    Today I received a debit card in the mail from Card.com by pathward that I did not apply for. Attached is an image of the letter and card. This is a case of identity theft and I am requesting that the account be closed immediately. The routing number is ********* and the account number is ************. I attempted to speak with a human representative but it seems impossible as the phone number given is an automated call that requires my full social security number which I do not feel comfortable disclosing. I have also submitted a report through the ************************************. Please close the account as soon as possible and contact me if you need any additional information. Thank you.

    On August 27, 2024, we received a request to open the Account.  We verified the ** information that we were provided using a third-party service.  The account was opened with the identification information provided. Based on the complaint and positive confirmation that Mr. ***** did not apply for the CARD ************ Account, we have permanently closed the Account due to identity theft. There have been no deposits or card transactions in the Account. A closure confirmation was sent to the email address given on his complaint. To obtain any records associated with the Account, we would require documentation to verify Mr. ***** identity.Successful identity verification requires an unexpired government-issued photo ** and a police report that includes Mr. ***** true address. If a police report is not available, Mr. ***** can provide a copy of his unexpired government-issued photo **, an ** theft report which can be obtained from the ************************ at *********************. The documentation can be sent to our secure document center by fax at ************** or by email at ******************* We trust the information provided satisfies the inquiry and demonstrates that CARD thoroughly investigated Mr. ***** complaint.

    I was staying at a hotel and used my card.com debit card. The hotel took out for the room plus a $50 incidental. I noticed that on my card it Authorized for $187.46. When I asked Hotel they said no they only authorize it for $156.22, So I called my bank and they said that they charge an extra traditional 20% on top of what the Hotel charges. Since when can my debit card charge and act on behalf of the hotel and take out extra funding on top of what Hotel took out when I did not authorize them to take out additional funding. That is not the credit card or the debit cards business. Theyre only allowed to take out what The merchant is authorizing to take out. Thats giving the credit card company permission to take out however, much funds. They want to take out on behalf of any merchant that should not be legal and is not right. Theyre only allowed to take out what the merchant authorizes.

    We received two calls from ******************** on August 22, 2024, regarding the transaction in question. In both calls we explained the pre-authorization process to ******************** and advised her that the tolerance pad should expire once the transaction settled as outlined in the Cardholder Agreement under Section 5G- Authorization Holds. The $187.46 pre-authorization expired back to ******************** account on August 23, 2024, and she was able to access her funds the same day.

    August 1, 2024 My checking account was hacked through my debit card the company that hacked it was cashapp, and the person was *************************. Beginning on April 9, 2024, they stole an amount of approximately $1,700 through multiple transactions. I called Cashapp and they referred me to my bank. My bank is ********************** and they go by card.com. My complaint is with the bank. I have sent a slew of emails to different customer service departments trying to move my review forward, email was confirmed received. I sent a personal letter, their Complaint Form and copies of my bank statement with the deductions. After at least 6 calls, the bank tells me that my investigation is complete unless I can send additional documents. NO additional documents exist. They refuse to re-evaluate my account for fraudulent activity. I did not use cashapp and I do not know the person that's on my statement. This is clearly a fraudulent case and ******** refuses to work with me any further, they said their decision stands. For your information I am 66 years old and I'm on security with a monthly income of $1,400. This particular person stole approximately $1700 from me. It is extremely urgent that I receive a refund for something I don't know anything about. I spoke to a supervisor at ******** today and she said the investigation is complete and they stand behind what they say. Which is no further investigations and no refunds to me from a theft.

    I am rejecting this response because:
    The transactions were not mine, I believe my debit card was hacked. Per card.com I deactivated the card and sent their dispute form along with a copy of my statement showing the withdrawals. The bank insisted that I send additional documents to support the dispute, NO OTHER DOCUMENTS EXIST. I would like to have a new investigation of which cashapp an confirm the withdrawals then have my funds returned. I have no knowledge of the transactions. The amount to me is over $1700. Card.com is asking for the impossible and refuses to go any further. Their requirements are completely unreasonable. Documentation was confirmed received from the bank.

    I do not accept there response because this is completely unfair. I didn't make any of these charges. I should be protected against this kind of fraudulent activity. I've never had any issue with card.com before and for them to try and say no error occurred is completely wrong. I am going to file police reports against card.com today and I'm going to take every action I can against them for stealing my money. I've read already many bad reviews against them and I will help make bad reviews against them to warn people of the danger there is making accounts with **********************. this is completely unfair they never even messaged me about the denial all they do is lie. I'm going to go against them in anyway possible through the law to take them down. I'm going to my lawyer tomorrow so they can expect to here from the lawyer to. I should be able to be covered by the **** regulations to be compensated for my loss. They are a fraudulent business and completely fraud. They stole my hard earned money now I can't pay my bills and they did nothing to figure any of this out. I should of been able to trust them with my money and I will make sure to make as many people as I can aware of the risk of making accounts with them

But I am going to make all the complaints and bad reviews that I can to warn people about card.com that's all I can do is just try and help other people from making the mistake about trusting them.

    I have Pathward banking and on July 5th 4 different transactions were made one right after another. One for $340, two for $141 and one for $340 dollars. It says **** ***** 1 as the place of business who completed the transaction but my card company said I could not dispute the fraudulent transactions before 30 calendar days and that they could not find out what state, city or store the transaction was made in. I had just received my direct deposit from work and my whole check was wiped out in minutes. I cant wait 30 days to get refunded as Im a single mother with no other income. I think this is horrible service as the customer should be protected in the meantime. Pathward banking should be able to refund me my money until they receive the money back from whom ever scammed my account. Please let me know if there are any further steps I can take into getting my money back quickly as I need it to pay my bills. I dont feel safe using this company anymore as I am not protected against fraud and scams.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
