Beware of this scam. I urge you to check your bank account statements or CC statement. Phoney bank checks are being made payable to:
Mazumah mipayment.Biz
Customer Service
800-800-4923
These checks are being produced by this company and appear legitimate, complete with watermarks and all of your info including Name, Address, Routing Number, and Account Number and submitted to your banking institution for withdrawl from your account.
They state on the bottom:
" No Signature Required
Electronic Signature on file
This check has been electronically authorized by voice or electronic verification by your depositor."
I was hit 2 times in two weeks by this fraud company. Once on 9-4-07 for $19.95 and again on 9-17-07 for $ 39.90.
I have never authorized anything with this company... Nor have I ever participated in anything in regards to this company. I haven't any idea how they obtained this info.
I brought documentation of the withdrawls as well as copies of complaints from usacomplaints.com to my bank this morning. My Banking Rep. As well as her Supervisor contacted the number on the checks and of course got what I got... Redirected to a phoney web address. My bank has now initiated stop payments on both checks as well as red flagged future checks. They will contact me personally if any more try to come through my account. I will have to change all my account numbers as well.
Some other report filers had stated that they had past accounts with a service called Greenzap, a sister company and had cancelled their accounts several years ago and are just getting hit and that seems to be a common link.
However, I have never had an account with Greenzap or any of it's affiliates, didn't even know who or what they were until searching info on the internet.
Therefore, this is certainly, not only a case of monetary theft, forgery, and counterfiting, but more so a case of identity theft. Which is a Federal Crime. My personal information was stolen to perpetrate the acts of counterfiting for the sole purpose of commiting theft.
I urge everyone, even if you have never had any dealings with these companies to please pay close attention to your banking statements.
If this should happen to you please do the following:
* If possible make copies of these checks via your online banking statement.
* Make a copy of your banking statement highlighting the checks.
* Copy some of the reports filed here as well to bring with you for added ammuntion, I brought a bunch of them... The banking rep was shocked to say the least.
* Contact or better yet, if possible go to your bank personally and ask to speak with a banking rep.
* Explain to them what has happened to you and ask that they also contact the Customer Service number located on the check, mine did it right in front of me.
* Contact your State Attorney Generals Office, The Better Business Beareau, The F.D.I. C, The FTC, your State Police Fraud Unit, and the FBI Fraud Investigation Division.
* Please have copies of all your documentation as you will nedd to file the documents with these agencies in order for them to investigate.
* Post here on this forum to warn others and gain attention to this serious crime. This forum was extremely helpful to me and gave me info I would not
otherwise have.
* Don't allow these Criminals to get away with what they are doing.
