Do Not Get a Green Dot Card -- You Risk Both Information and Monetary Theft - Wahlgreen's Complicit

[jordan179]

I attempted to get a Green Dot Card.  Wahlgreen's took $1.95 from me.  I then tried to initialize the card.  Green Dot claimed that my name and social security information was unverifiable, even though it is recorded by the State of California and the Social Security Administration.  Green Dot then said that they would not send a permanent card,

Yikes. I never heard of Green Dot but it seems like a company to run, not walk away from.

Never heard of this before. Will take advice and avoid.

If you need a reloadable debit card, use one from a Kroger affiliate. I guarantee they are safe. Green Dot is terrible.

What's worse is that with an unverified name and social security number you could end up on a national security list.
