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.
I checked out Snopes.com and this is true. Go to the link below for more
details on this warning.
