Holiday Gift Cards

[Janet]

Don't know if this is true, but it more than likely is....so I wanted to share!!

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, 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.

Yes I think this is true. I had another friend tell me this and I think she said she checked it out at snopes.com and it was true. Scary isn't it?

[Janet]

This is such a sad world when people have to take the time to think up ways to rip their fellow human beings off.

Thanks for letting us know.

Oh no, this is terrible. The merchants are going to have to put the cards away, but how do you control employees? There are so many people working as seasonal help, they can record the numbers and give or sell them to friends. We may all have to go back to giving cash.

The level of dishonesty these days is unbelievable!!
