Had scraped with them for a year or so never no issue. Then they started utilizing a pre pay card they would issue. Twice I was issued a card. The first one after activation would not issue my funds called card company over and over only to issued another card at my cost.Again card failed to work after activation " Stated FRAUD" NEVER REIMBURSED.. My loss Then I went back again this time would only let them give me check for $178.00 j deposited in my bank cause no one would cash.and it bounced!! Now im in the hole for that lost my funds on thier issue card!!!! What kind of business does this with no recourse of reimbursement?? Think twice before you go!!!

I post 1 star then it goes to 2 star they really need a zero star! Couple times a years a have taken scrap copper from job site just pieces left behind 40-60 worth. . They have changed to a Dash card. What a ripe off! Stay away fees on card are outrageous! $24 was gone just in fees trying to take 40 off card . Was only 46on there! Read the paper went to an ATM that said Free nope only to find out $1.75 per try saying error ! When I called rude people and said too bad. Will never go here again. End they end had to make a purchase to use $22
