RushCard Customer Service Reps Hanging Up On Customers; Locking People Out Of Accounts

  
This RushCard debacle is extremely badddd for Russell Simmons’ business and honestly makes him look bad. While Russell may have done nothing personally, the card carries his name & brand. 

Everybody knows the worse thing you can do is play with people’s money–especially on pay day. The RushCard “glitch” that is keeping folks away from their hard earned cash is reeking havoc throughout social media. 

The PR cleanup is already in full effect but evidently customers aren’t buying the efforts being put forth by UniRush LLC, the parent company of RushCard services. 

Judging by the hundreds of venomous tweets & Facebook status updates, people just want their money! –and I can’t say I blame them!
  

Peep the story below on Fortune and sound off in the comments section!

Via Fortune– Users of RushCard, the prepaid debit card founded by hip-hop mogul and DefJam co-founder Russell Simmons, have been complaining all across Twitter that they’ve been locked out of their accounts, that their accounts are suddenly showing $0 balances, and that they aren’t getting any answers from customer service.

Some people haven’t had access to their payday money in a week.

Aussie Mom Blogger Charged For Injecting Ill Child With Urine And Laxatives For Blog Views

  

A woman who blogged about her family life and chronicled her daughter’s “rare genetic disorder” has been charged with poisoning her own kid for blog views. 

The woman can’t be named for legal reasons and her site has since been pulled from the internet. ABC News Australia reports that during a 24-hour period around March 11, a mixture of yeast and fungus grew in one of the tubes that made up the daughter’s venous line, in a way that indicated contamination by urine. 

Police allegedly found syringes, urine samples and laxatives in the woman’s handbag and investigators believe they have medical evidence going back to 2008. Police will use this as evidence against the mother.
During the period in which the mother documented her daughter’s hospital visits, the two gained recognition from several charities and even had large posters of the child lining the local airport.

Wow! The things people do for attention! Hopefully the kid will be ok. SMH!
