I was asked to do a netspend reload pack at walgreens to prove I had a loan payment. After further investigating this netspend reload pack card on the internet many people were saying it was a scam and they had money taken from their account and their information was stolen. I did not do this
To whom this may concern:
On Friday Dec,2012 I received a call from a Raymond which left a message as well asking that I call & after calling back speaking with Raymond he ask that I purchase a Net Spend card spending. I will have this investigating with Better Business Bureau.
I have been getting the same call for about 2 weeks now. I finally called back and was told someone would call me right back. When they did they told me it was for a loan that I was already approved for $2,000 to $5,000 and they had all my information from the last 4 of my SS# and my bank account information. They then asked me to go to Walgreens to show that I had $200 in my bank account since they are not allowed to verify with my bank. I told them no I wasn't doing that and they then said do I have $100 I can go with. At that point I hung up and just said no. Not sure if they are real or not. Don't no anyone who actually went through with it. If anybody had I am curious to know what happened.
This is a scam. You put $200 on prepaid card. You give them the card number so they can add the loan to it but they will STEAL your $200 instead of adding the loan to it. They get your $200, you get nothing. The BBB warns about Green Dot Moneypak scammers but they can in principle use any type of prepaid card http://newjersey.bbb.org/article/bbb-scammers ... al-online-18419
