      Status:
      Resolved
      I bought a $40 prepaid card from Netspend at the Dollar General. I attempted to activate the card but was told that I needed to submit documentation that proved who I was in my address. I sent them my drivers license my Social Security card and two statements one from a credit card at Usbank and the other from my savings account at USAA, they sent me one email that said my account was activated and ready to go and then 20 minutes later emailed me that they needed more information I still have been unable to secure my $40 because they keep telling me they need more information. I believe that they are just fleecing the public for their personal information using their credit cards as a prop. Please help me get my $40 back.

      I received an email on 2/20/24 welcoming me to me new Flare (debit) account associated with phone number (redacted). I emailed customer service that I did not open an account. I received a canned response and then another email about opting in to overdraft service for an account ending in (redacted), to which I received another canned email. A third and fourth emails, welcoming to my new account were received on 2/22/24 and 2/24/24. I called when I got another email about a debit card on its way to me. I spoke with ****** at customer service who was unable to find this account even when I shared the last four of my SSN. I have had similar issues from someone else sharing my first and last name and trying to use my personal email address in the recent past. It seems that the bank has no means for tracking the misuse of personal email addresses.
