I bought 6 $500 MoneyPaks last week to load to PayPal. But when I went home to load them to PayPal, the balances on all of them said $0.

I called MoneyPak and they told me to fax all my receipts and card numbers and they would get back to me in 2-3 days. So I did and I waited. A few days later I got a call saying that I purchased a "good or service" and I never received it, and MoneyPak can't cover me. I told them that is straight bs and I didn't try to purchase anything, but they said they linked the money going into 4 different accounts, and these accounts had previous problems of scamming people so they couldn't do anything about it and they had "evidence" that I purchased something and never received it.

I was furious, as this is completely untrue, and I feel like they are just doing this to keep my money. I am a college student, and 3k is a lot of money to ANYONE!

What should I do? I want every penny back, MoneyPak is the biggest scam of all-time, should I call my local police department or something?

Monetary Loss: $3000.

Location: Newark, New Jersey

Same thing happened to me. MoneyPak said I gave the pin number to someone which is a complete lie.

I believe MoneyPak is taking the money.

I created a police report and they would not even investigate it.

Guest

What number did you call because I'm experiencing the same thing and no numbers work

Guest

Its not MoneyPaks fault though, its you for falling into a scam and it happens to anyone with cash, cards or Identities. I fell for a scam, and Vonage was the culprit. Yeah, even big companies try to scam you.

I agree on that.

Yeah it sucks that now Paypal and moneypak is pulled out from stores.

It used to get me out of a pinch when I needed to make an immediate payment. Now that I need to make one I can't. Got a new card but it says technical difficulties and I have to wait who knows how long plus take more time to put all my info into it which sucks. Money pak is roughly 20-30 minutes wait.

I'm surprised their numbers can't be traced for some reason?

I thought it would be the same as tracing regular card numbers. They should add tracing and company lock(or one such as Owner email verification only in red letters) and bam fixed most of the problem.

Btw, moneypak advices you to BEWARE of scammers out there!

Same thing with me I put all my money into one for my bills like I do every month and now I can't put into my card and nobody will help me out or help in any way

Guest

OK! THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS TYPE OF WEBSITES AND COMPANY'S IS THROUGH CONSUMERS AFFAIR,KEEP YOUR RECEIPT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE ITS GOING TO BE THE ONLY WAY THAT THEY WILL BE FORCE TO RETURN YOUR MONEY;JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A CARD AT WALMART AND I REQUEST FOR A REFUND SINCE I END UP NOT NEEDING THE CARD AND FOR SOME REASON I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A CHECK IN THE MAIL AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S NO CUSTOMER SERVICE TO CHAT WITH OR CALL BUT HEY MY RECEIPT IS MY PROF THAT I PUT THE MONEY IN THE CARD AND AS CUSTOMERS WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST FOR OUR MONEY BACK.

thank you

Guest

Useless customer service bad attitude worst *** ever im going to study law to be a lawyer and take you all out of business for being a scam useless piece of *** and they call this a business? People this "company" wants you alls social to get waved on the country taxes and charge them on us while they win clean straight cash without them paying taxes at all of any transaction what a shame

Guest

Green Dot is a terrible scam, and their cards are pointless. Banks are the way to go, and they are safe.

They also stop your card if someone tries to scam you, AND they don't charge you for the money. Does Green Dot do this? NO WAY. Thank you to all the honest banks.

I feel for you bro, scams are no joke.

Keep your head up and study hard. That will certainly pay off.

Guest

tell me about it, moneypack did the same to me held my funds and never saw them again. 750 bucks i lost and they cant give me an answer as to where my money is.

moneypack sucks!!! :(

Guest

sames story.... bought money pack and tried using it didnt work waited for three days and nothing i ended up calling the company and they gave me a refund.

kinda skeptical about them asking for so much information like adress and even ss number.... had no problems getting my money back but then again i could have avoided all the hustle by simply not buyin it.

What is the number to the company please

I bought a moneypak card at walgreen. Came home tried to load it to my paypal account through moneypak website and even through pay pal it would never load.

Next I called the company recording said a 20min wait time after holding for 1 hour I hung up and tried by computer again. I just put $200.00 of my last money on this card. This is a scam seems like they have people to pay for the card money goes to them and you are out of the money. They say on their site if you want a refund it take 7-10 days.

Get the picture they are worser then a loan shark. They are still our money through store location we trust. The stores need to stop selling these cards it is helping Moneypak - GREEN DOT to SCAM people it hurts. I bought the green dot master card for $200.00 a week before to use with linking to paypal and Green Dot refuse to release the funds that I pre-paid for.

On that call I was told because the company was not one they approve.

But, if I get the moneypak then it could be loaded directly with paypal. So, I am actually screwed from them.
