Type of a scam Identity Theft

Person said to be netspend and called from netspend number telling me my last charge on the account and if I did it. After answering and giving him access to my account like any other call to netspend, they got my phone provider on the other line somehow, ported out my phone number to their phone, hacked all my social media, closed my debit card and issued another one, then two wire transfers from my account taking over half my tax refund check. I am left with no social media at all, no phone line, and no money, and a fear they have all my info and kids information. I honestly think it’s someone at netspend that did it. It all is based out of Texas, even the scammer logging into all my accounts.

Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

I "bought" a Netspend prepaid card to send to my brother who's homeless. I tried to activate it but have had problems. After waiting 1 hour 38 minutes, I was subjected to rude and interruptive agent, all the whole hearing in her background what sounded like a restaurant kitchen with women yelling. She essentially hung up on my when she said she couldn't help me any longer. I told her I insisted on more than 7 minutes of "customer service" time especially when I waited 1 hour 38 minutes to talk to a live person. I cannot retrieve the $500 I put on the card at purchase. I am a senior citizen, a Luddite, and need help with this unscrupulous company. MetaBank refuses to handle customer service for Netspend, just refers a caller ot Netspend's phone number.

Type of a scam Online Purchase

My daughter received a $20 gift card for her birthday. When we tried to redeem we were directed to call netspend and told the card had "expired." After arguing how hard earned paid money could expire, they agreed to process a refund minus a processing fee. Imagine if your bank told you that your deposited money had expired. I suspect most people don't argue $20 but that policy is infuriating to me.

In this day and age where there are so many legitimate ways to make an honest dollar, netspend tries to steal money intended for a child's gift.

I hope there's a good lawyer out there that files a class action.

Found a card that I received last Christmas. Called to activate it and was told that there was a balance of $8 out of $50. They have a $5.95 maintenance fee per month!!! Someone spent $50 to give this to me for NetSpend to keep the money!! WOW! I thought that it was made illegal to have maintenance fees or to have expiration dates on gift cards.

Netspend offers a free program through TurboTax who is their 'Partner in Crime'. They offer an easy way of getting your tax return by recieving a prepaid card and having the card loaded via direct deposit when the refund arrives. Sounds easy right? Wrong. There is a rigorous activation system you must go through in order to even receive your card. Netspend employees lied, told me that my card was being 'Expedited' when it was never on its was, then I was told by a man who spoke very little english to verify myself by sending pictures of personal documents. (Note* that they are partnered with TurboTax and should not need the information I just sent them.) Not only is this unprofessional, but it sounds like Identity Thef. Why would I need to send personal documents to people who I do not know? Why do all of their employees sound like they're in India with google translate on the ready? This is very, very shady business & I would not reccomend Netspend, nor TurboTax. Since it seems their only service is taking money from real, struggling people.

Type of a scam Identity Theft

I honestly do not know if this is a legitimate scam or not, but I have never been asked to take pictures of my private documentation, and send it to a card company or any other business for verification. I received this netspend card in the mail, and was going to simply activate it as I had done in the past with no problems. today I gave them all of my private info, along with my ss# etc.., then after I was told my card was now activated I was directed to another person that went on to tell me that I wasn't activated until I took pictures of my private documentation and sent it to them. just confused and worried about getting my Identity stolen this way! I just wanted some feedback from you so I can relax, and just know that this is a new policy of theirs or what?

Thank you for you time...
