In order to enjoy the benefits of using the card, the recipient would first need to activate the card, load money onto the card, and validate his or her identity. Like many financial institutions, NetSpend occasionally sends out marketing offers to potential customers who have had previous business with one of our many partners in the financial services industry. I want to hear if anyone else has had this happened? I will advise everyone who has this happened to call immediately to close out the account and complain to appropriate people. If I find out what financial service did this I will be contacting the FTC and BBB over this. I don’t know if Netspend had my SSN but I didn’t activate the card so I don’t know but I am very concerned by the way Netspend did not keep logs on who and when something like this was done.
I think this was unethical by both Netspend and the Financial service, due to the fact that I didn’t give the financial services permission to give out my information. All these are concerning, I told them to close out the account and I will be watching my credit for the next 6 months. Some of the more important topics were, Netspend Is A Fraud! and Unethical Pirates! I found some really concerning complaints from people around the US. I did a Google search for others who had this happened and I see a bunch of people complaining about the same thing.
