I received a letter in my mailbox from netSpend out of XXXX, Texas it is a Prepaid MasterCard that you can load your full or percentage of your paycheck to. This company even provides you with a Routing number XXXX and an account number XXXX through XXXX, ( this is not my information it is theirs ) I believe they are in XXXX XXXX, South Dakota. The thing about this prepaid card is in order to set it up you have to enter the XXXX digit card number and then the # key. Then they ask you for your SOCIAL SECURITY NO. and DOB. You can not speak to anyone at this company until you do those following steps. What makes this situation weird is I am unemployed and as random as this card is there are over XXXX complaints on line from people who have given this information on line and have lost their paychecks and have bills that are past due. 
I actually put in a fake SS no and a fake DOB to see what would happen and I was able to give the card a XXXX digit pin. What makes this bad is after I spoke with this company over the phone I got an email where someone had changed the pin number. This company is in the business of scamming people out of their paychecks by making them use their financial institution to deposit their money. Many people are not aware that this tactic is illegal. The mention on the letter that they do not accept printed checks, they do not accept deposits via wire transfers, if you do they will return the check to you or destroy it. Only the person on the card can make the direct deposit. The note directly under the card says " I indicated that I had an interest in the card and that is why they sent it to me ''. I have never heard of this company nor did I intentionally or unintentionally ask for this card- so that is a lie. Once a customer signs up for this card giving them their social security number the company now has access to your credit and all of your other banking and credit reports. They take money from your account, add stop payments to other bills to other companies and put stop payments out on you.
