moneypak refund
I purchase a green dot moneypak card April 2017 and it was not able to be used on the prepaid I had and was trying to load money on. I submitted a refund request and was told I would get a refund check in 4-6 weeks I never got the refund. I call customer service and they say money pak is internet based but they have no where to file or make a complaint. It's going on almost a year and I haven't received my refund
I am filing a complaint to the FBI. I should be able to get my refund in store. I bought a money pack yesterday and couldn't load money to my card when I know it would be accepted. I have to go to work and I use Uber/Lyft. I am filing a report with FBI. I am so pissed off and frustrated. I want my money back ASAP.

green dot visa card
I alerted the company about two fraudulent charges from the same company on 12/30/17. Since then, they have closed my card, issued a new one, and blocked the new card. I have sent all of the information, INCLUDING an admission in writing from the company that placed the charges on my card. They continue treating me like a criminal, asking for a photo of my ID which I sent twice, I am still have no access to the $22 left in my account, and the stolen funds have not been returned to my account. I have been a cardholder for about 8 years, and I cannot believe the way that I am being treated!
green dot blocked my card and unable to get my money left on my card
On December 28th my card was blocked when I called to see why they said there was unusual activity on my card, and for my protection it was blocked. I tried to submit a picture of my drivers license, my phone does not take good pictures and it was not accepted by your company. And now anytime I try to call, I am not able to speak to anyone, I have tried multiple times. I have 275 dollars left on my card, I have had this card for a while now, and I pay my bills with this card, and deposit money, and I have never had an issue until now. Please help me, as I need my money. My cell is [protected], and my email is maugustine05. [protected]@gmail.com. Thank you

prepaid visa card
I am giving the card as an anonymous gift to a niece traveling to Europe this summer.
I purchased the card today at Wal-Mart. I asked for, and it was verified, a rep in the store customer service department told me the card is good internationally, and the rep verified this with the store manager.
I purchased the card, loaded $500 and took it home. I have not opened and removed the card from the sealed packaging since I think the card holder is suppose to do that.
Reading the instructions on the outside package, it states "The card inside this package can only be used to make purchases in the US and cannot be used to get cash". To add to the confusion, on the other side of the instructions flap, it states you have a "foreign transactions fee - 3% of transaction amount".
So, which is it? Is this card good "everywhere Visa debit is accepted"? Please let me know as soon as possible. I purchased the card from Wal-Mart #05347 in Fort Myers, Florida, at 8:07:37 am, today on 12/27/17.

green dot prepaid card
My name is kevin brossman and my account was recently closed due to "fraud". I have a total of $740.10 on my account that has been closed that I cannot retrieve just before christmas, and would like to know what type of fraudulent activity could possibly have happened on my card seeing that it was me that has been putting money on it? And why can't I get ahold of anyone that can actually tell me why I cannot get my money or open another account with greendot again? I suppose I have to wait until green. Calls me to tell me that I can have my money. I want an explanation! And my money back!

Order Information also remove the Seller advertisement Page say SOLD OUT CLOSE advertising new item cost. Sammy Dress Contact information is a ticket to send a Message that they never respond too.

Pay pal deducts Cost for Sammy Dress claim I need the Debit Card number for this transactions that was used in 2015. they ask question like what was the email address used and cell number from 2015? Is impossible to remember so this gives them the opportunity to just drop it. Why can't they contact business associate get the information needed since I m a customer for them too. I was sent a survey on them made sure it was awful too. The bank and Pay Pal representatives are mostly foreigners n foreign country have heavy accent refuse to give you a supervisor or allow you to do a Appeal on the case after it was denied the refund. I provided them with all the evidence needed but they refuse to admit their wrongs correct their error. I am going report bank to banking Commission and license board, BBB, Consumer protection, State attorney General etc. and post on social media site about these rip off website.

Sammy Dress tickets don't respond to you no matter how many times you contact them its like they're 'Untouchable Ghost.

restricted my account
On 12/15/2017 I returned an IPhone that I purchased at the Apple store.The issue I had was that the original credit card I used to make the purchase was no longer available to credit my money back.Normally they would have sent me a check in the mail, but for some reason that option wasn't available to them.So they returned it to a gift card and then credited me the balance on the gift card to my Green Dot visa.We'll upon walking out of the store my account was blocked.I was in hold for 30 minutes and was told that they couldn't trace the transaction and that I needed to send receipts in.I did what was asked and now it's a waiting game.I have no access to my money which includes my payroll check and Xmas is 10 days away.Once this is issue is finally resolved I will never do business with Green Dot again.

I bought the card so I could buy my wifes Christmas gifts. it was declined everywhere. I called and l cannot use the card except for in person. the whole point of getting this card was to purchase online items for a surprise.

I cant even get money back in time for Christmas to do another way. lady online told me 3 weeks
someone lied about fraudulent charges
Hi my name is Crystal faulkner. I have a complaint against Karen Jean Gaddis. On Sept 1, 2017 Karen Jean Gaddis used her card in the amount 0f $120 to pay her half of the power bill at 1524 Forest Dr Columbus Georgia. In the hone we had leased together. I have proof of her residing in the home as well as emails and text messages requesting the power bill amount so she could pay her half. Karen Jean Gaddis has claimed fraud on a charger she made herself. Due to this she has caused my pre pay Georgia power account to go around -143.00. Karen Jean Gaddis knowly lied with malicious intent. She was asked to leave due to her disrespectful loud verbal attacks on me in front of my 10 yr old son. I have police reports to provide proof of the malious intent. I need to speak with someone in the fraud dept to file a claim against this matter so that the money can be reissued back to Georgia Power to return the acoount back to its prior state. My cell is [protected] or you can email me at [protected]@gmail.com. I also plan to seek criminal charges against Karen Jean Gaddis. Thank you for your time.

moneypak
After filing a grievance with the BBB, the Green Dot Corporation sent me an email from their ccescalations email ([protected]@greendotcorp.com). We talked and the lady on the line gave me 6 case numbers and said that I could call back and get an update on my case. I bought $300 worth of money pak cards from Kroger in Clarksville, Tennessee (spent a total of $335) and when I got ready to download them, there was no money on them.
3 days later, I Call the number that I called earlier during their office hours and got a hang up tone.
This is illegal, immoral, and unjust to say that least. They think that they can take my money without recourse. And mind you Kroger requires that you pay for green dot money pak cards in cash.
Incidently, I mentioned to the Kroger Manager on duty, John Friend what had happened and provided receipts and copies of the money paks. And followed up with 3 written complaints to the Kroger Management on Saturday, December 2, 2017 to John Friend, Assistant Store Manager, Diana Reynolds, Store Manager and to Duane Hatlfield, District Manager. And I have yet to hear from them. I saw John Friend yesterday at the Kroger on Lowes Drive and he state that his manger Diane Reynolds said that she called me. This is not true. If Kroger knowingly sold green dot money cards to patrons, requiring cash for items, knowing that Green Dot Corporation is known to steal customers money, they are equally liable. I want my money back!

Dear Green Dot/Money Pak….
Re: Money Pak Cards Purchased
On 9/10/2017, I bought 5 money paks or $50 each at the Kroger located on Lowes Drive in Clarksville, Tennessee, totaling $300. The green dot #'s are as follows:[removed]
Unfortunately, when I got ready to download the money paks to my Green Dot VisaCard, on 10/26/2107, the online transfer said that the card had already been used. I am disappointed because I did not use my money prior to trying to download it. I contacted Green Dot and was told to go to www.moneypak.com and file for my refund. I communicated with this online site on October 27th, Nov 2nd (4 emails), Nov 4th (6 emails), Nov 7th (6 emails), Nov 10 (6 emails), Nov 14th and Nov 23rd and received some miscellaneous comments:
"We have completed our review and determined that Green Dot is not liable for returning any funds for the reasons(s) listed below: You provided the MoneyPak information to the recipient. There were no funds to recover."
This is a crazy response. I purchased the Green Dot's Money Pak cards in good faith that I would be able to transfer them to a credit card for purchase and my money has been stolen.
For one thing, Kroger sold me the cards at $5.95 each in good faith. I was told that Kroger's policy is the pay with cash for Green Dot/Money Pak Cards. For another thing, when I went to Kroger to let them know that I could not access the funds on my card, they told me to come back the next day and they would research and find out the dates, times, and occurrence of who took money from my card- as this is a standard service for vendors whose gift cards and money cards Kroger sells. When I returned, Kroger called Green Dot and there response was to have me, the client contact www.moneypak.com. Obviously, I feel taken advantage of and mistreated.
I want my money back plus my $5.95 fee per card. This is simply unacceptable.
• I filed a police report with Officer Shawn Delle at www.clarksvillepd.org CPD17-104749
• Filed a complaint with the local Clarksville, Tennessee Better Business Bureau in Tennessee on November 20th. (Complaint ID#: 583791 Business Name: Green Dot Corporation)
To resolve the problem, I would appreciate your company sending me my money back plus my $5.95 for each card purchased. Enclosed are copies of my records (include and not limited to purchase receipts from Kroger, Copies of Money Pak Cards, Police Reports Files, Emails from Green Dot, etc…).
I look forward to your speedy reply and a resolution to my problem and will wait until one week before seeking additional help from a consumer protection agency, Better Business Bureau, and other advocacy groups.
I want my money!
Please contact me at the above address or by phone at [removed] and via email [protected]@gmail.com.
My next step will be to continue a complaint with:
• BBB California
• Consumer Complaint with Consumer Affairs
• FBI Complaint
• Econsumer.gov
• EConsumer.gov and other sites to report fraud as seen on https://www.usa.gov/stop-scams-frauds#item-35157
If feel that the Kroger company should not endorse companies who have obviously been known to take customers money. Apparently, Green Dot has been stealing clients' money for a while. This was my 1st time purchasing Green Dot Money Pak cards.
I expect to receive my money asap.
Sincerely,
Debra Ann Matthews

locked account
My name's Tiffany and I have a few things to say,
I started with a temporary card to pay a bill.
The first time was fine no problem.
Well next time I go to pay my bill I had went and put money on the card, get home and tried to pay my bill it declines it.
Well I end up checking my balance and the money I just put on the card an 1 to 2 hours prior (which was $25) was now a negative $15 and some change. I begin to look at the history and noticed there was 2 payments taken out and paid that I didn't not humanly do or agree to.
I called and went through hell and got the run around then finally got to where I could get that card reported lost or stolen I did and they said I would get a new card.. Ok cool.
Well I finally received my new card yesterday 11/28/17, I go to call and activate it and it says that my BRAND NEW NON ACTIVATED CARD IS locked...um WTF?.. So I try and try and still got NO WHERE I mean god I can't even speak to a damn human ( you know one that bleeds, breathes, and thinks) I tried multiple times to do the Id verification upload and it wouldnt even try or attempt to upload my ID. ( which is already strange to me and I'm not humanly comfortable with) so I spend over 8 hrs trying to get this [censor] "GreenDot"to work.. Nothing... I have called over 40 numbers more than 3-4 times each and I get NOTHING! surprise surprise..
So I think green dot is [censor] and if they can't hire REAL PEOPLE like umm let's see HUMANS then you all don't need to be a business or anything, I think this whole cooperation is FAKE AND [censor].
Oo and by the way [censor] YOU Harvey with your big [censor] white air brushed teeth and this is not a laughing nor smilling matter you should be on the cover for KFC
prepaid debit card
How in the hell do you greedy [censor] [censor] charge $1.50 for every transaction I make with the card I purchased which your greed filled company already charges me a monthly fee? You are clearly robbing the people who made your company what the [censor] it is today! And trying to get someone on the phone from your company is [censor]ING IMPOSSIBLE. I will never use your company again & every chance I get I will tell everyone I know & tell those I don't know that your company is a [censor]ING SCAM!# So in closing KISS MY [censor] & I hope the federal government destroys your piece of [censor] COMPANY!

money pak
On November 24th my husband and I went to the local mall shopping .Our son was home but leaving for work so I recalled having a green dot card in my purse. Shortly after, we waited to see if the money was on our green dot card of which it wasn't. My hubbys first response was to call Moneypak to see why the funds were not transferred yet. He was told by them that it could take up to 2 hours. After that initial call to Moneypak we could never get back through to them. So, we started reaching out to green dot who said their hands were tied and we needed to contact Money pak of which we reiterated that we have tried numerous times with no success. I finally get a supervisor at green dot who then informs me that Money pak does not have a phone or means of speaking with them on the phone that we were victims of fraud. Our last instructions from green dot was to file a claim on the money pak webpage. We did that and now the claim has been denied and we are out our $140. I have called green dot on several occasions and I am getting no where. They cannot tell me who informed me to call money pak and are basically saying oh well..it's our loss! Why would green dot be associated with people like this and why would they deny my refund when I was instructed to contact Money pak in the first place by them.
prepaid debit card
Got prepaid debit card with $500.00 from Walmart. 10-17-2017. Tried to register card by phone. Machine misread my name and cancelled everything, with no options. I cannot access MY MONEY. No one available by phone. They said good at point of sale. NO. Gets denied.
I want my money back NOW. You (Green Dot) are stealing my money. It is not possible to be polite when a big company steals your money and it is impossible to even contact them. Call it what you like, this is theft.
