A payment processor that has a "Lucrative Referral Program". This should be interesting.

Just a snippet taken from http://www.alertpay.com/siteMerchantAccount.aspx
The following businesses are restricted from using AlertPay's Premium Account due to their "risky" nature. AlertPay's Secured Account offers chargeback prevention and should be selected for business such as these:

Gambling
Lottery Ticket Sales
Mailing Lists
Mature Audiences
Multi-level Marketing, Pyramid, and Matrix Programs
Payment Randomizers

Please contact customer support if you are not sure which account is best for you.

A payment processor that has a "Lucrative Referral Program". This should be interesting.
When PayPal first started out they gave you $10 for everyone you signed up
So did Citipay? before they went out of business
However there were NO requirements like AlertPay where they have to transact $250 to get it

AlertPay won't be handing out too many $5 referrals and even fewer $10 ones
Not very "Lucrative" IMO
Refer a Friend to AlertPay!

When you make AlertPay your friend's way to pay to online, we'll pay you $5.00. But it gets even better, when you refer more then 10 friends to AlertPay, we'll begin to pay you $10 for each referral after your 10th!. (more details below).

Note: In order to receive your referral bonus, your referral must fulfill the following requirements:
"Create an AlertPay Premium or Secured account (or upgrade their personal account)
"Transacts at least $250.00 (sending and/or receiving) through their AlertPay account.
Not the next Paypal
Maybe the next StormPay? or worse??

The sign up page is NOT secure!!!
no padlock or https

The whole site should be secure like PayPal

What an interesting payment site.

They want your business if you run a scam, but they don't want your business if you are going to participate in a scam. I guess they know that they can't offer both payment protection against being scammed and also protecting the merchant from pesky victims. :)

I think it is pretty safe to say that Alertpay is a huge scammers heven and will not be around for long with those kind of terms.

[jokach]

I think the key is evaluating a payment processor like you would evaluate a bank, because essentially, its the same thing, they have access to your money. Any processor that is looking to support scammers, or looks to allow you to use their service for fraudulent actions, should be avoided!

just my two cents, but it sounds like another one of these payment processors like that jdrescue was going to start up ... (I wonder if its the same script????)
