What you need to do in order to track your money down is this: 1)contact the IRS and get the trace route number for the account they sent the money to.... also, ask what the exact amount was that they sent out and what date
2) call the SB TAX GROUP and give them the trace route number you got from the IRS... they'll ask for the exact amount and the date it posted as ACH...
3) Santa Barbara will tell you that they sent the remainder of the funds (tax prep and filing fees taken out) to green dot corporation... ask for the trace route number, date of transfer...
4) call green dot Bank, an automated recording will ask for your card number and such, but what you need to do is press the button to indicate a problem with your card/ lost or stolen... and you will reach an operator there...
5) explain what the problem is and tell them you're trying to verify the account.
That's that. I had 7k sent to green dot last November...I never asked anyone to do that. All 7k was drained quickly via unorthodox transactions a few days after I contacted green dot... they didn't wanna lock my account until all my **bleep**ing money was stolen and then they lock it up so that i can't even access the last 134 dollars they left me... which is still being charged a service fee ...
