Money Network Cardholder Services is a legitimate company but unfortunately, there was a famous spate of credit card scams in the US a few years ago when cold callers would claim to be from Visa or Mastercard, or claiming to be “Rachel, Anne or Tiffany, from Cardholder Services” – the call would be followed by a series of questions, including details of the card verification code (CVC) on the back of the card. The accompanying letter (which the EIP card will be glued to) does have the blue and yellow Department of the Treasury logo at the bottom left-hand side. It does have a return address however: Money Network Cardholder Services along with a PO Box number (247022) Omaha, NE 68124-7022.
