Green Dot Money Cards
I use Green Dot Money cards to help my disabled BIL when I'm traveling. Buy and load the card and call him with the numbers. Looks like that is ending? Any other ideas?

As a police officer all I can say is THANK GOODNESS!!! GreenDot cards have ZERO way to track their usage. Scam artists would prey on those without the most sense and drain them of their money almost immediately. Using a burner phone and whatever story they want, they can quickly transfer money without a trace.
I have taken countless reports for this over the years. There are other ways to legitimately send money that can be tracked. For instance, you can simply add your BIL to your account and give him a debit card. You can set him up with his own account within your bank and give him limited access to funds. Most banks allow you to send a check to him for a minimal fee.
