Based on your definition then PayPal is also a scam (froze $120,000 of mine because they could and they had questions about what I was doing). ANY merchant account will do that. It's not a scam. Scam is fraud. Plimus is not a fraudulent company.
I totally agree that their service sucks and their manual order review is terrible and their ordering process is archaic. I would never use them personally. But they are not a fraudulent company.
I'm not trying to protect Plimus. I don't like them as a processor. And they have plenty of unhappy customers. And plenty of happy customers.
I've had accounts frozen with significant amounts of money by both Amazon and PayPal. In both cases I was irate. I both cases I felt like they had no right to withhold *my* money.
And, in both cases, they have policies and procedures in place to protect their business interests. I don't agree with them. But that doesn't make them a scam or fraudulent. It makes them a poor choice for certain people.
Also, in both cases I eventually resolved the issue and got paid. As UtlimateSEO mentioned you will probably have the same result if you do what they ask.
And, in the future, don't use them again. They suck.
