KineticKaleidoscope+FollowCHECK your gift cards before buying!I just bought a $50 Vanilla Visa card for my niece. She tried to use it online, and the balance was $0. Here is the scam: Thieves steal the cards, carefully slice open the package, scratch the code, record it, and put a new sticker over it. They put it back on the shelf. Once you load money at the register, their software drains it instantly. Run your finger over the barcode. If it feels bumpy or like a sticker has been placed on top, DO NOT BUY IT. #GiftCardScam #RetailTheft #HolidayShopping #ScamAlert #MoneyTips20Share
