Warning Fraud theft with Gift Cards

[bigfrank Administrator Find all posts View Profile Close bigfrank]

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.



Please share this with all your family and friends...

Some gift cards have a pin # that you must scratch off a covering to reveal(like a scratch off lottery ticket). Be careful if you buy one ot these that the pin has not been uncovered.
