I've gotten several of these calls and I try to ignore them. I asked them not to call me anymore, but they didn't listen.
You people are goofy. It is Direct Express account calling people who have Social Security or some sort of a Government check that money will be in their account on the first of every month. Stupid paranoid people imagine all kinds of crazy things. And then start running their heads about something that they have no idea what the truth is........shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh get a life....
Actually Direct Express is a real company. Direct Express allows your social security beneits to be automatically deposited into your prepaid mastercard debit card account & the funds are available to you on the payment date.
They are a type scam under SS. My son-in-law was to get his first disability check direct deposited into his personal bank account AFTER giving SS his bank account info and these fools told SS that my son-in-law told them to have the check sent to them. Wrong! Then this company wanted to take money out of his check for fees until he told them he did not authorize any such crap that they were trying to give him. He does not have or even get on a computer but yet they tried to say he ordered it online. Again NOT! This is a deal between the crooked Government we have and this company, (Whom by the way isn't American owned)to save the Government money. They could care less if this company takes your money. They think they have done you a favor by giving you a credit card so you can get your money faster not to mention this company is charging you to get Your money. This is a peoples choice not the governments choice as to how the recipient gets their funds. There is a lawyer involved in my son-in-laws case against this company. If you want to pay fees to get your check faster that's fine. but this company should not try to force a person or Take their check with out their consent and they shouldn't lie about how they got the ok when they didn't to the people OR the government.
No, this company is NOT a hoax. It is Comerica Bank, and Direct Express is the card the US Government (specifically the US Treasury and the Social Security Administration) has chosen to contract with to provide certain benefits recipients their monthly benefits. I know this for a fact, because I am on SSI, and I've gotten my monthly SSI benefits Direct Deposited to this card for several years now. Government Benefits is ALL this card deals with, so if you got a call from them, chances are, it was in regards to your benefits being dispersed.
@ Bigtracks: I remember several years ago getting notification that Social Security would begin phasing all recipients to the Direct Express debit card over the next few years. Its most likely that the Social Security Administration DID tell your son in law this, and he simply didn't understand that his benefits would be going to the Direct Express card, and that it usually takes 45-60 days for a persons banking information to be verified, etc. I know this because that's exactly what SS did to me 3 years ago when they "phased" me into the card program, along with everyone else in my area who no longer chose to get a paper check. The first ATM withdrawal is always free on this card, though most ATM's now also charge their OWN separate use fees. Using the card like a regular debit card is free. There are no fees to get your check faster, so I don't know what you mean there, unless you mean the normal ATM fees. Little trick I learned though: getting a cash withdrawal at a register at Walmart, or any other store that offers it, does NOT incur a "withdrawal fee"...because it's technically considered a "cash BACK" transaction, not a withdrawal.Now, this card works perfectly for me, as I pay my bills either online or via money order (my landlord does not accept checks -he's been burned too many times before by previous tenants), so I've never had a reason to complain, but I suppose this system just won't work for everyone. I suggest your son in law simply wait the 45-60 days the Social Security Administration told him it would take for his own bank information to be processed into the system, and his money should begin being deposited to his bank in a month or maybe two. I can guarantee you the Social Security Administration did tell him this.
Have been called once a month for over a year, because the former owner of my phone number has an account with them. Just called back, insisted for 10 min, until they agreed to delete the number from the account. That rude operator has been repeatedly saying "we didn't call you, you called us"! what a company has such rude operator!
