We’ve all been there. You need to add cash to an online account, pay a bill, or load a prepaid card . You type into Google: “Green Dot MoneyPak near me.”

You do not swipe it like a gift card. You scratch off the back to reveal a 14-digit number. Scammers love Green Dot MoneyPaks. Because once you give someone that 14-digit number, the cash is gone—just like handing over physical bills.
