I am one of the many who purchased a green dot moneypak card and found out that there is some way someone else can get the number and empty it out before you can use it.  As with all the others, I found moneypak people to be obstructive and totally unhelpful.  Every time I called they had something else I was supposed to do and some other reason for delay.  This is a $500 lesson on why to use one of the other methods of doing this like western union.  As near as I can figure out, this whole moneypak system is a huge scam.  It seems to be connected with paypal some way, so I will quit using that also.

Like cash?

AUTHOR: music_city - ()

POSTED: Thursday, April 17, 2014

I am in a similar situation and have been trying to reach a resolution with Green Dot Corporation for 5 weeks. I have a very simple statement to make. The instructions to "treat your moneypak like cash" are laughable to say the least. People can't steal your cash simply by looking at a receipt that states the amount of cash you have. Why don't you inform consumers of your product that their funds can be drained from the Moneypaks with a receipt? You inform consumers that they should keep their Moneypak safe and treat it like cash, in other words, don't lose it. You inform consumers that Green Dot Corporation is not liable for non delivery of goods. You inform consumers to beware of scammers and not to give out their pin numbers. Why don't you inform consumers that their funds, which are placed in your care, for a fee, can be transferred with a simple receipt and that the physical Moneypak is completely unnecessary. It is common knowledge to scammers, yet you don't protect your customers by providing that information to them.
