I called a seller from an ad on Craigslist for Dave Matthews tickets at Cruzan Amphitheatre. He offered tickets for $150, I responded with $100, and he agreed. Then he asked me to use the Green Dot MoneyPak as an option to pay for the tickets. I said, "Do you accept PayPal?" He said to use MoneyPak, so of course I called Green Dot MoneyPak and got a customer service person who could barely speak English (REF# Fp844580). She basically told me, "Sorry, you got scammed." I asked, "So you will protect me, because PayPal protects against fraud?" She said, "Oh, we are not PayPal." I said it is right on the front of your card, PayPal and eBay. She said, "We put that there so you feel safe?" She said to call the police, sorry. How can this fraud go on and be accepted? Refund my money, and put the scammer behind bars.
They use the PayPal logo and give a false sense of security on the front of their cards. Users think they are safe, but it is a scam and fraud. It is false advertising. On top of it, they know who the scammer is, and yet they do nothing and allow him to take the money and walk away free with the scammed money. This is the new scam: people are defrauded by sending Green Dot cards, with no worry of getting caught, because Green Dot does nothing.
I was defrauded through Green Dot MoneyPak. I bought a card to pay for an item and never got my item. I called Green Dot, and they said, "Sorry, you got scammed."
