GreenZap/eSafe scam.. BEWARE

turbosocks · May 14, 2008 at 7:41 AM

this is quoted from my tiburon forums that i still belong to. i posted this earlier today and wanted my fellow srt/c guys to be on the lookout.

well, this is the first time i have been scammed by the internet. 'owned.gif' none of it was my fault by giving out info, someone seeing my bank account info, etc.

MANY MANY people are at risk.. basically anyone that had opened a greenzap account is at HIGH risk.

As some of you know, greenzap was a company that was supposed to compete with paypal a few years ago. they offered a 25$ incentive to sign up, and NO ONE go their 25$ cuz it was 'web bucks'

Anyway, about a month ago, GreenZap was bought by a 'dummy' corporation which WIKI quotes:

QUOTE
In April 2008 GreenZap was purportedly purchased by DCL-ENV Inc., otherwise known as eSafe. This company is largely believed to be a fraudulent dummy corporation that in actuality has stolen bank account information from GreenZap and began cashing unauthorized checks for $19.75 or $19.95 out of every account. Anyone who has been a victim can contact the FTC at their website.

these withdrawls have been documented as early as mid-2007 that i have found. its also known as the Strong Bucks scam.

There are many websites that document the various people nationwide that this has affected. If you try emailing greenzap, emails bounce back.. if you try calling, they assure you of rebate checks, and they bounce.

some people have had 100$ a month deducted from their accounts and as much as 500$ at one time. Most are 19.75 or 19.95.

Here are some various websites and threads about this scam.

No, you posted correctly, I just thought it would be better viewed if in the News forum. After all, any and all visitors and members alike will see this.
