Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I noticed an Electronic Check made out to "Encryptacloud" on my bank statement in the amount of $21.95. When I looked up the merchant, Global Lake Holdings was listed. I had never heard of either business. I made a claim with my bank for the money to be returned to me and am not sure if they investigated but obviously this is a scam and the scammer has access to my name, address and bank account number and was somehow able withdraw $21.95 from my account without my authorization.

This company withdrew $21.95 from my checking account 6/12/18. The copy of the check showing on my account does not appear to be MY banking check for bill pay. The payee is Encryptacloud, check number 161, amount $21.95, in the memo section "Private Cloud ###-###-####" is notated. The rear of the check shows Global Lake Holdings, account 2018-06-12. I looked up this company on line which reveals they are a billing and or holding company. The telephone number listed on their website ###-###-####. I contacted my banking institution. I was told this company is a scam. My bank will put a stop on the check and a stop from any further withdrawals. Banker told me this occurs frequently and the scammers get away with it as few people balance their checkbook on a regular basis.

On 6/6/18, a check was posted to my account from "Encryptacloud" and as signature it had "by Encryptacloud as authorized signatory for [my name]". The "check" had my name and address and the name of my bank and the amount of $21.95 on the front. It was endorsed by "Global Lake Holdings, Acct# 3801702367". My bank gave me the phone number 1-877-873-0457. I called there and they said they are a third-party processing center. They gave me a phone number for Encryptacloud of 1-844-221-2275 – which is out of service – and a website of techsoftsols.com, for which the domain expired. I will not attach an image of this check because it includes personally identifiable information. My bank investigated and credited the money back to my account. That account was closed and another was opened. The perpetrators are still out there, with my name and address and the name of my bank.
