Problem is, these Visa cards are being issued by MetaBank (the Treasury’s financial agent) and delivered in plain envelopes from Money Network Cardholder Services — neither of which is a familiar name for most of us. So reports of people mistaking these for preapproved credit-card junk mail, or even a scam, have been popping up across the country. And, in some cases, people have even thrown away the debit cards containing their long-awaited stimulus money before they realized their mistake.

ME. I was going trough the mail and exactly what is said above. I felt a card in a plain envelope. I get this kind of stuff quite often and they go right in the trash. I started to chuck it, but decided to give a quick look, just in case it may be a membership card or something.
