A heads up for you buying Christmas gift cards.....
....even for boating related purchases.
I received this email today from a friend. The scam is real so be careful when purchasing gift cards: ============================================ Yes this is true. Here is the link that has the information to back up this email: http://www.snopes.com/fraud/sales/giftcard.asp "Well the crooks have found a way to rob you of your gift card balance. If you buy Christmas 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 Christmas gift card from a customer service person, where they do not have the Christmas Gift Cards viewable to the public. Please share this with all your family and friends. ============= Those who buy *Holiday* or *xmas* gift cards need not worry and should disregard this warning. ;-) |
