Well daughter L finally scratched her birthday gift card that we gave her from Walmart. Her birthday was back in April. It had a zero balance! We were scammed! Their customer service says the card was used the day after purchase. They say the card was not tampered with and that we used it. I feel they should remove the gift cards from the open shelves they are somehow being compromised. This happens a lot these days. I called the customer care number at the back of my credit card and they have opened a dispute case for me. Hopefully I can get a refund after investigation but nothing is certain.
Be careful out there! My neighbour says she gets e-gift cards but I think those can get scammed too.
How sad and scary.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is terrible. I hope you can get the money back. Lots of worries these days. And I thought it was bad when we didn't get our drink from KFC recently.
ReplyDeleteHow awful!
ReplyDeleteThat is terrible. I didn't think you could get scammed if the pin wasn't scratched off.
ReplyDeleteAwful. So far, that has not happened to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this world coming to? I sure hope you can get to the bottom of this, Christine.
ReplyDeleteThat's really disappointing, so sorry to hear it. Wish you in spite of it all a good week! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad! My daughter found out that someone managed to take money out of her bank account. The bank put a lot of it back, but she has to get a new account number and tell everyone who is doing ACH the new number. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, you get a refund.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read this. I've heard of this scam. Hopefully you can get your money back.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I didn't know that could happen. Seems like green cash may still be a good idea. At a recent niece's graduation, it was funny watching her open gifts of cards with cash and checks in them from the elder folks. We almost had to tell her what to do with it all and how to deposit and spend it! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteOh no.. that is horrible!
ReplyDeleteI hear you.
ReplyDeleteWe'v e been scammed out of $1550. I don't know how they got my bank card info. Jerks.
Linda cash is best for sure!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Jenn.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Sally gave me a $50 gift card for my biothday one year. I didn't use it for six months and they denied it because I had not used it immediately. Sally and I got scammed in a different way. I feel for your daughter.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth gift cards here now have no expiry luckily.
ReplyDeleteThe world we live in just seems to get worse by the day
ReplyDeleteUy que pena ojala te den el rembolso. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, this is not good.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will get your money back.
All the best Jan
