I got two what appeared to be Credit Cards in the mail today from everywherereward.com Nothing about google wallet or anything that would clue me in to what the heck they were.
I called the number to speak with customer support and thats where I found out what it was.
These are Master Cards, that are coming from MetaBank Everywhere Reward Cardholder Services.
Hopefully this will lesson your panic attack that someone is trying to get CC's in your name

Holy crap I just got the same thing today! Scared the hell out of me. The top of the letter states that Recently, you reported your Everywhere Reward MasterCard lost or stolen. Attached is your replacement Card.
Freaked the crap out of me! I've had some random issues with someone else with the same name as me, so I was concerned it was an ID Fraud issue. I called to activate and check it out, and noticed by the balance that I guessed it to be my Google Wallet prepaid card replacement. But why the heck would it come as a "Lost or stolen card replacement"? Oh, and it was listed as from "IRR CREAM".
Very strange, indeed!
Wow, just found this post while searching the web for who the hell this company is. Why would Google do the refunds this way? Scared the **** out of me.
Same thing here...freaked me out a bit, but kinda had a feeling it was for Google Wallet since I got an email a couple of days ago saying the refund was on its way. Just odd that the envelope or the letter did not have any reference to Google whatsoever.
WTF I just activated it and my balance is 0 dollars! this is a scam!!! nooooooooooooooo
Edit: So I checked through my supposed transactions and there were 5 inactivity charges of 2 dollars that basically depleted the amount of 10$ that I was going to receive, therefore the card has 0$ left on it. I should have opted for the check.
Haha, I got one too and wondered what it was. Especially since it said I had reported a card stolen. I had $10 still from my nexus 7 and $1.30 from my galaxy nexus. Guess which one I got (hint I can buy 1 mcdouble with it ) . Doubtful the $10 shows up, but we'll see.

Glad I'm not the only one who was a little freaked out by this card. Found a similar post on androidcentral. I got the mail just as I was going out with friends so I didn't have much time to deal with it but i spent the rest of the day thinking my identity had been stolen or something. All that stress for $10!
I got the same thing! What's even weirder is the fact that the "From:" field says "IRR CREAM". Instant Rebate Rushed; Cash Rules Everything Around Me?
Got my check last week :laugh:
Thanks for posting this! This thread is now high in the google search results for "IRR CREAM", which is the first thing I googled when I got this sketchy-as-hell credit card in the mail.
IRR Cream
I got one today and was wondering what the heck it was but needed the money so I took the chance and activated it, I had 25 on mine so I went to the store and it worked. Good for Google, I have always loved their services and now am even more a fan. yay Google Thank You!
ya.. thank god for the interweb. Hm.. I don't like that google used this company. Need to provide your address and info for a cash card? Alright. Hopefully when I go to spend my $1.20, they don't expect my ID to say Gina Talia.
I got the card thinking it must be a rebate card from all the computer parts I've been buying but was baffled by the wording. Then a few days after I spent it I received an email from Google explaining that it was my Google wallet refund. They apologized for the confusing description in the paperwork. Just glad I got the free money

They only need your info if you plan to make online purchases, since most online stores check if your name and address match the one on the card that you're using

I'm finally getting an Evo - however I plan on buying it from craigslist. There are a few people selling in my area for about $300, but I talked to one guy and he was willing to go down to $200 for me since I asked for $250 but it's a bit of a drive. Now I've seen good deals like this before, but the guy seems a bit skeptical but having delt on craigslist before... I know some people are just like that.
The phone (HTC EVO obviously) is brand new and un-opened, but I've never seen the box (other than the picture he sent me of it) and I wanted to ask if there was anything I could do to make sure it really is brand new and has not been opened or replaced with rocks! I could ask him to open it in front of me... if there is nothing wrong with it as he claims then he should have no problem doing it since I'll be buying it.
That's my only idea.
Is there a way to find out if it's stolen or blacklisted by sprint?
Any help is appreciated.
You can ask him for the ESN, then you can call sprint and ask them is it is clear for activation....if so, be sure to visually inspect it to ensure that is the one you are buying

Is the ESN visible if the phone packaging has never been opened?
Yes. It's on the outside barcode.
Thank you sir!
Call him now.

i purchased my last phone, a Touch pro this way. met him in a parking lot(walmart, HIGH traffic) popped open the phone, called sprint, told them the situation(they were cool with it) read off the ESN, came back clean, done deal.
I very much recommend bring a buddy or two. just in case!
I got mine off Craigslist, I just met the person at a local Sprint store and had the sales rep check it right there, he even called into the activation center to double check for me. Then took it home rooted, blah blah, and then activated later on the website.

The best option would be to contact the seller and see if he would be willing to complete the transaction at a Sprint retailer. This way you will be in a public area, and it can be checked prior to handing over the dough. Good luck on the transaction, and enjoy your new EVO.
I think I'll write up a little 'Craigslist Buying Guide' with all this good information... And now experience!
I got two calls back last night, one of which would meet me at the sprint store! Her Idea too. But on my way out she called back and said she had another offer for more money... And I wasn't about to start a bidding war for her benefit so I was upset and went back to my original seller. The guy lived super far but I was potentially getting a great deal. Once I got there, I checked out the phone and tried to get a good read on the seller... he was VERY strange as most everyone I've dealt with on craigslist have been. This is my first craigslist phone purchase however.
So I called sprint, did the number thing and went through hours of customer service crap. Turns out, the guy has a business account (probably a made up bogus business but with a real fed tax ID and crap - anyone can start a business) and he buys the phones with pre-paid visa's, like you would use when making online purchases or give away as a xmas present. So these visa's look just like debt/credit cards that his "Business" would use and he gets the phones with plans so they're discounted (even though I can't see how he would get the MIR??). Once discounted he sells the devices or 'the hardware' for profit and at a good deal (seemingly) to the consumers like myself. I'm not sure how he makes much profit considering the EVO is $200 after MIR not to mention he had to have paid the first month of service and other fees/costs.... Maybe he was genuine and just bought the phone and changed his mind... but it seemed very skeptical.
Ok so the purpose of using the pre-paid visas was that in 30 days when the new billing cycle comes... Sprint will not be able to bill his visa because its out of money! It's not attached to his name or business like a normal credit card would be and now they'll try contacting him but I figure he'd probably just ignore them. Then a cancellation fee would be added ($200 more) but that wont get paid either and then I would assume Sprint will blacklist the ESN untill it's bill are paid.
What do you guys think? There was a lot more to the story so it may be hard to figure out what he was doing exactly. Maybe he genuinely was ignorant. Was it smart to not buy the phone off him? (even though it was only $200 unopened)
I had some people come to my home that were selling something on Craigslist. That night my home was burglarized. Figure it out.
Craigslist can have some good people on there but so many scumbags it isnt worth it.
Well I think it's obvious you should always meet in a public place. I would NEVER tell someone to meet me at my home!
this guy sounds shady and it sounds like Sprint not activate that phone if it's attached to an account that owes them money.

Good news. Google Wallet "fixed" and provisioning of cards restored.
My wifes GN is now working fine, my GN that I had reset my wallet is not. All I get is the "Try Again" or "Remove Card" options. I called Google they sent me to Money Network who was a overnight call taker, didnt know much of anything. He created a ticket for the issue. Thank for info OP, at least I know they are not planning to take over the world with my $20! LoL
I tried activating the card, but it still states that service not available....Contacted Google and they informed that the pre-paid card is temporarily unavailable now....am i missing something?
yea this is a serious tease.......ugh

the really really odd thing, i just called them about a hour ago when I didnt see these articles yet and neither google wallet or money networks had any freaking idea. they basically said "we hope to have a fix by friday, if not monday"

From what I've found, the announcement about prepaid working again is for new users - those that haven't set up Wallet on their devices before.
Folks that have had Wallet and kept their data intact during the "outtage" *should* be able to continue to use Wallet as normal.
Those who wiped their data (as I did in preparation for a ROM upgrade) are still waiting on their prepaid cards to be made available. This is what I found out when I called Google and Money Network this morning; I'll call again tomorrow and see if there's any change.

Thanks for the update. Plz update us tomorrow after your findings?
Just went and tried to buy batteries at Rite Aid with my phone. Payment came up I held it on the terminal, then entered my PIN and put it back on the terminal. After a couple seconds it said "sent" but the merchant never got confirmation. I took it off the terminal and it gave an error saying to have the merchant reset it or whatever. Tried about 4-5 times it did the same thing every time.
Anyone else have this experience?
Also, looking at my transaction record it looks like the first one actually went through... but my balance doesn't reflect that, and it never gave me the merchant name or $ total. Thinking maybe they messed something up on their end? And after the first one didn't get accepted it blocked me from accidentally making multiple purchases?
edit: In the notes area, I wrote that. It was blank.
You most likely needed to hit "ok" on the physical terminal. Some stores you don't, some you do.
My wallet isn't working either. I had data in it (showed $3.XX balance), but it kept failing when I tried to add funds. I reinstalled and now I get the "Prepaid is unavailable" when I try to add the prepaid card.

No prompt on the terminal at all. It just sat blank. Never got prompted to choose credit/debit either as the Google Wallet tutorials say you may have to select "credit" if possible. The terminal was blank the whole time : /

Hi, I bought a new Verizon Note 4 off craigslist about a week ago
and everything was working fine until today...
I checked the imei and it says it's been reported stolen.
I tried to get a hold of the seller but no reply
and now I don't know what to do... I'm new at this, not tech savvy at all
but i heard it's basically an expensive mp3 player now?
any help would be great.
thanks
Sorry to say bro, if it's been reported stolen, you're out of luck. At least you'll have one of the best Mp3/media player out right now.
Sent from my OnePlus One
Sorry to hear that. What you can do now is remove the SIM and using wifi. You could install GrooveIP or Hangout dialer from the market to make phone call over wifi and of course a very good MP3 player OR you can try to sell it in Ebay, even with a bad IME you should get a few hundreds bucks for it. Make sure you listed with a bad IME or Ebay will come after you.

was the deal "too good to be true?"
One way to prevent this somewhat is to call Verizon and have them officially transfer the IMEI to your account and remove it from the old owners instead of just swapping a sim card in. Whenever I have done craigslist deals this is how I do it and so far so good...
Sounds like he reported it stolen right after selling it to you. That's the bad thing about craigslist, is there likely isn't a paper trail. I always use the PayPal app and gift the funds or pay an add'l 3% for extra protection. Leave a note on the transaction saying what it's for, in your case I would've included the IMEI to show you purchased it (assuming it was actually his phone and he didn't steal it before selling it to you). I wouldn't be surprised if someone tries to contact you about the stolen phone. It probably had insurance so either the seller (or original owner if seller stole it) made a claim with Asurion.
I'd like to add that you should request to see the receipt to prove that the device is not financed.

Great in theory, yes. But anyone who was using the device, as long as the IMEI registered to their account, can blacklist it. If you had a phone that you bought used and were legitimately using, and someone legitimately stole it, you'd wanna report it lost or stolen, right..? You wouldn't want the thief to be able to use it just because he called in and had the IMEI officially transferred...
Sell it to someone else
Test it with a sim card from T-Mobile or AT&T and if it works, buy a new back cover for the appropriate carrier and resell it on craigslist as a T-Mobile or AT&T phone.
was the imei good when you got the phone?
Damn that's not cool I've been dealing with Craigslist for years and never had this happen. I always meet at Verizon and have a rep do the transfer even though it's technically not required. That way if there's any funny business you have a paper trail and record from Verizon that the account owner sold you the phone (requires I.d. when doing it ).just try and sell it on ebay with bad imei as others said if it can still be used on t mo or att then you should at least be able to get 400 for it just be honest about the imei.
No response yet from the OP on the questions ask about his phone....
You can sale it as unlocked, works on the mobile. When I get bad meid devices, I sale them to people wanting to use them on MetroPCS.

I ordered 2 of the gunmetal grey, as I opened up a new account through the comcast web site which their deal for new verizon account activation's is you get a $150.00 visa prepaid card which you do not need to have comcast service, nor do you have to buy comcast service, you only have to purchase new verizon service through them.
The offer lists you will receive the $150.00 visa prepaid card with in 6 weeks of activating your new verizon account.
They also have a $50.00 offer if you upgrade your verizon account to a new phone.
This is a great deal and with this my new m9 will only cost me $50.00 after receiving my $150.00 visa prepaid card.
The offer is good through a date in June so everyone has plenty of time if the m9's get on back order.
Just thought maybe this deal might help out a few people like it is helping me.

I hit the buy it now on their site and it takes you to the verizon site to purchase its like the old verizon site but it works even lets you pick the first 3 digits of your new number along with your area code they just pick the last 4 digits, this is nice and the regular verizon site never lets you pick your new number they just give you whatever they want unless you call in or go to a corporate store but those ways the phones usually cost you more than on line and you wont get the $150 rebate visa card by calling in to verizon or going to a verizon store.
You can call the number to order on that site for the special or order by hitting buy now. I think the number only comes up on the site if your viewing it on a phone I think on a pc it does not show the phone number just the buy now part I do believe.
I look forward to getting my $150 prepaid visa rebate card.
what dos this have to do with the HTC M 9???
this fourm sould be moved or closed has it has nothing to do with the HTC M 9
Snow I really do not know why you are making such a big deal like do you not have anything better to do than complain about someone posting something that helps others save on getting a new m9 ? I mean like there are a lot of people that that $150 prepaid card would help.
And if we go by your philosophy your account lists your on a moto g so if your on a moto g why are you complaining about a post on the m9 forum when you dont even have one, on that basis maybe your post should be deleted or moved ????
Some of us are here and like to help others then I guess there are some here just to complain and try to put down others ????

I got the same 2 day fed ex shipping that everyone else got so I received my gunmetal grey m9 on 4-10-15 It sat in Newark NJ for almost a whole day think verizon asked fed ex to not deliver them until the 10th if you got standard 2 day shipping.

This did not help forum If you have other topics please let me
I got a nice surprise in the mail lol. I had opened my new verizon service through the comcast web site because they had a offer for a $150 prepaid visa rebate card well I thought the $150 rebate prepaid visa card was only good for one line, any way I had opened 2 lines of service, one for myself and one for my girlfriend and they sent me a prepaid visa card for $300 I was only expecting $150 lol that was a welcomed sight lol.
So apparently the offer is not limit one rebate, lol.
Also offer listed you would receive the card with in 6 weeks of activating your device, and I activated mine on 4-10-15 so just over 3 weeks and its here so they are pretty quick getting them out and not waiting until the last minute to send them out.
So its a good deal by far and you can also trade in an old phone with the verizon device recyle program which I did also on both lines so I have a $200 credit coming from verizon sending in an evo 3d and a rezound both I have had laying around in a drawer just wasting away lol.
So, I place my order on the 4th for Pixel XL 128g in black using Google financing option. Order was successful, so I thought. Never got a confirmation email or anything. After submitting the page landed on order history with "Canceled" in the header. Login to sysnchrony and all my available credit is gone and there is a pending payment for the amount of the whole order. Fast fw to today, still same pending amount..a rep at google finance tell me that it shows approved and I should contact google store to get shipment info and what not.
Google store has no history of my order and keep insisting I used the wrong email to place the order haha wtf ever. They can't find any damn trace of it. No trace of it in my order history either. So guess I'm not getting the Pixel!!
I went through the same thing....Google finance still says it's pending. Google doesn't show anything.

Were you able to reorder? Even if I ever get to reorder looks like they are out of stock for XL anyways.
Not with Google finance. I went ahead and just put it on my credit card. I tried Google finance again yesterday and it was declined because of the pending charge.
Gotcha. I'm going do the same once the XL is back to stock.
Got email from Google explaining that they had some technical difficulties on some orders, mine being one. Anyways, got $100 off promo code for my reorder when its back in stock.

What number did you guys call, i originally ordered a 32GB Very Sliver and the payment got blocked due to my banks fraud protection so i unblocked my card with my bank and now it sits at pending.

I used the chat feature on the Google store. The chat agent then scheduled a call back to me from a higher level. When they called, their number didn't even show on phone. I called them back from the help feature chat or call. Don't remember the number off hand though.

Return it go a few days without a phone.
I was a victim of this as well. I called and was told that if I were to cancel my new XL 128gb pre-order and reorder with the promo code, I would have to wait likely another month before I receive the phone. I decided against it, but the rep was cool and added a ton of notes to my account so when I activate it, ill get some sort of credit towards my Fi account to compensate. He also confirmed that my device would def ship on the 21st.
My order was cancelled and the Google store is saying due to financial issues on my end but, the full amount was removed from my bank account (I purchased using the pay now option using my bank card which I used to purchase the Nexus 6 and 6P) . Google is still trying to tell me that my bank didnt approve the purchase but, you can clearly see the purchase amount has been paid to "Purchase authorization Google Devices" and yet, Im being told a different story from the Google support team. Cant ask for a supervisor bc they just tell you that they can only escalate the issue and have someone get back to me. I definitely want some sort of credit or something given I have been a Google faithful for years and have been on the Fi network for a year now too....

yeah, i havent had any response at all. And I have sent multiple emails w/screenshots of my acct information showing the purchase of the "Google Devices" in my acct balance history. It even has my monthly payment to project Fi right above that so called "declined purchase" . So they somehow can automatically take payment for my Fi service, send me my Nexus 6P and my Fi sim cards not to mention my Google cardboard etc.... several things have been purchased through the same acct with NO issues, now all the sudden Im having a bunch of problems... be serious Google....
