No this is just LOW!!! Interesting info for all of you who buy gift cards, especially this time of year. ************************************** FYI 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.

Wow-I never even considered that-How awful-to give a gift card and they go to spend it and the money is gone! People go to any lengths to rip others off.

That's really rotten. The level some will stoop to is really sickening.

Just buy gift certificates instead that can't be accessed through a computer.

Or buy the sealed kind that you cannot see the number until activation.

Or give the preferred gift - CASH [:D]

Buy the gift cards online. Everyone I have bought that way has been delivered very quickly.
