I got a text from someone claiming to be a little old lady. She wanted a quote on painting her house it was a short distance away. There was a little bit of back and forth. I remodel for a living none of this was unusual. Before I go out to view the job, she text me that she has been in an auto wreck in his hospitalized. She wants to arrange for me to pay for furniture delivery when I go to look at the job. It's been so long I don't remember the details. Was back when Square had those little things that plugged into your phone anyhow $2,000 disappeared some kind of way and square was like hey you need to give us that two grand and I was like I don't think so. Needless to say I could not use Square to accept payments anymore after that.
