EDD Money Network account hacked: Unauthorized wire transfer, seeking advice

Has anyone else had their money stolen from their Money Network account? I just noticed a wire transfer to an unknown bank account that I definitely didn't authorize. I contacted Money Network right away and opened a dispute, but I'm worried I might never see that money again. I've heard rumors that this isn't an isolated incident and that there might be people specifically targeting disability recipients. I'm thinking about switching to paper checks to avoid this happening again, but I'm not sure how to go about it. This whole situation is causing me so much stress, and I'm worried about making rent this month. Any advice or similar experiences?

Omg, this happened to me too! I thought I was going crazy. It's been 3 weeks and still no update from Money Network. I'm seriously considering legal action at this point. Has anyone had any luck getting their money back?

Ugh, same boat here. It's been over a month for me. Money Network is useless. I've been calling EDD non-stop but can't get through. This is ridiculous!

Have you guys tried reaching out to your local representatives? Sometimes they can light a fire under these agencies. Worth a shot πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Also, consider using social media to highlight the issue. Sometimes public pressure can accelerate the resolution process.

I definitely didn't enter anything wrong. This was an unauthorized wire transfer that I never initiated. It's a real problem affecting lots of people.

Even if phishing is a concern, it's crucial for Money Network to have better security measures to prevent unauthorized transactions.

Guys, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at EDD! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Totally legit! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. It saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo.

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken.

Claimyr is a helpful tool for many, but it's important that it be just one part of a broader strategy to resolve these issues.

While humor is a coping mechanism, it's important to focus on resolution and accountability for these financial institutions.

This is why I always transfer my money out of Money Network ASAP. Don't trust these prepaid card companies, they're sketchy af.

I set up automatic transfers to my regular bank account. It usually hits within 1-2 days. Check your Money Network app, should be an option there.

Be sure to have a regular bank account with strong security measures in place to transfer your funds safely.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, OP. I had a similar issue last year and it was a nightmare. Don't give up hope though! I eventually got my money back after about 2 months of constant calls and emails. Hang in there! ❀️

Maybe we should all show up at the Money Network office with pitchforks and torches. Medieval problems require medieval solutions. πŸ”₯🍴

Has anyone tried reaching out to local news stations? This sounds like it could be a big story if it's happening to multiple people. Might put some pressure on Money Network to actually do something.

Has anyone actually successfully switched to paper checks? How long did it take? I'm thinking about doing it but worried it'll just cause more delays.

I did it about 6 months ago. Took about 3 weeks to process, but so worth it. No more stress about random charges or transfers.

Just be prepared for possible delays in actually receiving your checks. USPS has been hit or miss lately.

Switching to paper checks can provide more control, but be sure to have an interim plan for your expenses.

I've been dealing with EDD and Money Network issues for months now. Here's what I've learned: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every email, every transaction. 2. File a complaint with the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau). They take this stuff seriously. 3. Keep pushing Money Network for updates. Be the squeaky wheel. 4. Consider switching to paper checks, but be aware it might take a few weeks to process. 5. If you're facing eviction or other serious consequences, let EDD know. They might be able to expedite things. 6. Look into local resources for emergency rent assistance while this gets sorted out. Stay strong, OP. The system is broken, but don't give up. πŸ’ͺ

Thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely file a CFPB complaint. Do you know how long it usually takes for them to respond?

Joy Olmedo

In my experience, CFPB usually responds within 15 days. But the more people who file complaints, the more likely they are to take action against Money Network. Spread the word!
