Telus & Credit Card Machines

So we received an email from Telus regarding our credit card machine that we had to comply and pay $700 a year to ensure that our customer’s credit card transaction will be saved. And if we refused to comply – we may get fined or even have our credit card services canceled. So it’s like telling us that we need to buy diet pills for men even though our husbands don’t need it?
I can understand if we are like the big boys in town – like Walmart or Staples ringing in like millions of dollars every month – but ours is a small business – so if you want $700 on top of the transaction fees that you are already charging us – what else will you come up with next? Taxes are going up – so are our rent – and water and sewage – what else is next? no one can make a living here can we? So was that email a scam or for real? I will let you know once i find out.
