fraud scam
As the fraud officer in a small bank in Co. I recently saw a check and letter regarding this Greendot scam. Counterfeit checks are now being issued on KeyBank Service Corp. The name of the contact at Greendot is now Katherine Hennessey, an independent grant broker wth Greendot. (yeah, sure) One of our cusotmers got caught in this scam and lost $898.

Don't use this card
This card is a MAJOR pain. There are so many unnecessary fees that come along with this card. I was aware of some fees, which were listed on the package the card comes in. However, many fees were not listed, and I didn't realize that until I read the "FAQ" on their website. I would NOT recommend this card to ANYONE, especially not a student.

mickeymouse company!!
Okay- so I received a "GreenDot" Visa card as a gift from my brother for my birthday- it was only for thirty dollars- but hey! It was 30.00. I registered as instructed- then went to use it and it says it is invalid- so I waited a few days thinking it would register by then- tried several more times to use it- and it said invalide4 every time! I called the company- and went to three different people before the last person told me I was out of luck...and 30.00 because I didn't have the original cardboard card that was orignially sent to me- I am so mad! This is mickey mouse and a crummy way to run a business. I will never even consider using this company for ANYTHING ever again and will tell all my friends, too! No resolution-just out 30.00!

Joke debit card
Got this temporary debit card for $35 as a gift. Tried to activate it to no avail through both the website and by phone.
After 3 days of the nonsense of phone calls to machines who apparently cannot understand the word J.A.M.E.S. or any other voice command in English. (Sorry, don't speak any other languages) have given up trying. What a major SCAM this is, why they have not been investigated by the authorities I do not know.

Load Charges
Before I bought Greendot gift card I was under the impression that I could reload it easily online and not have to pay 5 dollars fee to load it, nor the monthly fee
Hi: I am looking for a gift card for a family member which I can
1 Quickly load from a checking/banking/credit/paypal account
2 Cannot be overdrawn
3 Loading fees are at a minimum
4 No or little monthly charge
5 Useable at many ATMs at minimum fee.
6 Low or no interest rate
Do you have something like that?
Sincerely, jc

Money scam
Let me count the failures.
1) couldnt buy GreenDot with creditcard at cvs. Had to use cash $104.95
2) couldnt register card
3) card said everywhere where visa/mc accepted LIE.
4) had to purchase card to read agreement.
5) first attempt to get to agent and not computer took 35 minutes.
6) Agent in Philipines and barely spoke English.
7) Agent didn't know company address, telephone until I asked to speak to supervisor.
8) Agent still didn't transfer to supervisor
9) Agent said please hold 1-2 minutes. Took nearly 14 minutes.
10) told 7-10 days to get my money back?
11) 14 days later still no money.
12) Agent transfered me to line that says nobody is available. Time is 2pm on Thursday. Call disconnects.
13) Supervisor says I have to wait for other department be back in Monday.
14) Now 18 days since requested refund. Supervisor discovers that address is incorrect. The dept that is never opened is not in right now. Supervisor promises a call back next day.
15) No call back.
16) Day 20. Supervisor is on her "rest day". No other supervisors in office.
17) Current useless turd on phone calls me by wrong name 10 times giving me generic excuses that everything is being settled
18) Turd doesnt know what the issue is.
20) Turd says they remember me calling yesterday. (I didn't)
21) Turd says supervisor will leave message to call me back. Tired of dealing with Turd.
22) Thank god. Turd didn't call but no call from supervisor either.
23) Find corporate phone number. Transfer to answering machine.
24) Day 28. Call corporate again get press correspondant. Get transfered to customer service in Guatemala. More turdiness.
25) Day 29. Call corporate again. Ask for COO. Get secretary she transfers me to that useless answering machine again.
26) Day 30. Still no money.

fraudulent check
I received a check from US Bank but issued from the Greendot Grant Program. It was in the amount of $957.71 and I was informed that I had been selected to receive a $10, 000 grant and that after I gave Linda Spaulding her check for $403.00 for her commission for finding me this grant that I would receive the second check with the rest of the money ($9, 042.29). I immediately googled the Greendot grant program and this is what I found. So we called Moneygram which is who the check is done by and the lady informed us that they stopped making checks for US Bank over a year ago. So this is definitely a scam. Please beware. Trust me I was tempted but had to do the research first. The money would have been wonderful, to be able to pay off bills and be able to get the larger car we need since we are expecting our third child and our other two children are still in car seats. I hope this helps someone.
