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.

Feel 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.

Ripped Off in Illinois V

Mazumah fraud in Illinois (Regions Bank)

On 9/8/05, this company withdrew $100 from my account for what was advertised as a "Gold Upgrade" with the promise that this cash would be made available on a Mastercard Debit Card that would be available soon. The contract information online on their website and still active as of 3/17/08 says that all monies received will be placed in an FDIC-insured financial institution and backed by this institution.

On 4/13/06 and 5/8/06, the company withdrew additional amounts of $100 per transaction for what they called "The Partner Program", which would result in a total of $1,100 in withdraws for a promised $9,900 return as "investors" in their company.

I received phone calls from this company during the summer of 2006 after I stopped any additional withdraws, informing me that I needed to finish my commitment to join "the partner program" to "Receive the promised benefits". I refused and requested a refund of the monies paid, either via direct reimbursement or the promised Debit Card with the funds that I had given them. I received no response.

In October 2007, the company began trying to withdraw $19.95 per month from my checking account without any authorization. I placed a stop payment on this amount, and then the company began trying to withdraw random amounts on a regular basis, including $39.90 from a company called Mazumah. It required me to close my account and place a fraud alert on my credit report.

The e-mail address, mailing address, and phone numbers for this business all seem to be invalid and I have received no response to repeated attempts to rectify this situation and get a refund for all monies owed.
