GreenDot Visa Beleive it or not - bought a 50.00 card w/ATM card from BOA - they released info so that Greendot could hijack my monthly disability check! Internet

a lot of people claim stuff but have no proof. Then they lose their credibility by saying people who post that don't agree with them work for the company. And I see posts like yours that have nothing to do with what was posted. I pointed out that Green Dot (like any other financial institution/pre paid card/whatever) can not and will not change a direct deposit unless the account holder somehow authorizes it. If just one person proved that Green Dot changed a direct deposit without authorization, the feds would close the company completely. Now, the person may not have read or may not have understood what they approved, but I guarantee that they approved.

I also asked why this OP didn't just get a debit card from BOA. Neither of those things are in any way close to what you put in your post.

Yes green dot takes and keeps money as stated on the many numerous reports here and on the net.
That is why the must advertise to get new suckers to replace the ones that leave. Evidently you never read the many greed dot complaints here on ROR.

Type in "Green Dot" on the ROR searcg and see what pops up

Green dot wouldn't/couldn't change your direct deposit without something from you to authorize it. But more importantly, why get a Green Dot card in the first place? Why not get a debit card from BOA that you can use to make your online purchases? Something more going on with this story than we've been told so far.

Yes it is a scam

I hate Green Dot - Never use them
