According to some other people online, this company was once known as GreenZap, where I set up an account and gave them $100 of my hard-earned money when I was just a starving college student, in order to get a gold account and supposedly get a bonus of like $50 to spend in their online stores once it was up and running. Only, it never was. I'd long since forgotten about it, except that it was, (much like Paypal, who is NOT involved!), linked to my checking account... An old account that is still open but that I no longer use.
So, on 3 dates in April, all a week apart, they hit this account, each time for $19.75, which dinged me for $25 each time, for non-sufficient funds. Bleh. MY bank is making me go in there, submit fraud papers on all 3 checks, and all 3 have to be notarized. I was victimized and I have to spend MY money to notarize this crap? Thanks a lot! Where's my money back, by the way? Don't join Orange County's Federal Credit Union, now shortened to Orange County's Credit Union - they are not very helpful and want to charge you money when you're victimized!
They are also forcing me to not just go into their branch and discuss this, but also to file a police report. Only then will I get my dough back! And, until then, my account is being charged money, because they took funds from my Money Market Account in order to pay off my 'bad checks' which put that account under the minimum balance to not be charged a monthly fee! Ugh ugh ugh! Does anyone else see the sick, twisted injustice here??? Victimized all over again!!!
Anyway, back to the fraud itself: It's a completely fake check, each time, with no signature whatsoever. Not where I should've signed (my name is typed in there) and not where the person should've endorsed (it's stamped with a deposit stamp for a B of A account). Two checks went to a B of A account# 501001102480 and the other went to one similar to that, but appears to be 501001102448 instead. All times, the money was cashed at a B of A branch. They have an electronic imprint on the back of each, and two of them have two separate imprints, which implies to me that they may have tried to put them through multiple times or taken them to different branches? Not sure. Also, it appears to me that they probably were put through an ATM, not in person, because my check looks totally fake, not like my real check at all, with my branch address and the design on it - totally manufactured, with an old address I haven't lived at in 3 years, to top it off! And, the memo had the phone # and also said it was for eSafe, whatever that is! Bleh!
I fully intend on filing a report as much as it wastes my time, but I am also going to call the West Hills Police Department to notify them (see the address info from their web site, below), and also B of A. I am going to give them the account info on back of the check and insist to speak with their fraud people, to see what they can do to shut down the account or set up a sting on these people! That is, if they are still operating. I assume they hit the banks in April because of all the extra transactions going on, due to tax time, then took the money and ran. That's just my opinion, but who knows, maybe these @sses will be caught!!?! *please talk to the fraud dept with your bank and with b of a, also with your police dept and west hills pd! Lets get these suckers!!! *
Btw, someone mentioned that the 866 # above links to a 760 # (near San Diego) and provided a police dept # for them. I can no longer find this listing. But, it might be worthwhile. After I called the 866 #, I got a call from a 760# and the people attempted to get more information from me, pretending to be calling from my bank! What nerve! We need to get these jerks and put them out of business permanently! (When I tried to call them back, I think it was a payphone, because it didn't go through. Figures!)
