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.

I’ve also been ripped off from this. I called the number on the check 3 weeks ago, was promised a check for 3x19.95 and would receive it by early “next week”. Watched mail EVERYDAY since I owe somebody exactly $60 so I was just going to use this $ for it. Never received it. Called back today, got a roundabout “enter phone number”. Found another number to call and basically nicely bitched out the answering machine, after reading everyone else’s horror stories. Got a call back 10 minutes ago from Laura saying to call her back. Will after work and I am going to tell her that I have read all these stories online and want a check overnighted (yeah right, but will try). This is so stupid! Why can’t they credit ALL the bank accts back without everyone calling in, they can obviously get that information, and it’s SO easy to take it out.
