In July I had a fraudulent electronic check for $99.75 written to "Strongbucks" taken out of my account. Strongbucks is located in CO. I filed a dispute with my bank, police reports, letters to the bank where the money was deposited, and the bank reimbursed me. I began the process of closing my account and opened another one. I left some money in the old account to cover checks that had not cleared. I was preparing to withdraw the remainder when another fraudulent electronic check in the amount of $19.95 to "Mazumah" appeared. I immediately filed another dispute and closed the account completely. Again my bank reimbursed me, but it was a real headache to make all the changes from the old account to the new one. I went to the website listed on the copy of the electronic check - www.mipayment.biz - and filed a complaint. They responded and told me they had cancelled the transaction and were sending my $19.95 back by USPS. Following is the message I received just the other day:

"MiPayment wrote:
We had to wait for a period of 3 days to verify that the funds actually cleared. We have since issued you a check in the amount of $19.95 and sent it via USPS.

With respect to the transaction, our company purchased several customer bases from other companies. It appears that we purchased your membership from a company by the name of Zap Exchange. Please let us know if you would like to be removed from our records.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you."

Silly question "do I want to be removed from their records?" Duh!! I never even heard of any of these companies except for GreenZap, which I had joined years ago and then cancelled my membership. What they're doing is illegal and they need to be caught. However, now the website and email address are no longer valid, so they've apparently pulled their info from the internet.

#4 REBUTTAL Owner of company

The Real Strongbucks

AUTHOR: Anonymous - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, September 27, 2007

I am an owner of Financial Fitness, LLC in Greeley, Colorado and we offer a Strongbucks program. Our website is www.strongbucks.com. Since Early July we have received calls/emails from individuals who have had electronic withdrawals made from their checking accounts in the amount of $99.75. We are NOT the perpetrators of this fraud and I have talked to numerous individuals regarding this. I have told them to immediately notify their banks and file a police report. The individual responsible for this criminal activity has been traced to San Diego and, after talking with a detective in the Economic Crimes Unit, he was able to find that there is actually a Federal investigation into this individual dating back a few years. It seems that these fraudulent withdrawals are somehow linked to Greenzap accounts.

Should you need to contact me, please email me at mlaforest@strongbucks.com or you may call me at 970-330-7202 or 970-313-4911.
