Merchant 911 - True Industry Leadership

January 20th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Merchant 911 - True Industry LeadershipSo often, people in the industry look to make that quick buck, everything from overcharging for PCI Compliance to gouging TMF merchants for international processing fees. The list goes on and on and yet it’s a good thing when we can see a true leader of the merchant community really try to give back to the industry.

In January, 2001, Merchant 911 was formed by Tom Mahoney as a non for profit project dedicated to educating merchants on preventing online fraud. The project is funded and supported by Mr. Mahoney himself and has received acclaim from the Wall Street Journal and many industry leaders.

Membership into the Merchant 911 program is free and as a member, you will receive real time alerts from the community of over 3,000 members regarding the latest fraud activities on the internet as well as the latest news and tips.

My hats off to Mr. Mahoney and those who continue to make Merchant 911 a great resource for the small and medium-sized online merchant.

    I don’t know who you are but thank you for those kind words. It’s nice to know the efforts are noticed and appreciated.

    We’re over 3600 strong now and still growing slowly.
