I bought cards at walgreens that I never noticed were scratched off on the back of the card. I bought 2 different cards at different times of the day and both of the cards were tampered with.When I got home to load my cards to my paypal card 4 hours after purchase I was told that my balance was zero.I went through the procedures by opening a dispute and then faxing the cards, my reciepts, my load amount receipts.

I was told that the inviestigation will take 8 days. The 8th day is today and nothing has happened. I was advised that my money was used to load someone's credit card that used the money from moneypak. Then I was told that there is a scam going on with their products but yet they could give me the name of the person since I wasnt the card holder.

My dispute was closed and I was told to contact the police and have the police call them and they will give the police the information. I want my 460.00 and I will be contacting my attorney for the damages in which my bills not being paid and my money not returned is causing. I havea dispute in with Paypal where I loaded the money and a call into Walgreens corporate office. These cards should be discontinued because the moneypak company andvised me that since my moneypak number wasnt checked frequently they close my dispute but they know that I didnt use my money.

It is crazy how all of them have indian accents and now Im getting crazy calls from indian people laughing and playing on my phone the employees at moneypak and the scammers are working together. You are going to tell me that me losing 460.00 is just a loss, not in this world ofg hard economic times. I am contacting the press and the their corporate office. I was told I was going to get a new reload card with the amount lost.

Nothing has been given back to me and I have been dealing with this since June 21st, 2013 at 4:30pm and I still have yet to havea resolution. I have a police report, a detective on the case, paypal disputes investigations, moneypak closed the investigation and walgreens has yet to return any calls since the dispute was given back to them. If they have damaged or tampered with products they shouldnt be sold.

No one is trying to give me my money back and telling me to sue the person that stole it, by the way which they wont name to me since I am not on their account. This ring needs to be exposed and moneypak should be more responsible for the product

Monetary Loss: $460.

I will tell you how to get what it is they are with holding wrongfully! There are rules that the specialists must abide by provided you do not yell, verbally abuse or threaten them!

1 They cannot hang up on you or end the call as long as you are respectful. 2 They cannot hang up with you until you agree to the resolution 3 when they try to put you on hold say no i dont want to be hung up on again they can do what they need to with out it. stay persistant and do not give in you will be able to resolve it in the manner you can be comfortable with without being straight screwed!

I myself have been through *** with this company and seriously enjoy the frustration I was finally giving back to them! I have recovered 200 for my boyfriend that mysteriously disappeared but I was on the phone for 3 hours.

I got a new temp card for a balance transfer of my tax refund and was allowed to keep my account open for the state refund to still be deposited on and ensured it by leaving 40 on the card. 20 to expedite the replacement and 20 to ensure it cannot be closed.

I am going to change my major to legal studies and I swear I will find the unconstitutional and illegal policies and sue the *** out of this corporation.

The fact that the cardholder agreement is enclosed when purchased is unconstituional due to the fact you cannot read it to agree to it BEFORE purchase therefore you unknowingly waive rights. THAT IS unconstitutional JUST LIKE TURNING A GOD GIVEN RIGHT INTO A PRIVILEGE EG: DRIVING LICENSES

Just got scammed out of $200 yesterday. It sucks that Greendot has no trace on to who took the money or authorize any money to be taken out. :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Guest

A MONEYPAK WAS PURCHASED AT WALGREENS. GREENDOT RECEIVED $200.00 TO LOAD ON TO CARD.

FUNDS NEVER SHOWED UP AS BEING AVAILABLE. CONTACTED GREENDOT TO FIND OUT WHERE ARE THE FUNDS THAT WAS LOADED ONTO THIS CARD. THEY TOLD ME NO FUNDS WERE AVAILABLE. WENT TO WALGREENS TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENDED TO THESE FUNDS.

THEY ASSISTED US IN CONTACTING GREENDOT. GREENDOT SAID THAT THEY CAN'T DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION. LONG STORY SHORT GREENDOT TOLD WALGREENS THAT THE FUNDS WERE REMOVED FROM THIS ACCOUNT 8 MINUTES AFTER PURCHASE. WALGREENS AND GREENDOT HAVE A SCAM THAT WILL ARE STEALING MONEY FROM CUSTOMERS AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

UNFORTUNATELY OTHERS HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY GREENDOT. GREENDOT IS DIRECTING CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY THEM TO CONTACT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. CONTACTED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TWICE AND JUST AS I THOUGHT THEY WERE UNWILLING AND UNABLE TO ASSIST PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY THIS COMPANY. THE ONLY THING THAT I CAN DO IS MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF THIS SCAM AND THIS COMPANY WHO KNOW THAT THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH STEALING MONEY FROM THEIR NEW CUSTOMERS.

I WILL CONTACT EVERYONE POSSIBLE, SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS COMPANY THAT IS FREE FROM ANY LIABILITY OF THEIR MONEY MAKING SCAM.

I ALSO CONTACTED BBB, BUT THEY HAVE SENT OUT WARNINGS ON HOW TO AVOID BEING SCAMMED. GREENDOT MUST BE HELD LIABLE FOR CONTINUALLY SCAMMING THEIR CUSTOMERS.

happened to me and I got my money back did a police report called detective a called walgreens corporate office got my money back from walgreens manager who was told by greendot that I paid for a loan these people are Indians with accents that get your information from applying from payday loans on line and then say they are going to give you money but you have to pay the bank fees and they take your money and pay their credit cards and money pak wont give you the information because they are in on it too, this is a ring that people get caught up in and they hae your number before it is even scratched off they check the number to see if it has funds and they transfer it out before you get to use it. TRUST I GOT MY MONEY THROUGH INSURANCE CLAIM THROUGH WALGREENS. :grin

tis just happened to me so I see its pointless in sending in my information then :cry

Guest

That happen to me too :( :( :cry

you should not blame greendot moneypak its your responsibility to check if card was scratched before buying the card... moneypak are good as cash and responsible in providing the mp number to a company, person, or website..

you keep on saying that mp are scam but you still keep on purchasing the cards.. mp are not used for loan application or payments of bills or online transactions..

customers should first know how the product works before buying the card and not blaming greendot moneypak for the lost fund...

It is not my responsibility to make sure a card is not scratched off it is the stores responsibilty to make sure there is no defective merchandise or tampered product for sale. The money was taken off the card 3 minutes after I left the store and those who took the money were prosecuted and I did get my money from walgreens....

so I will never use the product again and this was my first expereince and the last. the fact that mp had the info of someone else whos credit card was paid with my money is what was funny to me and i was told by them to get a police report and when the police got involved it was a different story from everyone. so thanks for your comment but the info that mp provided to walgreeens was that it was used for a loan, what mp told police it was for someones credit card reload that didnt have my name. glad youhad a good experience with them.

I dont have to ever use them again. IM GOOD.
