Neighbor was just here discussing this. He said he got info that it is a SCAM.
DO NOT USE IT.
The Fed gov’mt is sending out our stimulus $$$ direct deposit before——WHY would they change that????
Who issued it?
What bank is it drawn on??
How much is on the card?
IF you try to use it, they can capture your bank account information & clean you out.
Monday is a holiday-—so that scam can gt a head start on your financial activities...
Then further down the page under Fee-Based Services and Transactions it reads, "ACH Transfer to Domestic Bank ...$2,5000 per transaction/$2,500 per day/$5,000 per month.
Again, what the hell?
If you don’t get direct deposit you might get a debit card.
Take a look at the IRS page. They tell you what to expect.
Don’t rely on what some internet poster tells you.
If they sent it with a pin, go to the nearest ATM and empty the card. Not through YOUR bank, but any ATM. Pay the fee, get your cash and run.
If you read the info about the payments at irs.gov, I believe it does say they are sending out debit cards in some situations, so not a scam.
“they can capture your bank account information & clean you out.”
Little bit hysterical today, RTM?
I got mine today (which is weird because we didn’t get the first ones). It says
How to access your money:
1. Transfer to a Personal Bank Account
2. Cash withdrawal at a bank branch
3. Make purchases in-store, online or by phone
4. Get cash at surcharge-free ATMs
It would be impossible for them to tap your bank account using #2 to #4.
