AI Highlights
  • - The staff were unhelpful and would not cancel or stop a transaction.
  • - The reviewer says money was stolen and they were left in the car with kids.
  • - It is claimed illegal transactions were allowed to go through and the staff sided with criminals.

They don't care. They let people steal your money and are VERY mean when you are robbed or experiencing a trauma.

It was all we had they blatantly stole all our money and left us sleeping in the car with kids. While smiling and telling the card rep they would not give a us a room and will not cancel the transaction.

We tried to stop payment. They refused.

They WILL let ILLEGAL transactions go through and will NOT let you stop them and will side with the criminals.

On 6/3-2026 I bought two green dot...

AI Highlights
  • - -Two unused MoneyPak cards from Walgreens have unreadable numbers.
  • - -Photos were sent; a rep called but no follow-up; please contact to resolve $560.

On 6/3-2026 I bought two green dot moneypak cards from Wallgreens. They have never been used.

One is for 300 and the other one is for 260. When I went to scratch off the numbers, the numbers disenerated and were not readable. I reached out and you wanted me to send you a photo of the cards & the Walgreens reciept. I did that and someone for your company called me on the phone (I think her name was Michelle.

She wanted an aditional more detailed photo of a reciept from walgreens, which I also sent. I have heard nothing back from anyone. I have called and Green dot wants a 14 digit card number> I have never been able to figure out where this number on the card even is. So, can someone email me or call me to get this matter setteled.

My only income is SSI and I cannot afford $560.00.

Thank you. Wayne Kuffel 612-521-**** wkuff1616@***.com

Second Withdrawal $101.50 Time 12:46:34pm pacific time total amount was $400.00 I *** was shopping at *** Sale on June 13th 2026 around 1:50pm in *** when I saw a email from rapid stating that there was $301.50 withdrawn at 12:45pm and another withdrawal of $101.50 at 12:46pm. At first I was confused because I do withdrawal money like that out of know where but what caught my attention was the location of the money it was being taken out.

Which was ***. I dont live in *** so I knew some had gotten my Rapid Card information to withdrawal $400.00. I immediately call the customer service number because I was upset this could happen to me. I had this card with Rapid for a year or two and I never had a problem like this.

I really like this company because they dont beat around the *** like other cardholder do. So I was so mad that I went to the location where the money was taken out from the ATM at CVS in *** and I ask the employee if she could help me get video or a picture of the person who used the ATM around 12:45pm to 12:46pm on June 13th because I didnt want to lose my claim and time are hard right now. I worked hard for my money for someone like a SKIMMER to just come and take it. The CVS employee gave me the picture of the person who use the ATM and took my money.

The CVS employee also told me that this lady who took my money was at the ATM for 8 minutes after she was done taking my money. I have a picture of her, I also made a police report online to the Huntington police department. They didnt give me a reference number but once I do get that information I will send it to the email that was given to me by the call representative. I will send the picture of the women who took my money and I hope I'm able to move on from this.

It's a real nightmare and I hope they catch this thieve. Thank you for your time and I hope this gets resolved as soon as possible. I've been trying to email his letter to *** and I keep on getting an error message.

please help me! Sincerely ***

Unauthorized charges listed on Walmart Money Card

AI Highlights
  • - Unable to reach Green Dot regarding unauthorized charges on Walmart Money Card.
  • - Recommend avoiding Green Dot issued Walmart Money Cards.
Green Dot Corporation - Unauthorized charges listed on Walmart Money Card

I attempted to contact Green Dot concerning unauthorized charges to my Walmart Money Card and was unable to speak with anyone employed with Green Dot. It is stressfully disturbing that Green Dot has no desire or interest in keeping their customers accounts safe and see to our satisfaction.

Avoid using Green Dot issued Walmart Money Cards. Green Dot Bank will take great measures to keep customers from contacting them concerning any conflicting issues.

User's recommendation: Do not bother contacting Green Dot Bank concerning issues. Contact the number on the back of your Walmart Money Card, they will make certain any and all issues are dealt with and resolved.

Unable to use my card. I have 475.00 on it.

I bought the wrong card but can't access my money. I need it asap. Please call me. It won't let me register it, set a pin to it, or anything.

Took 125.95 $$$ from me

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I got a greendot prepaid card and never got to activate it. When I finally got around to doing so, it was in someone else's name.

The funds are still there, but they have deactivated the card with no refund.

Now I'm out $125.95. I think they could have at least given me something, so I just took a heck of a loss.
