In this video we are going to help you correctly identify that it is a real card, you have received, so you A don’t mistake it for junk mail and B know it is real and not a scam. And then at the end we will give you what I think is the biggest tip to avoid scams and imitations of these cards.
So the first thing that is throwing people off is the address on the envelope
That is right, card holder services, that sounds awfully familiar…
Oh right, card holder services only the name of the most frequent phone scam we receive here in the US! I’m sure they could have picked a better address and name. But anyway, that is what the envelope will say, no US treasury or IRS, but Money Network Cardholder Services, the most common return address on the envelope seems to be PO box 247022, Omaha, NE, 68124-7022 although there may be other addresses, but the Money Network Cardholder Services is for sure.
The card will be stuck to a letter like a regular or scam credit card would be, and it will have the logo of the treasury right at the bottom. There will be an insert that also has the logo of the treasury on it which will use the term Economic Impact Payment. Not stimulus payment, Trump bucks anything else.
The card itself will have the Visa logo on the front top right corner with this American flag design, just the stars from the flag. And on the back it will say money network, that it is issued by Meta Bank North America and it will have Metabank’s logo, plus a few other logos.
Now to activate this card you do need to phone a number and give the last 4 digits of your social security number so that is why a lot of people are hesitant, I mean would you give your social security number to someone from cardholder services that randomly contacted you? I certainly wouldn’t.
But to know it is real you just need to know the number you are calling for activation is correct and that number is 1 800 240 8100 (If you are deaf and use TTY there is another number 1 800 240 9100) but for most people it is the one ending in 8100. So if you receive a letter with a different number, then it could be a scam and I wouldn’t give those people your social. You can find all this information on the website EIPcard.com.

Hi,
And thanks for this video.
When i called to activate my card, i was asked for the last 6 digits of my social,
You mentioned in your video that we'll be asked for the last 4 digits of our social.
Did i just get scammed?
And why are they asking for the last 6 , everybody else's ask for only the last 4 ?
Thank you for the information
Mine asked for the last 6 numbers of my social so I hung up 😳
That address he gave is the same as the supposedly correct address on the card holder paper? Seems odd….
i was sooo close throwing it out and changed my mind to see what in it.
i had gotten on 💀i think i threw it away😭😂
is there minimum balance, monthly, or annual fee?
I got it in my mailbox today.
First I thought it was a scam.
I don't think it was by accident.
They are expecting you to think it's a scam and throw it away.
It asked me for last 6 numbers of my social and it doesn’t have the bottom logo on the left corner , but it does have the same number you provided…idk wish me luck…
Amen. Hauilliah.
That. Right.
Amen.
Thank. You. Jesus.
Thank. You. Jesus.
Amen. Hauilliah.
My card nor letter has that Nebraska logo nor does it have that treasury lego on any papers nor a card with stars on it (just a regular black card) but it’s from that same exact company. Do I active it to receive my stimulus or no?
But…Who are you?…Who do you work for?…
Great the stupid government complicating life even more.
Eipwares my car
Do we set up another account for the second debit card or how do we add the second card to already existing account to check balance? Thanks in advance .
Anyone watch this and still think it's a scam?
Mail gets lost or stolen! Received the first 2 stimmys by direct deposit.
Why was that to easy?
Great info video but please everyone call the IRS and your regional bank to double check
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I am a huge skeptic, and I just got this card in the mail and thought “someone is trying to scam me”. I Can’t afford to be scammed, I am already broke lol 😂. This video definitely answered my questions thanks
I never got mine
I have this card and I’m pretty damn sure mine got hacked, it’s pissing me off that I can’t even get ahold of any customer service and this not even bank safe, no damn way to get my money that was in my card before hacked back on it🤦♂️
There sent me one. From "Money Network" I never asked for it. I never received it. I reported it stolen there sent me other one it had no balance on It. Called they said it was used all 600. I filled a clam and was denied due to inconsistent information. Now what do I do?
Too funny. Just got this card the other day. Came to YouTube to verify authenticity. Wasn't your video I saw first, but I appreciate you & others being here to look out for us. Keep up the good work. Liking/subscribing 🙂
I threw it away! But now they’re sending me another. Thank you
This is so weird. Why didn’t the IRS/treasury direct deposit it into your account?
