SCAM ALERT: Chellecomm, Impact Merchant Group, The Adara Group, and Azura Leasing

As someone who worked directly for Ms. Malone the mastermind behind Chellecomm, Impact Merchant Group, and The Adara Group I witnessed how these companies partner with Azura Leasing to scam business owners under the guise of "helping."

Heres the playbook:

The Bait: A statements rep cold-calls your business, claiming theyve found over-billing or PCI compliance fees.

Youre asked for a merchant statement for a "free audit." that you email to statements@***.com, fax, or text to a "secure line" that is an old iPhone.

The Switch: A sales rep calls back weeks/months later, refreshes your memory, and pitches slightly better rates, wholesale or cash discount program just enough to earn your trust.

The Trap: Once you agree, the merchant account is set up and the equipment is leased through Azura Leasing, locking you into a 45 year non-cancellable lease at wildly inflated prices. The calls are recorded and sent to Azura to back the deal.

The Kickback: Chellecomm, Impact Merchant Group, and The Adara Group receive a cut of the lease revenue so theyre incentivized to upsell unnecessary or overpriced hardware.

If you try to cancel, you're hit with massive termination fees and legal threats from Brian Clark, their attorney. Ive seen it firsthand pressure tactics, confusing terms, and aggressive follow-up that traps unsuspecting business owners in costly, long-term commitments.

The reality? These companies dont exist to help they exist to extract.

Your merchant statement becomes a weapon to sell you something you dont need and can't escape.

Read the fine print. Dont send your statement to anyone you dont trust. And whatever you do avoid Chellecomm, Impact Merchant Group, The Adara Group, and Azura Leasing.

I worked there.

I know how it works. And Im speaking out so it doesnt happen to you.

To warn other customers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

They are in bed with payment hub. They sell you a lease for terminals to use with a merchant services.

The merchant service lies, promises savings, then immediate in months increases interest rates. Ther terminals lease (separate) starts nickel and diming you. Saying you have no insurance after a few months. Then starts charging for not having insurance.

Never letting you know.

They refuse to cancel until you pay off the remainder of the contract. Payment Hub and Azura stay away!!!

If there was a zero, I would give it as a score!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am nearing retirement and I remember asking when i signed up, if I could return the equipment if I decided to close. I have not been happy with this company and when I called to return it, I was told I could but I would have to pay 1,496.42 to do it.

There is no reason for this since many other credit card processors give you the equipment. I did not realize until this call that they are not even handling the processing.

That is a ridiculous amount of money and the staff on the phone was not helpful at all! I will never do business with this company when I am finished paying or I seek legal advice.

Scammed into a contract then wouldn't return calls

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

false information was given to get to sign up. Then added fees that were not discussed.

The people who sign you up have nothing to do with the ones charging you so then they just don't care what happens. lied to me to get me to sign up!

tried talking to the ones who signed me up and they didn't return my calls. Your hooked!!

SCAMMED INTO THEIR CONTRACT

SMALL BUSINESSES BEWARE OF AZURA LEASING LLC

THEY ARE PARTNERS WITH OTHER COMPANIES ONE IS (SBGA) OFFERING CREDIT CARD PROCESSING AT A CHEAPER RATE SAYING YOU WILL SAVE MONEY, THEY LIED AND WHEN YOU SIGN THE LEASE AND HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THEM NO ONE RESPOND TO YOU IF YOU

TRY TO RETURN THE MACHINE AND THEN THEY ARE TELLING YOU IT CANNOT BE RETURNED AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MACHINE.

ALL THE PERSONS WHO WAS RUSHING TO SPEAK TO YOU AT FIRST IS GONE DUMB OR DISAPPEARED, THEY DEBIT YOUR ACCOUNT, THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE STOPPED THEY ARE CRIMINALS THEY PREY ON SMALL BUSINESSES

HOW CAN YOU PAY FOR A MACHINE THAT YOU'RE NOT USING.

Poor customer service, sketchy business practices

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Talked into using Azura by a merchant services representative promising that it would be more efficient, quicker and cheaper to use with Clover, than what we had with Intuit. Unfortunately, we cannot use the system they provided, and they refuse to assist us.

Had we KNOWN it would not work as PROMISED, we would not have agreed to use them. They refuse to acknowledge that deceptive business practices are in play here.

You cannot provide a product that does not work with the buyer's system, and then ignore the requests for assistance. We will be out over $4000 at the end of this.

They are just a scam. They take your money, promise better rates and then steal your money

I was told that I would be saving money with my processing even with the 145.00 per month rental.

The equipment is worth maybe 600.00 and after all is paid I would be spending6500.2-00.

After they have your signature they stop ansering the phone.

Hi there,

I am having the same situation. I am in california.

I am suing them in small claim, but it is not work, so I think I have to take them to big court. Can you tell me what this you do to win the case.

Guest

I am trying to help a friend. Their lease says MBF Leasing, confirmation of lease from First Data, within the lease documents "non-calcelable , et.

shows Azura, signed by Transmerit Merchant Services out of Los Angeles, Ca. Monthly payment of $77.00 for 48 months. The lease was not signed by owner, but owners wife. I know they did not understand this lease at all.

Asian people are very careful with their money and would never agree to this. Can you offer any help.

Guest

i am interested in talking to you call me at 909-287-**** TODD

Guest

I believe they are a shell company for MBF Leasing. I signed a lease with Azura Leasing and had it "sold" to MBF Leasing.

If I would have known I would end up with MBF then I could have googled them to see their deceptive trade practices. Now, from what I see, Azura is a clean name they are using with A BBB rating, to continue the scams for MBF.

Guest

I am intrested in talking with you. Please call me Spencer at 480-227-****

Contact me at the contact info in the original post and let's share the information.

Together the commission for a lawyer can be inexpensive too.

These companies even force / imitate my signature on the contract. My Lawyer is working on the case with them. Any advice?
