Gift Cards

The value you purchased may not be the value provided on the card because of shaved undisclosed terms, conditions and fees.

Scammers go to gift card displays and scan a card’s number. The unique digital number stores and keeps track of the balance on the card. After you purchase the card, the thief can call the issuer and check the balance to see if it is below the original value. If so, the crook knows the card has been activated and knows how much money is left to be stolen.
