Merchant Account Termination: GotMatrix.com

Is this the end of the road for GotMatrix?

GotMatrix.com, a large matrix site that launched earlier this year, has been plagued with problems lately. They were just recently reported to the Ohio-State Attorney General's office for allegedly violating certain laws. Now, Got Matrix has been dropped by their credit-card merchant, PlugNPay.com. Matrix Sites depend upon a constant supply of new credit-card orders coming in so the current customers on their ever-growing lists can "cycle off". Lately however, many pay companies have been considering the consumers who can be negatively affected by these sites, and as a result, the pay companies are cutting ties with the matrix sites.

This news comes on top of the recent announcement that Kagi, a California-based credit-card merchant, has cancelled their services to two major matrix-friendly pay companies-- Pay Request and StormPay.

UPDATE: 2Checkout.com has terminated their services to Matrix321.com and their sister site, MatrixWinnings.com. None of these sites have issued a formal response as of yet.

Correction and apology:

My deepest apologies go out to GotMatrix.com for any comments that appeared misleading.

Here are a couple corrections/clarifications:

When it was reported that PlugNPay "dropped" or "terminated" their services to GotMatrix, it must be undestood that sometimes this is a 24-hour action, and other times it is a 30-60 day process.

Regarding the Attorney General Report, GotMatrix has not released exactly what the reason was, but they have stated that they have resolved the issue.

This main-page announcement has been removed. I would like to extend the most sincere apologies to all who were negatively affected by it. I cannot say that the information is 100% false, but I can say that this is not the time to announce these details. GotMatrix will be able to answer the questions associated with this report, and I trust that they will be completely honest with you. Thank you.

With incresed priviledge, comes increased responsibility. We are learning this lesson here at Matrix Watch.
