California middle class tax refund scam

[MPHSystems]

We got this card a few weeks back and I’ve decided I do not agree with the terms of service and I want a paper check cut. The instructions are as clear as mud. When I try to request a paper check, the phone system asks me for the card number and then it ask for my last 4 of the social but that’s when they activate my card and I don’t agree with their terms of service.

has anyone successfully received a paper check?

RDP members don’t take handouts from the government. Just like they all pay cash for everything.

Are you sure this is information you should even be giving out over the phone?

Why would any govt entity send you a prepaid card?

The California Middle Class Tax Relief deal comes as a debit card. We actually qualified for $1,050 and still haven't seen anything.

Apparently “New York community Bancorp Inc.” was given the contract to mishandle our money.

God I hate this state.

Found this on the interweb. I haven't received mine either and I do finally qualify for this one.

My 2020 taxes were direct deposit, as we're my moms. But she recieved a debit card too.

Newsom is buying votes

 

[Flying_Lavey]

It just cracks me up that they are giving out this bribe based on the 2020 taxes to "combat inflation" that has occured AFTER those taxes were filed. Use the '21 taxes.... no no no! Use data from 2 years ago.

And, I dont think there is anything stating the recipient still has to be living in California either.

You misspelled “laundering money”


Did you see all the fees that the New York bank is taking from these bribes?

I have some down time but there doesn’t appear any way to opt out and I’ll be goddannmed if I’m going to leave that money to just sit in a New York scam bank.

Banana republic, full tilt.

There are not enough ropes and not enough trees to fix the corruption in Sacramento.

The money is coming from the budget surplus, FYI. EVERYONE that paid taxes to CA should be eligible to receive the money back.

That makes sense. We never got any GSS I or II.

They have a special RDP selection.

But why is it being laundered through a mom and pop bank in New York?

That explains why the payments keeps pushing by 2 weeks at a time

 

[bocco]

Mine was a direct deposit.

Yours was direct deposited to my account.

That’s where FTX was dumping it to make it look benign? And it’s far away so no one will go looking?

 

[EPL]

My wife got our and spent it already !

 

[Taboma]

Mom and Pop Bank ?? 225 branches in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Ohio and Arizona --- included on the list of the largest banks in the US. Mom and Pop are rockin it for sure

Trust me, I have zero apps because I won't sign off on the T's & C's, so what is it about this refund card that's got you spooked ?
Is it a Debit Card, so if you continue to use it beyond that amount being returned, you owe this bank + interest ?

 

[SHOCKtheMONKEY]

My wife got our and spent it already !

Yep. Me too.

 

[zbudman]

My wife got our and spent it already !

Haven't received mine yet. Any chance your wife spent mine also?

 

[havasujeeper]

My other half got one and when she went to deposit the credit card into her checking account, they charged her $1.50. This frosts my ass.

You can log into the bank of America website the card is through and transfer to your bank for free. But takes 5ish days

 

[havasujeeper]

That's the concern, her primary account is through B of A. Something's fishy.

Fuck that noise!
I’ve paid taxes and they completely mis managed it.
If they are willing to give some of it back I’ll take it!
I have shit that needs fixing and parts to buy.

 

[J DUNN]

My kids all got cards with $350 on them. I haven't seen anything for wife and I. Seems crazy that I would get something but I did show a loss last year soooo......

I find many ways throughout the year to pay forward to society and help those in need. This money will be put to that good use, even the kids money, seeing as I'm not sure how they qualified for it either as 16, 17 and 20 year olds.

As for my SSN, so many people have that already, it's not worth the time to seek a check, move on, use it or not, move on. You read the terms.......?

 

[Taboma]

Holy shit-stick, what a pain in the ass ---- I might just shred the damned thing rather than deal with this bullshit, calling, SS #, pin #, what a load of crap.

I opened three of those envelopes today (my kids cards).

I was surprised to see the New York bank (WTF?) and having to agree to terms of service to open an account with that bank. Why the fuck should I or my kids have to open a Visa account with a bank in New York????

That account, once open will undoubtedly come back to haunt people. Will it effect their credit rating having another open Visa account? Will they be hit with fees next year when it automatically renews?

Why in the world we live in today when you get your taxes direct deposited would they implement this program.

There is the smelliest fish in this I’ve ever seen!!!

I set the envelopes aside to finish some other work before I was going to call the number and ask for paper checks…. Now I see above from @MPHSystems that you can’t even do that.

Fuck I hate taking on projects that get dropped in my lap!!!

I will not use these cards they sent and now I have to make it a priority to get this money some other way. Just what I don’t want to dick around with.

 

[coolchange]

Just wait until you get taxed on it again as income. Then Brandon’s 600$ 1099 bullshit kicks in.

 

[t&y]

Yup, it will show as income (or so to speak) when filing taxes, just like it did last time. It is scary to me how stupid people really are thinking any of this is "free". I don't think we have got this bullshit yet, but it will go straight into our bullshit tax credit account just like the last batch we go for "free" and go right back to the state when we file our taxes.

I really wish they would just stop fucking around with all this bullshit and fix the real issues like our homeless, incarceration, and border issues.

I had some down time and spent about 90 minutes trying to handle this over the phone. I did get a 3rd phon number but it’s not much better than the first two.

I did find this, I’m mailing a certified letter stating that I do not agree with the user agreement and instructing mom and pop community shell bank of New York and money laundering to mail me a paper check.

As to why Newsome chose a bank in New York, they probably give a better kickback than the Cayman Islands or Nigerian banks.

Well, that’s problematic. Wokafornia has banned business with those states because they are racist or homophobic or some such tomfuckery.

I guess those business bans don’t apply if Newsom is getting a kickback or taking a family vacation there.

What a fucking pile of shit that guy is.

 

[havasujeeper]

Liberal Attorney General Bonta from Kalifornia said there are alot of "bad actors" out there, stealing mail, and fraudulently trying to steal the card... or was he referring to stealing the votes...I can't remember now!

 

[Badchoices03]

Wait I thought NOBODY on RDP qualified for any free money??? lol

 

[havasujeeper]

We don't. We are just supporting our chauffeur, who has to diligently locate the beloved "Grey Poupon" mustard for us.

 

[CLdrinker]

Got ours a few weeks ago. Went to Sams club and spent it all.

NYCB is the largest thrift holder in the country.
They’ve been around for 170 years and hold about $63 Billion in assets.
Vanguard appears to be their largest investor out of a laundry list of investors.
“Mom and Pop” ain’t them.

It’s a mistake to think King Gavin “picked” some bank to put a bale of money in for them to disperse on his behalf to the CA serfs.

I’m not going to waste my time researching this but it’s more likely that CA and company have a multitude of holdings and investments through this banking
consortium and what your checks amount to are slivers of interest paid out and accounted towards an “on paper” surplus.
In other words, no pile of extra money was ever sent anywhere, it’s an accounting matter.
If you don’t want to use the debit card then dont.
Nothing would make them happier.
But just an fyi, almost every single rebate, refund, welfare, UI or any other pay out besides tax returns comes in the form of a debit card these days.

 

[C_J_J_C]

If the state wants to give me my money back or if anyone else wants to give me there money I'll gladly take it.
We got the card, activated it in under 30 seconds, and used it at gas pumps like a normal credit card. It was empty in less than 3 weeks.
Why waste time getting a check? It spent just as easy on the card.

 

[OCMerrill]

They are paying for votes.

Yep by collecting the money and giving some of it back.

What a farce.

Because you probably spent $40-50 in fees 1/2 of which will probably be “donated” to Newsome’s presidential campaign

 

[mbrown2]

I got mine.... I put it all down on a Speed car....@shintoooo said I could claim that as a loss.... I figured he's the expert!

 

[C_J_J_C]

Nope. I received $700 and purchased 7 tanks of gas. Card stoped just like my regular card at 100 a tank. Processed exactly like a credit card but even if I did spend $50 in fees it would be better than wasting a day trying to get a check.
