VISA NetSpend My Sister bought me this Netspend Visa debit card for my birthday, which she bought at Walmart.

Simple Buy online pay bills or get cash at ATM'S, well not so.  I would stay away from NetSpend, I did some research and there is a lot of reports of scams from them. Austin, Texas Nationwide

My Sister bought me this Netspend Visa debit card for my birthday, which she bought at Walmart.  She said the only reason why she bought this card was because the box said Clear No credit check No hidden fees No surprises easy to use good everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted.  Simple Buy online pay bills or get cash at ATM'S, well not so.  On Friday, at 6:00 p.m., I tried to activate the card online, just like the instructions, and card couldn’t get activated, message was please call number 1-866-387-7363.  The weird part about the website was it asked for your full social security number, which I provided, but the more I thought about it, I never had to provide my full social security number in the past, just the last four digits of my SSN and I have a lot of major credit cards.  When I called the number, it said lanes are full please call back later.  I called on Saturday and the message said call back on business days.  Finally I called on Monday, talked to this Indian lady, which I couldn’t understand, she said I needed to send a copy of my social security number along with a copy of my driver’s license, I told her there is no way I would do that.  She said I could only then use it for online purchases.  Went to Amazon, tried to make a purchase, declined.  Called them back and a man from India answered, same thing could not understand him, he told me that the last person I talked to did not add me to the system.  Therefore, he added me to the system, but I could only use it for in store purchases.  Next day, tried it and it was declined.  So fed-up that I said screw it.  I would stay away from NetSpend, I did some research and there is a lot of reports of scams from them.
