Hey everyone, I just found out my money network account was compromised. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm freaking out and don't know what to do. Any advice on how to handle this situation would be really appreciated.

Oh man, that sucks! I had something similar happen to me last year. First thing you need to do is call Money Network ASAP and report it. They should be able to freeze your account and investigate.

Thanks for the advice! Did you have any trouble getting through to them on the phone? I've heard their customer service can be a nightmare.

Yeah, it can be tough to get through. I had to wait on hold for like 2 hours 🙄 But its worth it to protect your money. Just be patient and dont hang up!

Pro tip: call early in the morning right when they open. Way less wait time!

Ugh, Money Network is the worst. I swear they have zero security measures. This happens way too often. 🤬

I found a way to get someone on the phone quickly. 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 about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

I was skeptical at first too, but I tried it and it actually worked. Saved me hours of hold time.

I get it, but for me it was worth it. Time is money, and I couldn't afford to sit on hold all day.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call Money Network immediately to report the compromise 2. Ask them to freeze your account 3. Request a new card 4. Change all your passwords and PINs 5. Enable two-factor authentication if possible 6. Monitor your account closely for any unauthorized transactions 7. Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit reports If any funds were stolen, ask about their fraud protection policy and how to file a claim. Document everything and be persistent. Good luck!

This is great advice. I'd also recommend setting up account alerts for any future transactions if they offer that.

Preach! 🙌 The whole system is a joke. We're basically forced to use a subpar service.

I heard it's because of some contract between Money Network and the government. Probably some shady backroom deal tbh

Sorry this happened to you, OP. Make sure you also check your credit report after you get this sorted out. Sometimes these creeps try to open new accounts in your name.

Has anyone actually successfully recovered stolen funds from Money Network? I've been fighting with them for months and they keep giving me the runaround. 😤

It took me about 6 weeks, but I did eventually get my money back. You gotta be persistent and keep calling.

This is why I always transfer my money out of Money Network as soon as it hits the account. Can't trust these prepaid card companies.

Smart move. I do the same thing. Rather deal with my own bank's security than rely on Money Network.
