Netspend is a scam
i picked up a NETSPEND card in the gift card area of my grocery store. i can't use the card!
there was a sticker on it, which would not be seen on the package, saying i have to activate the card. i started the activation process until they asked for my SSN. I got their phone number through my receipt and called them. they had to take my name and address and then again wanted my SSN!
I asked why i even needed to give my name and address when i already paid for the card. they couldn't give me a straight answer other than for security. they need my name for my account. i told them i don't want an account.
i just wanted to have a separate card for a trip i was going on. after going around in circles with the "customer service" person, they told me my card was activated and i could use it. still can't use it. i've seen other reviews on this card company and really think they should be turned into the BBB and maybe even a class action suit brought against them.
something is very fishy about this company.
do not give this as a gift card!!
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
