My experience with Zeni

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I feel that am a victim of ACH Fraud through Zeni. In my experience October 17, 2024 19 ACH frauds happened to my business account. The withdrawal said from Zeni Inc. My business account was drained. My company is a small US business of 3 family members. We are now suffering from Zeni Inc. Here is the reply from Zeni: Please contact your bank and local authorities to file a dispute. Once this is completed, law enforcement will reach out requesting information.

Cons

  • Lack of security

Return on Investment

  • I believe Zeni was taking my money without permission
  • Zeni did not verify the company to be legitimate. They let a gmail address with no website qualify. All they needed to do was look up the real company and verify this is fraudulent.
