When you buy the money card and load it to your OWN debit card, you’re shifting your OWN money around. That is NOT a scam!
When you give the money pack numbers to a stranger who scares you into it, THAT’S a scam!

My brother was running to stores and office depot bc Daniel Deals told him to buy these cards, I told him it was a scam and he was laughing at me. I am going to show him that I was right! It is a scam it is a good thing he got out before he lost money.

Credit cards should not be abused, BH I dont mess with credit cards and do not have these issues.

pay your bills to avoid this

if your utility bills are paid and your taxes are paid you would not fall victim to this.
what this tells us – too many people are behind in payment.
It is sad for those who can’t pay because they are truly strapped, but too many have warped priorities and have no problem eating in restaurants but leaving their bills unpaid.

I’m not sure you get how credit cards work.

Is this the thing from dan deals?

He tells everyone to buy cards to load to a bank account. So is it all a scam?? I feel so duped now, a notice should go up to inform people not to buy the cards. I am going to cancel all my cards now. Thank you for this information.

Once again (Check out the recent ‘Black Friday’ credit card scam of 40 million Target shopper–maybe YOU!) we see the falseness of our society. Instead of making the laws severe they prefer the public to suffer and give the criminal justice system business.
Phoney society with phoney morals.
‘The 7 Noahide Laws’ NOW!
Let’s organize and change things politically NOW!
