[ I have written a series of posts about the "pay the storm" bugaboos. I call it "The Stormpuke--Stormpay Story: Getting to the Heart of the Matter in Posts" . You can get it here. This nightmare is ongoing with no end in site. ]
Someone sent me a link to this site that is getting people together in hopes of getting a lawyer that is willing to bust stormpuke at all costs. This site is: http://www.scamfund.com/scamfund/
I found some amusing information about the "bank" stormpuke is using from a blogger:
Stormpay's banking information

Speak to Electronic debit dept.
An amusing note on their site: The bank is not responsible for and has no control over the subject matter, content, information, or graphics of the web sites that have links here.
Makes you wonder who is really running that "bank" now. Doesn't it?
Those in the UK who have been affected by stormpuke are saying that the only way of getting stormpuke in a lot of stormy trouble is by contacting the Interpol:
Interpol Contact Information
What is Interpol?

The Comprehensive Law and Government Site
Hieros Gamos "is the largest and only comprehensive legal site with over 20,000 original pages and more than 70,000 links." Various databases contain information on legal organizations including every government in the world, practice areas, "doing business" guides, news, and online seminars. The online law library contains extensive reference works, including many foreign language dictionaries. [It's printed in over 50 languges so most people are bound to find important information about filing a claim in court here in their language.]

Between the web sites header and just above where it says "resources" there's a clickable link that says:

after clicking on that link you can do a search for a class action law firm in your state.
And this post made by me at the Ad Land Pro Communites:

Hope these links will help someone find justices where right now there is none..
