gift card scam warning
Permalink Closed

"Well the crooks have found a way to rob you of your gift card balance.
If you buy Gift Cards from a display rack that has various store cards
you may become a victim of theft. Crooks are now jotting down the card
numbers in the store and then wait a few days and call to see how much
of a balance THEY have on the card. Once they find the card is
"activated", and then they go online and start shopping.
You may want to purchase your card from a customer service person, where
they do not have the Gift Cards viewable to the public."

Haha!  No kidding, that is terrible.  I would have never thought of that happening, but it makes sense that it could.

This is good to know.  I suppose it wouldn't apply to the restaurant ones seeing as how you can only use them in store though, huh?
