They want the security number
[QUOTE=Grinder264;1845498]So I'm emailing a young hottie ad I saw on Craigslist. She requests a moneypak greendot card. I say."How about cash?" She says."No, get the card." I'm like What? I admit I'm old school and don't always know about what's new, but in my generation cash is ALWAYS king. My spidey sense went up. Should I be concerned? Why would she want this moneypak card instead of cash? Doesn't make sense to me. Am I not understanding something? A little help would be great. Trust me, if I see her I will report back.[/QUOTE]They want the 14 digit security code that you scratch off the back. They now have access to the funds.
My guess is that she wants you to give her the number over the phone. Once she has that, she has your money.
Remember, google is your friend for lots of things (except your gmail security. Go look that one up).
Agreed. Sounds Like a Scam

The chick asked me to buy her a $20. 00 phone card and also asked me to send her $30. 00 via Greendot or whatever. I decided to go ahead and risk the $20. 00 and see what happens. She pressed me for the $30. 00 but I held firm and when she didn't reply to my texts, well, that told me what I needed to know.
