Gift Card Scam

I received this e-mail from Mrs Bedford. I thought it was useful so I am posting the info.

This might be one to remember.
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 waiting for a few days before calling to see how much of a balance THEY have on the card.

Once they find the card is "activated", they go on-line 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...
