Gift Card Scam - Truth or Fiction?

There's an email rumor going around describing a new scam in which crooks 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," 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.

An even better idea...buy and send your gift cards through your SendOutCards account and never have to worry about this! Don't have an account yet? What are you waiting for? Click here to set up a gift account and try it out!
