Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Account opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: Block, Inc.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I received a Square debit card ( issued by XXXX Bank, through XXXX ) in the mail today XX/XX/2023 - it's a definite ready-to-use-upon-activation card with a chip. 
I have no financial relationship and have NEVER signed up for any sort of banking product ( checking, savings, etc ) with this company and was immediately concerned about identity theft. I have also never signed up ( to the best of my knowledge ) to receive information about their products ( which this was NOT information about a product. This was an actual chipped debit card, ready to use as soon as I scan the XXXX activation code ). 

I did find that I somehow have an online account with them using my personal email address ( which I don't ever remember signing up for, possibly the company received my email for sending receipts for paid services? ). I had to use the " forgot password '' to gain access ( because I never made an account in the first place... ) and discovered that I do not have any active banking with Square. 

I find this INCREDIBLY concerning because I believed myself to be a victim of identity theft since I have not opened any new banking accounts. As it turns out ( from a XXXX search into whether or not others have received unsolicited debit cards from this company ), this HAS happened to other people and they were similarly confused and concerned.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Phoenix Financial Services LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Phoenix Financial sent a letter to collect a debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX It was in my maiden name which wasnt my name at the time this supposed ambulance ride occurred. It hadnt been for 9 years. It was for a person I do not know. I responded to the letter that this was not my debt. They sent out a second letter which generated a statement. I called the number telling them this debt is not mine, I did not know this person. He was very rude and combative. He had my phone number and the last 4 of my SS, which was very alarming. He insisted I verify if the last 4 belonged to me and got very angry when I told him I wouldnt verify that information. I just got a third letter telling me I needed to provide proof of identity theft. Which.. this happened apparently 3 years ago ( XX/XX/20 ) and Im just finding out about it now. The person was XXXX XXXX XXXX at the time they were transported and this debt occurred. I have asked them to disassociate me from this debt via telephone and by their website. Yet, the third letter still came. I need to find out how to remove my name from this debt and get them to stop harassing me about it.

Product: Prepaid card — Gift card
Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer — Charged for a purchase or transfer you did not make with the card
Company: Incomm Holdings Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am confident that someone is tampering with Vanilla Gift Card. In the following I will give you my reasoning. 
I received a gift card on my birthday around mid XXXX. As you can see in the picture the card was bought 3 days before the birthday party. Once I opened the card the last 4 digits of the card was not visible. I tried to reflect the card in the light and was able to retrieve the last 4 digits by checking the vanilla gift card website and try couple of times and I saw that it had XXXX $ balance. Also the packaging has never been opened, so I was really the first one you opened the package. 
I wrote the card number somewhere safe and kept it at my desk. 
Today, almost 2 month after by birthday, I tried to use the card at local store. The card swiping did not work ( red flag ), but I ignored it and I said I will try to purchase something online with the card given that I had the numbers. 
I tried to check the balance to know how much I can spent ( I forgot the original value ), when I entered the number at the Vanilla Gift card site, I saw that there has been a purchase done to the card at some XXXX  store 2 weeks after the card was purchased. You can see in the attached document. When I called vanilla gift card they asked for the receipt of purchase ( very unreasonable ) to even start investigating this obvious fraud. I will try to talk to the person who gave me the card to retrieve the receipt and see if something might happen. But this clearly shows something is wrong with VanillaGift card company. The support center is very shady and I had this problem where the last 4 digits was scratched before but since the balance was so low I did not bother to pursue. 
I think the scam scheme involves someone tampering with card numbers and swiping magnet and then later getting the exact equivalent from a XXXX  store.
