Answer 2

Pivotal Payments is a reputable merchant services provider with over 35,000 customers. You're likely referring to the Craigslist ad that requested money to be sent, that was using the company's name to gain credibility. This person posted different credit card processors (Pivotal Payments, Moneris, Chase Paymentech) and tried spoofing their websites to get money. As for the company itself, they've been in business since 2003 and are Canada's fastest growing independent merchant services providers.
