Gift card warning

[Dreamer]

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 jot 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 a card that's activated, 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...

P.S. checked out on snopes.com, and it is not a hoax -- sadly, it's all too true.

I believe it but I don't. Now think about the time someone put into thinking that one up, he or she could really go a long way in this world if it were not for them being a thief.


Thanks for the tip.

Just wanted to throw this in, you can order visa and MC gift cards right from Visa and MC that you can recharge. I think this is a better way to go.
