EPPIcard Scam: Don’t Become A Victim
Have you received an email regarding your EPPIcard but do not have one? This could, and probably is, a scam. If you do not have a card, do not respond to any emails asking for account confirmation or security breaches. This is just a ploy to obtain your personal information. For those of you with EPPIcards, it is important to note that all account management should be done only online in your direct account and over the phone with customer service.
How do I close my Virginia Eppicard account?
Hi, i need a statement of my account sent to email now. Of what was taking out
I WENT I ORDER A EPPICARD VIRGINIAN. PLEASE
Hi, I no longer have an Eppicard (had one years ago) and I am trying to get a new one, but every time I call your customer service number1-800-961-8423 repeatedly hangs when I get to the section that is supposed to connect me to a customer service agent – this has happened 5 times (my address has also changed and I cannot get a replacement card to my current address unless I actually speak to someone). Your Website claims 24/7 service – this is clearly not the case. I’m going to have to call the unemployment office of my state and inform them that your service is not working – so I can go through them to work out some kind of an alternative. If, you have another number which I can call – please message me. Thank you 240-559-8797
ok so I needed to also update my address — for the first time in 5 years I have figured out how to get someone — yes a live person — on the phone!! I ignored the “voice” when I was prompted to enter my card #. Instead when asked if I would like information on the new card being sent out to me (???) I pressed that button and it automatically connected me to a human! I also mentioned this to guy whom I spoke with and his advice (verbatim) was when prompted to enter your card #, enter it WRONG – you’ll be connected to a person.
