I was scammed into buying $2,500 in MoneyPaks on 12/19/16. When the scammer asked for the numbers, I finally figured out I was being scammed. I went back into RiteAid, but they could not give me a refund because the register had been turned over. They told me to buy a reloadable card. Then I found out, MoneyPak can only load to a personalized reloadable card, so I had to wait to get it in the mail. I was able to load $1,000 onto the reloadable card, but then hit my monthly limit. So, I already paid $32 dollars in fees and still couldn't get to the other $1,500 without buying 2 more reloadable cards and waiting for them to arrive. Instead, I found a way to submit a refund request online. Then, I got a letter with a reference number asking me to send copies of the cards, receipts and my Ca Drivers licence. There was no email, contact name or address; just a PO Box in Pasadena. I returned all the necessary paperwork and they received it. I got a $500 refund check, but no word on the $1,000. Since I submitted all three at the same time, I am not sure what to think. I've called customer service multiple times, and they only refer me to the website. I've sent messages to the GreenDot facebook page and they say my claim has been escalated. Not sure what that means. They've had my money for 5 weeks and no one has been able to tell me if there is a balance on the cards and if or when I will get the rest of my money back. I think this company trains criminals to scam people and then just keep the money. This company should be prosecuted in a class action lawsuit for making money off the backs of scam victims.

Purchased two $20.00 money pak in error. Called for refund on November 14, 2016. Representative told me they would send me a refund. However I have yet to receive my refund and it's now January 4, 2017. Cannot get anyone to answer when I call. I checked online and it shows refund issued but I have never received it..

piqua ohio bought a $500 moneypak at krogers to be used to be used to get our grandson out of jail which turned out to be a grandparents scram I did not give the scamed the moneypak 14 numbers on the back of the card butupon requesting a refund from moneypak they told me that some one had cashed it. that someone was not me. my name is Charles manges phone number is 9377735373

A month ago I bought a Green Dot Moneypak reload at my local CVS Pharmacy to put $75 on my step-daughter's card for traveling expenses to come home for Christmas break from college. I paid for the card, the receipt showed that the transaction went through. I immediately walked out to my car in the parking lot, scratched of the card for the reload code and attempted to add the funds. It said there was a zero balance. I walked right back inside and spent over two hours with the cashier who tried repeatedly to call Green Dot. I was eventually directed to their dispute/refund department and filed a claim.
A week later they called to say that somebody had somehow swiped the funds the minute I entered the information. They said they knew who did it and were suspending that person from ever having a Green Dot card. They refused to tell me who did it and told me to call law enforcement and file a report, which I did.
Today the Detective handling my case said he called Green Dot and they told him they would not give him any information without a subpoena, however the loss amount was not enough to warrant a subpoena in Florida and they told him to direct me back to customer service.
After multiple runarounds I got ahold of a supposed "supervisor" who told me that their "investigation" determined that the loss was due to "victim assisted fraud". When I asked them to explain they said that they could only reveal that I had been "intimidated into loading funds" and was therefore unable to get a refund and the case was "resolved". They said their investigation was closed and they would not change their decision. I told them that was a lie, I have never been blackmailed, extorted, or whatever it is, that there is no way any real investigation would reveal such nonsense and continued to demand payment. They continued to tell me they would not change their position, but said that someone would contact me in two business days. They also asked me several times for my Social Security Number, which I refused to give them, since they were the ones who have either a security breach or are running an outright scam themselves.
Upon checking the Better Business Bureau website, I found countless examples of people who had the exact same problem and were given the exact same BS "investigation results" with the same "resolution" of preventing the supposed thief of ever owning a Green Dot card.
Also, the same week I got ripped off their was a story on the local news about a woman who had the identical, immediate, zero balance situation situation happen for $900, but after law enforcement and the news team got involved they refunded the money. Perhaps that's because $900 is enough to get a subpoena that would show that they are lying about their internal fraud investigation results.
If the company admits to it being some sort of fraud and they know who did it, why would they REFUSE to assist law enforcement, even if it WAS "victim intimidation", (which is absolutely was not)?
There is something fishy going on. Their customer service is horrible. They are liars and thieves. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM GREEN DOT. You have been warned.

Good Afternoon,
I bought some moneypaks with $500 on each. I loaded most of them up with no problem at different times to pay certain bills. This morning I went to pay on my car insurance and tags. I had 2 moneypak cards that were not even scratched yet. Once the car agent told me my total I literally scratch the back of one and tried to load the card. It said that it was an error the first time. When I re-entered it again. It told me that it was at a zero balance. I went into a panic because I need car insurance or else you can not get around here in Augusta. I put that card aside and tried the next one and it went thru. But I still need my original $500 back because I have to buy my tags. Tried to call but was very unsuccessful!!!!!! Can someone please assist me with this matter.

Was getting a loan with this company called Lending Club.com. They was unable to use my account. Went through Western Union to get the loan on the 06/06/2014 which was on a Friday I gave them $152.00 to process the loan. then they told me that I would have to pay a fee for $289.69 on 06/09/2014 which was on a Monday. Then Mr. Chase tell me that I had the wrong amount and I would have to buy another green dot card for the amount of $298.59 which was on Tuesday 06/10/2014. The when I done all of that he gets on the line and started talking about a taxes fee of $400.00 dollars and some changes I got so mad at him that I told him I wasn't paying them another dime. So not I'm out of $740.28 which I desperately need. The loan was suppose to be for $3000.00 dollars but it is turning out to be a scam.

I purchased a moneypak card a little more than a year ago. It got lost in the shuffle of a move, and finally re surfaced. I went through the refund process and got the standard "you should receive your check in 7-10 business days". It's now been 14 days and still no check? I have sent 2 messages to their supposed customer service with no response! I can't find a customer service # to even call them? Even if I could, from what I've read, they've been no help for others. As far as I'm concerned, a company that is willing to take your money, then drag their feet with no contact to your inquiry, or even worse not send your refund AT ALL, should be shut down and put out of business!!! I have no idea if I'll EVER see my check, or how to take action? These guys blow!!!

i wish i would of read customer reveiws and complaints before i bought a moneypak i did receive a check but cant cash it it because it shows code red INVALID CHECK nice

I needed a way to pay the Netflix bill on the same day, without having access to deposit money into the bank (which is a whole different story, by the way.) I got a recommendation to buy a Greendot Moneypak, which turned into a huge nightmare, and still is. I brought the card and receipt home, it was apparently supposed to have a scratch-off for the number but didn't, and instead the card told me to refer to the receipt. Which, in fact, was covered with long numbers all relating to the Greendot card, with a handy little activation number of 00|00|00|00 or some ridiculous thing that obviously would not work, as it was *all zeroes*! I went online, tried the numbers from the barcode on the card, they didn't work. So I tried various numbers off the receipt, and they didn't work either. I then called Customer Service, but despite their blurb about being able to activate your Greendot 24/7, and this having been on a Monday, the office was CLOSED, both the helpline and the activation line. Thus, I was not able to pay the Netflix bill that day.

Today, I called back during business hours, and reached that same old phone robot voice, this time rhythmically assaulting my ears with "Your estimated wait time is 20 minutes" and slick company lies about how "Your call is important to us" and "We are sorry about the wait", for about 45 minutes before I got a live person, who unfortunately had an accent and was quite hard to understand. After much back-and-forth, and "What? What? What?" on my part, I received a "case code" in which the company was apparently "investigating" my case (what is this, the FBI?) and to call back in 4 hours to receive a new number for the card so that I could activate it; that would be, then, about 3:15 pm. I got off the phone with an enormous headache, and went off to pass the time until the number would be ready. Just now, about an hour after the end of that conversation, I decided to call back and see if, by a stroke of good luck, my number would be ready. I was lucky I did, but not because the number was ready - apparently they *did not begin* whatever process they were supposed to be doing until I called the second time. Now, it seems as if it will not be ready until 4:30 if it is ready at all.

The one good thing about this is that I was given a handy little survey in which I gave mostly "1's" with regards to how satisfied I was (where 5 is the maximum satisfaction, and 1 is "extremely dissatisfied"), and it even had a list of reasons for dissatisfaction which were remarkably easy to pick from. I'm not sure whether to be grateful that it was easy, or horrified that these options are so well-suited to a problem like mine (ie how many times has this happened before?!)
