General purpose card Unauthorized transactions/trans. issues Georgia

I was using a Netspend prepaid card. I had reloaded the card and within an hour after loading funds on the card, I noticed that funds had been deducted from my card via text messages, which indicated my balance had changed. I contacted the Netspend to report the matter, and after makIng numerous attemps to get someone on the phone, I finally got through to someone in customer service to handle my complaint. I explained that I had received text messages indicating that I had noticed unauthorized activity on my card. The customer servuce rep., put me on hold while he looked up account activity and told me that there were international transaction that had been made on card. I explained ghat I had not made nor authorized any such transactions. The agent explained that a block needed to be put on card immediately. I informed the ageng that I needed to withdraw what remaining funds from card and that it was urgent that I do so, because I needed the funds right away. The agent told me my options were : ,that I had an additional card availible or if I knew someone that had a Netspend card who


so I ask if I could draw my remaiding funds off card via an ATM since I was near an exit where one was located.The agent agreed that I could withdraw funds from ATM while he was still on the other end of call. I arrived at location and informed represengive that I had arrived. Atfter telling agent I was at location go withdraw funds, he hangs up the phone. I was under the impression that he would stay online until trasaction had completed, this did not occur. The agent had hang up on me prior go my even reaching the teller machine. After again making numerous attemps to get someone on the phone and having go repeat my delima over and over, I was told that the card had been blocked and could not be unblocked, even though I was still at location where I could make withdrawal of funds remaining on card.I at this point demanded that card and account be closed and that a check be sent to my residence. At this point I didnt trust continuing any futher relation with Netspend, as I inform customer represenative.I was told it would take 10- 20. business days to get my money.
