Nope.

I'd wonder how they got your contact details (seen as they're talking about money)

Is it a sumup replacement or something for offices --> "Cutting-Edge PAX Devices:   Our state-of-the-art PAX A50/A920 devices are designed to offer seamless and efficient transaction."

Here they are --> https://npi.ie  Maybe I'm wrong but looks like a rental fee of €9.99(/week/month?)  "FEES FROM: 0.3% // STARTING FROM €9.99"

Seems unlikely that it's tailored to one man so I'm gonna guess yes.

That sounds like Lar alright, he missed the boat 'Big Time' when Cab-app went Belly-up.

He had a handy number on the go with Cab-app just by taking a small percentage from the CC transactions done on the app. He had many taxi drivers just using it to process CC's at an exorbitant about 3% rate and even when Sum-up came along with a 1.5% rate most drivers (to include Tony, Horse, Bob shilling, Etc) just stuck with Cab-app reader rather than the hassel of changing over.

When Cab-app went Tits-up all those drivers had no choice but to sign up to a new payment version which they forcibly and reluctantly did, and then months later Lar is back on the scene with his all new CC app expecting all those drivers to switch back again, which ain't gonna happen.

It might suit some .9.99 and smaller fees might work out better for high users .Pity people dont look at the offer before attacking the provider .

I think ken has a bit of a beef with him alright. Tbh I think Ken was a bit jealous of him or something.  Never stopped slating the cab app terminal and banging on about paying an extra euro out of every ton. He's already kicking off again about the poor man who's just trying to eek out a living.

Ken is harmless ...he jus has a silly mouth sometimes...especially on Wednesdays as was pointed out by an honorable poster earlier ...
I've forgiven him for callin me a bully an " a bit of a mad cnut " ...he's probly rite about the mad cnut bit tho ... ....
So I tink weel giv owl Ken a second chance horse ....I don't tink the "grovellin apology"  is comin neither so better try an make it water under the bridge .....
If truth be known Ken is quite entertaining an he is a hard worker ....so he has his good points ....an as jesus said on the cross in nazareth ..."   he who throws   stones  in the glass house gets green tomatoes "  O:-)

So let's all giv Ken a big virtual hug an be friends again ....
Wat do ya say ?

Here, here, I concur. We'll forgive Ken and overlook his many, many short comings and failings and try to ignore them as much as we can. Once he stops calling people names like mong and dumbo and all the rest of the nasty things he continually says about folks I'm good with that.

Come back Ken,  all is forgiven. You don't even have to grovel, which you should. Pull up a chair and join the party.
