    i activated a card with 20 dollars, when i got home and checked the balance there was only 15 dollars on it, nowhere on the orginal package did it say anything about 1% cash back and a 5 dollar anual fee, this was not divulged until today when i activated the actual card sent to me in the mail, nor did they give me the 10 dollars promised for activating the card, i am seeking the 15 dollars owed to me for lies and false advertisement . note because of the company not divulging this information on the original card, when i went to buy supper for my 6 year old son, there was not enough money to even buy 7 dollars worth of sandwich meats, shame on them. it quite literly says on the package, no monthly fees and free direct deposit

    On September 6th, 2022 I went to cash a check to my Venmo account which uses Ingo like I have done every week for months. These are printed checks from an insurance company. I took the photos of the check and submitted them. It came back approved, I opted to receive in minutes and accepted the fee to do so. I was then instructed to write VOID across my check like normal and upload that photo as the final step. Upon doing so, I received a notification that funds could not be added to my PayPal account (I was in the Venmo app adding them to my Venmo, not PayPal, even though they own Venmo) and to see history details for information. There are no history details to be found. I contacted ***** and they said this is an Ingo problem. I have no way to contact **** and no way to resolve the issue and am left with a voided check that is now worthless.

    About 3 years ago, I was trying to sell a spare GPU on ********** *******, ************ and I was contacted by a buyer, at that time I didn't know anything about this, but buyer offered to buy my Radeon RX 580 and sent out a cashier check that later I learned was a fraudulent check. How? It was over **** dollars check sent to me and buyer told me the authorized amount was 125 so I tried to deposit 125 from the check and after 4th or 5th time my account was locked, but I thought it was a temporary lock down and will be ok the next day But I was wrong, lock on my account remained and I searched online from answers and stumbled upon redits and other online results informing people about scammers using cashier checks I tried to talk to IngoMoney multiple times and they would not investigate, they would not reason with me or talk to me about unlocking my account due to this mistake, I provided them at the time all the information regarding the issue (sadly I don't have any information much available now) but they refused to help me with the issue and now for years my account was locked and when I get check sometimes from my employers, I cannot deposit money directly and am forced to go and cash those check with another establishment and pay fees to get my money. IngoMoney just writes you off instantly just so they won't have to deal with any problems. Even today my IngoMoney account remains locked and still they refuse to investigate For the record: I tried to deposit that check through AMEX Server app at the time

    Hi, I purchased a spendwell **** card from the dollar general. I thought I was buying a no fee card as advertised on the kiosk, but they had no fee cards and cards with monthly fees all on the same rack. I registered the card as advertised and the next day they subtracted a $5 fee. That is when I realized there were 2 different cards. I can't log in to see my account information even though they collected my SSN and other sensitive data and denied 'account access' without a reason as to why. If I was approved, I am supposed to get a $10 bonus. With an excellent salary and very high credit score this all seems odd. Then I got to make my first online purchase and the purchase gets denied. When I call customer service says it is because it wasn't an online grocery purchase? So, I have a card that is essentially useless. They took a $5 fee and for this I am supposed to earn 1% back but since they mysteriously denied my account. I don't get the rebate on purchased, $10 for opening the account and can't use this card for anything. I have never had an account even on rebate cards where I can't access something to see my transactions, but they are telling me I cannot and only deny what I try to purchase and took my money at the same time. Please help. https://www.myspendwell.com/ You can't take $5 for an account that doesn't exist because it was denied without explanation and none of the advertised promotions are provided. Furthermore, I had been told by the escalation department they were going to refund the $5 to keep checking my balance. After waiting and calling back for management including ***** emp ****** she states that request was never made, and she can't help. Acct ends in ****.
