Part 28: Researching the law in getting stormpuke-stormpay, one way or another

[ 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?

Interpol is the world’s largest international police organization, with 184 member countries. It exists to help create a safer world by supporting law enforcement agencies worldwide to combat crime. Interpol has three core functions, which provide:

and guess what else.....

You can also add these to the list as well:

A petition to the feds, and the media to do a full scale investigation of StormPay.

http://www.petitiononline.com/20061031/petition.html

If anyone want to try and find a law firm that will do a class action law suit to sue MC&G they can search here:

http://classaction.findlaw.com/

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

Find a class action lawyer

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:

http://community.adlandpro.com/forumShowPost.aspx?PostID=311033

It has information for postal authorities in other foreign English speaking countries.

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