ANOTHER BANK SCAM: PREYING ON THE UNEMPLOYED

GLH reports on how 30 states have signed deals with several major US banks (also being bailed out) to distribute unemployement benefits on debit cards, rather than by check. Fees apply for this "benefit," too. Vermont has not entered any official discussions with banks, but is reviewing unemployment debit card programs. Now's a good time to complain about this scam to the governor and your state legislators.

  1. Oh. My. Word.

    Like GLH said, just when you thought the banks couldn't get any lower....

  2. This should be getting more publicity.

  3. Well, I've posted it on my Facebook and I'm writing my state congressional delegation and state legislature reps/senators, too.
