MiCash Customer Service Horrible

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:53:54 -0500

I agree with you about how hard it was to activate, now imagine trying to send money. My experience was that MiCash customer service is absolutely horrible. I had such a hard time sending money and it took about a month for my mother to finally be able to pick up the money. They kept telling me the money was available at the bank, but it wasn't. My mom is sick and she really needed the money to pay medical bills. After that I still had about $15 on the card, but I couldn't withdraw it anywhere and customer service wouldn't help. Finally I just threw away the card and decided to use Western Union in the future.

MiCash aspires to make big money on illegal immigrants who send money outside the country. Too bad illegal immigrants want nothing to do with MiCash, mainly because their products don't work and their fees are too high.

The best way to send your money home to any country

Hi, I just read your story on sending money home. Smart Media Technologies is a company that has taken this idea to the next level and has developed a cell phone down-load that then alows the user to send money to anyone, anywhere, anytime. For a cost of $5 you can now send $20 to $1000 to anyone in less than 30 seconds. From the user's cell phone he/she can now conect to their checking account and transfer money to their card or personally go to any of over 40,000 green-Dot locations or Bank of America to transfer funds to their pre-paid debit card visa card. If using your cell phone to send money, in just a few key strokes you can send money to another cardholder anywhere in the world in just seconds. This is the ultimate way to send and recieve money for only $5. This is done by the customer purchasing one or multiple Prepaid debit card Visa cards from SMT. For more information go to www.smtusa.net Feel free to call me with any questions. Kurt Miller Director Smart Media Technologies 908-244-0567

Not an hour after Tuesday's post on an apparent remittance service offered by The Home Depot, I received an email, from their Media Relations Department, in reply to my request for more information.

Here's what The Home Depot had to say:

"On May 8, 2006, The Home Depot launched a pilot program in Washington, D.C., called MiCash. It is a program offering consumers the opportunity to purchase cards that can be loaded at The Home Depot and used as debit cards, ATM cards, telephone cards for domestic or international calls and as a money transfer product to send money instantly within the U.S. or overseas. Each package purchase includes two identical cards that can be used both domestically and internationally, allowing customers the ability to give one of the cards to a family member. A government ID is required to activate the cards. The pilot will be expanded later in the month to include The Home Depot stores in the Tampa market. There are no plans for further expansion at this time."
