### 1/5 — AWFUL

*2015-02-03, version 1.8058*

This company is a scam... They trick you into what seems like a straightforward contract and then hide the huge annual fees and 3-year contract. Cancel now while you can.  They will auto-draw from you account with no notice. They just subtracted $350 from me without notifying me. 

Worst customer service ever, as well. Beware.

### 1/5 — Leaders user? Turn back now

*2014-11-19, version 1.8058*

If you are downloading this app to process cc using your Leaders account, STOP now. Call Leaders and cancel your pending contract NOW before it's too late. Trust me they are a scam. They cost out small nonprofit $100s
