Warning about green dot if you live in USA
I want to warn everyone about a problem I experienced in July of 11.If you have multiple Green Dot accounts which is an easy way of useing a #$## name on an account you may get all of your accounts closed.
I had about 6 or 7 accounts going at once,one day I go to change the address online for the card to do an amazon account and lo and behold it was locked up.I soon discovered all of my accounts were locked and had to call them.THey did unlock the funds which was around the 3 grand ballpark area between them.
The service representative told me that my accounts would be closed due to abusing greendot and that I was useing greendot for business purposes.I had to press them to get this information the girl was really nice and probably a college student,but she said it was their policy,so they closed the $#$#$# accounts and told me I was banned from greendot.
this has been a real headache for me,as greendot was an easy way to create an account with paypal bank verification.If you have multiple accounts be careful how many or you may be fired from greendot bank like I was.Dont know if this has ever happened to anyone else out there in the world,but just be careful.I have not found a card to replace greendots with that will pass paypal verification.The cards need to have a name and address on them and alot of the gift cards are getting harder to use.The vanilla visas with no name and the virtual cards such as Entropay do not work anymore in the USA,or at least they did not work for me as of July 31,2011
