Freedom Eagle Pre-Paid Mastercard

I did not know where else to post this. Sorry, if this is in the wrong area.

I seen this last week and fancied it to pay for goods online. The card came today and I have activated it and everything, received the pin. I have yet to load money onto it, but they said I can do it at any Paypoint or Post Office.

Are they absolutely genuine? They aren't going to be some company that takes my money when I load it. Can I absolutely 100% trust this card to use?

    It's issued by Newcastle Building Society who also issue FairFx and some others. Whilst nothing is ever 100% it's as good as you get in this market.

    Prepay cards are generally safe you will however incur loading charges etc which is how they make money.
