If you are a victim of Ebtwm ~ Illegal Purhcase, Illegal Transaction of FOODSTAMPS, CALWORKS, CALFRESH.---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Check the date of illegal transaction. Make sure to report to your local DPSS office within 90 DAYS for CALWORKS and 30 DAYS for CALFRESH either by phone or in person. They will ask you the following: Date(s) of each illegal purchase(s) and the amount(s). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. The DPSS will advised you, not to report to Police or Sheriff. This is Fishy to me. Since the culprit Ebtwm, manage to change your PIN number in obtaining your SSN, DOB, Address. You still have to report since your Personal Information has been compromised. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Use the new EBT Edge APP which was lauched last Nov 10, 2023. You can remotely FREEZE and UNFREEZE your card before and after your transaction(s). Hopefully, this would work, since its a very new APP.------------------------------------------
4. Lastly, monitor for a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. Since CA Sheriff, LAPD and DPSS had failed to block these culprits, we had been a victim not once but more than once and our PERSONAL INFORMATION and OUR LIFE is not SAFETY.
I had been a victim of fraudulent activities of Ebtwm. Within the span of four months. Illegal / Unauthorized withdrawal, purchased been used in this terminal Ebtwm. My first one was July 2023, both CalWorks & CalFresh on the same day, spent thru Ebtwm over 3K value. Reported to LA Sheriff, LAPD and as well LA DPSS despite LA DPSS advise there was no need to report to Authorities and the card was with me. Change the Card, PIN number and as well the mailing address [change zip code].
Second time victimized Illegal / Unauthorized withdrawal, purchased been used in this terminal Ebtwm was after 7 weeks, Aug 2023, left me only with $1 - drain both of CALFRESH & CALWORKS for 3K. I dig more researched, my PIN number was illegally change via Phone. It means who ever stole has my personal info, SSN, DOB, new ZIPCODE. This time, I clearly emphasized to three Authorities in separate complains to LAPD, CA Sheriff & LA DPSS of my concerned and was coming from the same organization. Change again my card, change PIN number, change a different mailing address.
Recent was November 2023, same patterned, drained my CALWORKS & CALFRESH, about 3K, it seems these culprit EBTWM new my deposit schedule is. This time, I am mad with LAPD, CA Sherif, LA DPSS seems like they didnt blocked EBTWM or do something an emergency block of this internet account, to make end user safe. Ive learned over Millions has been illegally transacted with EMTWM and all does the COUNTY does was refunding the victims and silencing up.
My last resort is to FREEZE my EBT whenever Im not using it. Let's see this new feature lauched by EBT this November will stop the illegal withdrawal from my account.
You have to go thru your DPSS make necessary report within 90 days. They only accept the report if it happends within 90 days which will be refunded or over 90 days DPSS will not make necessary replacement.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even thou, you are advised by DPSS not to report to LAPD & Sheriff, still you have to make a report, to prove that your personal information SSN, DOB has been compromised. DPSS is only limited to your city, while report your SSN, DOB is FEDERAL. The Authorities will not refused if you make a report.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, we need a class action against our CITY's DPSS for not making our personal information SAFETY.
On September 11, 2023 $404.23 of food stamps was stolen from me I had food stamps left over from the month before that's why I had that much food stamps.when I went to the Grocery office to fill out the paper work so I can get my benefits back then told me if I did get them back I was only gonna get whatever benefits I received for that month not the whole $404.23
I've now taken pics of my transactions of this EBTWM that continues to steal my food stamps after I've gone to a certain store and it's always after used at same place. What besides not going back which I won't, can I do. I'm left without a way to buy food for the entire month
I was also charged for about $350.00 and there are multiple transactions of $0.00 dollars and they say it's from CVSSTORE and then says $0.00 charged from EBTWM
I don't know if an employee stole from me or if I was electronically hacked...
EBT TWM has been charging my food stamps card since April. Every month, at first for very small amounts. I had a backpayment because I had applied for food stamps over the summer and it took them nearly 5 months to open my case. I didn't realize what was happening. I finally got online to look at the transactions and i am shocked by the amounts they took! 387.00, 273.00 2-3x a month since April. Every single charge comes immediately after cards are loaded on the 4th/5th of the month and again in the middle of the month and finally at the end of the month. This is disgusting!
I had to cancel and replaced my EBT card because it has been hacked. I have multiple transactions of $0.00 with code EBTWM and two transactions with SAFEWAY INSTAGRAM and one EBTWM transaction, taking more than $250.00 from my account. I don't know what EBTWM and SAFEWAY INSTAGRAM are. Those transactions are unrecognizable.
There was a charge on my card from Ebtwm on the date of 8/17/23-8/18/23 in the amount of $357.45 at the address 702 sw 8th st bentonville ar. I have NEVER BEEN TO BENTONVILLE AR EVER IN MY LIFE. YOU ALL NEED TO STOP THIS FRAUD BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE CHILDREN. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING THAT HAVE HAPPENED NOT TO ME BUT TO THEM. HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO EAT. I HOPE THAT WALMART IS SHUT DOWN AND ALL EMPLOYEES ARE FIRED WHO HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSACTIONS AT HAND.I LIVE ALL THE WAY IN MEMPHIS TN! THIS IS HORRIBLE OF SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
There has been Fraud to my food stamps card and I want answers and my refund back all of it! My food stamps and money dead a**!!! Something has to b done Abt this!! I'm homeless with 5 children we need those stamps to eat n money for things they need hygiene products household items like come tf on!!!
Just found out that $281.00 was skimmed out of a friend's food stamp card. It looks like Walmart terminals may have been used to get EBT card info, electronically. Cancelled card and requested replacement card from case worker. Told replacement card will be sent with a refund of $281.00 on it within 3 business days. We'll see...In future, we may not shop for groceries at big, chain stores.
Did any of you get your money back I was just hacked 54.11 from EBTWM SEP 8 2023 AT 5:41AM FROM MY EBT CARD AND IM IN LAS VEGAS FROM CALI AND I AINT EVEN BEEN TO A WALMART YET..... CUSTOMER SUPPORT NUMBER IS1-479-273-4000 OPERATING HOURS: AVAILABLE 24/7 WEBSITE:WALMART I AINT CALLED YET BUT IM FINNA CALL HOPE THIS HELP
Thiefs stole over $275 in food stamps money on June 2nd at a Walmart with this address: 702 sw 8th street bentonville AR.
These criminals took the money early on June 2nd at a Target first, a thousand miles from where I live, requested a refund at Target then charged the amount at a Ebtwm in Walmart.. How is that possible? Called my card to get replaced. Keep an eye on your ebt card funds!! This never happened before.
Bentonville is Walmart corporate HQ .. I think it just a company identifier .. might not be a specific location. But wonder if Wal Mart is being hacked ? Or skimmers at some locations..
I woke up to my entire EBT card cleared off it was 530 dollars before I went to bed ad now I have nothing I'm a single mom of 8 kids I need my money. Back
My EBT card was skimmed in Los Angeles, CA at Smart & Final on June 28, 2023 for $271 and again on June 29, 2023 for $288.02.
I can't believe it!!!!
I've had ebt card canceled and getting new one in 5 business days.
I'm now waiting for local dpss office to open.
Lucky I still have last receipt for MY purchase at same store on the 27th.
Those transactions say
EBTWM. WTH?????
Ebtwm has been checking my balance after maybe a month when i didn't end up using all my foodstamps it took away $326.76 used in sams club. If you see Ebtwm even if it's says $0.00 request for a new card. State didn't refund me of what was stolen even after I have reported it they just send me a new card.
EBTWM is someone going in to a Walmart store and checking the EBT balance like you would check a gift card balance. If you are in possession of your EBT card it means it was skimmed. Whenever your first EBTWM was listed look about 3-4 weeks before that date and look at every place you used your card. One of those locations cloned your EBT card and stole your pin. Then they likely sold the data online which is why the transactions are usually all of out state.
I got my stamps barely midnight. I was asleep long before that time. I woke up late noon and started getting my kids ready to head to grocery store to get groceries for me and my family as we are completely out. I check my card and i have 400 less then what I usually get and checked transactions because I was in disbelief not knowing what was going on and come to find out started at 5 mins after midnight 5 mins after getting my food stamps charges started first of $134.23 then $15.68 then $26.87 then $104.58 then $53.74 then last when I finally checked a few mins before I froze my card another charge of $45.64 . A total of 6 charges off my ebt card. Since midnight this is rediculous what’s going on ? I’m reporting tomorrow morning once office is open as I’m finding this out Sunday mid day. I’m so stressed and so upset that someone decided to steal someone else’s food out there mouth. I’m just ready to report tomorrow and hoping everything gets sorted out very soon ! I hope this doesn’t keep happening.
Girl i feel you.i had not use my car until just now. I pay then i go to the bottom of the receipt to look at my remaining balance it's say 21 dollars left. So I call the card and transaction named EBTWN show up for the past 2 weeks. First one is of 500 and something then 165.31. This is sad. You would think that the government would have better secuirty. Now i need to wait till my office opens to reported this. People seriuosly have issues and no respect what so ever. I hope they find who is doing this it's not right at all.
I had a total of $124.20 stolen from my foodstamp card. First transaction was Saturday February 12th and the second was yesterday February 13th. I need my stamps back. I will be contacting the foodstamp office tomorrow.
$130.68 was stolen from my ebt card on February 8th and settled on the 9th. This is fraud I did not authorize this transaction. I've never been to Walmart Corp offices or any walmart stores in Bentonville I don't even have a car and have never been to Bentonville. Please email me so I can get my ebt back
