Three - ESafe - GreenZap Fraud By eSafe Payments Nevada
I once had an account with Green Zap a few years ago and had closed it.
Today I checked my account, to find a check made out to Three Inc for 19.75. Upon a closer look I see its an e-Safe payment. Which I did not authorize.The date of the e-payment was 4/22/08and was processed 4/24/08.
Now I have to contact my bank and their fraud department to get my money back and stop them from doing it again.
We had this problem before and had to have our bank reverse the transaction.
I don't remember if it was Three, Inc., or not.
I just did a search for GreenZap and found there active website and this information at Wikipedia: "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 19.95 out of every account. Anyone who has been a victim can contact the FTC at their website."
Now it seems to me that GreenZap is in cahoots with eSafe. I also found that GreenZap has "cease and desist" orders by the state of Texas and California.
Hmm the plot thickens!
I'm all for ending their fraudulent existence of GreenZap, Three Inc, & eSafe once and for all.

I have been ripped off by these scumbags too. I had multiple checks for $19.75, 19.85 , 19.95 fraudulently debited to my bank account. Thankfully all of this has now been reversed by my bank ---including the $100's in overdraft fees accrued as a result. The debits are still reoccurring however. Hopefully, they will be nailed soon and dealt with accordingly.

If you are a victim, follow these steps:
1. Make a report with the FBI here:
http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/
2. Make a report with "Rip-Off Report" here:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/login.asp
3. Contact me directly if you would like some compensation for the hassle. I will be creating a class action lawsuit to get compensation for the money they stole and for the time and money it takes you to close your current bank account and open a new account (overdraft fees, stop payment fees, check ordering fees, mileage, phone calls, postage, etc). Contact me via eBay with my username (zfinancial) or do a search for my name (Mike Zoril) on MySpace or Facebook.
4. Make a report with the BBB here:
http://southernnevada.bbb.org/complaintform.asp
5. Contact your bank and file the proper paperwork to allow your bank to charge the money bank.
6. Contact Bank of America at 1.888.287.4637 and inform them that their customer is illegally using their bank to commit fraud. Your bank has a record of the specific account number they used and so I do. Contact me or your bank if you would like THEIR account number.
7. File a complaint with the State of Nevada here:
http://ag.state.nv.us/org/bcp/complaint_form_bcplv ...
8. Make a police report at your local police station.

Goto your bank, put a stop payment on the check, close your account, reopen another one, write a statement, mail a copy of the check plus all supporting evidence to your local FBI office. Don't file the complaint online, mail it to the office. I had the same problem with the same company and their other companies, it's a money front scheme. File the complaint and help the FBI build the case!
