact us - phil att filounet dott com.

You are also encouraged to contact VISA and Mastercard about the type of activity that they indirectly promote by allowing merchants such as paysystems to promote fees that profit spammers.
