SPEAK OUT
If you have been ripped-off by a company called (THE) STRONG BUCKS/MAZUMAH then send me an email telling your story and I'll post it on the blog here. Include the state your account is in so I can try and track which states are being hit. This will become a storehouse of stories that will hopefully be used one day to take these people down. All personal information with the exception of your first name will be removed before it is posted here.
strongbuckssucks@gmail.comFeel free to point your bank to this site when disputing your check. The more even local banks know how wide spread this is the better off everyone will be.
Basically you are going to need to close your account.
I also strongly suggest you read THIS post that tells you how to contact and file a grievance with the FBI.
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE PERPITRATORS
At least one of the accounts of deposit is a BANK OF AMERICA account.
The account is under the name: The Strong Bucks, Mazumah, Sabawa, eSafe, Inc.
The account numbers of deposit seem to be: 07250 41512, 07070 06065.
The memo line generally reads: "Monthly Sub Jan-May"
The Check numbers are in the 30,000 range, but have been known to simply be in the 3000 range. A few, like myself, were in the 200 range. Mine was 218.
The Thieves have obtained names, account and routing numbers from all victim accounts. They do not seem to have obtained home addresses (these are either missing or wrong). These "checks" have typed signatures because they are purported to be checks generated from "Internet purchases". I've never met anyone who purchased something off of the Internet by providing their checking account and routing numbers.

Greenzap Fraud in Illinois
I've had my Greenzap account for over a year and haven't been able to transfer money to pay for goods. Greenzap has links to various online retailers who supposedly accept their cash, but when you try to purchase something with it, nothing happens. I've called about 5 of these retailers and they know nothing about Greenzap and claim to have no business relationship with them. I still have $75 in my Greenzap account which I attempted to get back, and they claim to have sent me a check, but nothing yet. Of course I haven't gotten any response from multiple phone calls and e-mails.
A month ago I got dinged for $19.95 from 'Mazumah'. I contacted my bank and immediately got the amount refunded. A week later, they hit me for $39.90, at which point I got another bank refund and closed the account. As mad as I am at Greenzap, I'm also extremely POed at my old bank, who allowed these transactions to go thru for check # '123', not in my usual sequence of checks. The lady at the bank even admitted that neither of these transactions should have been allowed, which is why they refunded the money promptly. I have all of my documentation and will be sending it to my state Attorney General soon.
