A Warning About Gift Cards

My friend Janie has fowarded me another email she received which I felt I just had to pass along. The sender took this from Snopes.com:

"Well the crooks have found a new 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 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 cards from a customer service person where they don't have the gift cards viewable to the public. Please share this with all you family and friends."

Be careful ladies!

Buzzing off for now...
