BBB issues alert on StormPay
Middle Tennessee chapter reports surge of complaints
The Leaf-Chronicle
The
Better Business Bureau of Middle Tennessee today issued an alert regarding StormPay.com, an online payment processing business, in response to over 180 complaints filed since the end of January.
“A review of complaints filed by users indicate that the company is holding in excess of $460,000,” explains BBB chapter President/CEO, Kathleen Calligan.
The
BBB said it has requested the assistance of federal authorities.
Steve Girsky, StormPay owner, and John McConnell, president of the Clarksville-based business, are diverting the blame for the situation to a Web merchant with whom they’ve been associated, called “12dailypro,” which they say is being investigated by law enforcement.

I want to second Matt's comments above...sums it up in a nutshell. I could not say it better myself.
Amazing how they are trying the same excuse the government uses all the time. "Oh money is missing? Er... Blame it on them!"
If even half of what I have heard lately is true 12 Daily just gave stormpay an excuse to raid the henhouse.
