    Default Gift Card Warning!!!

    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 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 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...

    ...and across the line.
