Holiday Gift Cards
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?

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

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!!
