Green Dot Blocked account

Good morning Greendot, I tried to log in this morning and it says I should reverify my ID over suspicious activities. That's very weird because the only activities on my account is my unemployment paycheck.
Now I'm trying to verify my ID the site isn't accepting my card number and when I call it says my account is blocked, please can I ask what for? My account is blocked because the government tried to verify my Greendot account to know if it's functioning and then when I'm to receive payment today I can't log in.
Please I need my account unlocked, thank you.
Incident happened this morning: 06/04/2021
My phone number is [protected]

Desired outcome: My account should be opened back so I can verify my IDENTITY

Green Dot Specialist Team

I reached out to Green dot specialist team reagarding my account, which at the time had 98.00 available on my account. I believe the person that took my call and knew this has something to do with a scam charge that happen 20 minutes after I got off the call with a lady from green dot specialist department. The total amount was 35.73 taken from my account leaving my balance less then what i had to pay my bill on. I called back and ask to speak with a supervisor and she told me its pending and could not do anything about it. I then had to ask the supervisor which should show if calls are recorded for Corporations phone number the number she provided me did not get me to anyone in return the number she gave stated for me to call back the same number that got me to a specialist. At this point I am very aggravated with using this again. I should have you all investigated as i believe you have a mule in the specialist department whom notice i had funds and took advantage of it.

Desired outcome: I want my money back, and i will close out this account and no longer use this either.

Green Dot Lockcard

They locked my account because unusual activities and when I called customer service they'd explained that the system locked my card for unusual activities. I explained to them the only activities were my unemployment payments being deposit into my account every week. They said that the system triggered this as unusual activities. They asked for me to upload my ID to the email they've they provided and I have done so. With no response within a few days I called back and they gave me another email to send my ID. I sent my ID but no response within a few days and I called again. They gave me a 3rd email address to send my ID to and yet no response. I need my money!

Desired outcome: I want my money!

Wow! Pleas out of principal and for everyone here DO NOT ACCEPT WHAT HAPPENED! sure let the money go! At least that’s what I’ve done, but keep calling numbers and fighting and you will eventually get your money. Does that receipt show where you loaded the card? If so that is a legal binding contact (I am pretty sure anyway) you need to talk to the right people. Have you read the legal agreement, Specifically the part about arbitration?
Before I actually used the company, I always thought green dot with a reputable company but now after seeing how they work I realize that they’re basically loan sharks and are making all their money off of people accidentally overdrafting! This isn’t the case with me though I only loaded my card ($300)and was unable to use it then was charged for replacement fees for a new card and shipping fees! So after putting my money in their card $300 is now $12 in the red! And talking to the customer support agents is like punching myself in the face. they all tell me different things all inaccurate they hang up on me they iend chats while I’m talking! I’ve never seen a company act this way and survive!
Good luck to you! Good luck to everyone here! Do not give up on getting your money! Don’t let this nasty loan shark win this one too, they win all the time! You have an actual shot to win one! I appreciate this website also!👍👍
HEY GREEN DOT!……..🖕🖕
