BBB warns holiday shoppers about gift card scam
Description
December 13, 2022
The Better Business Bureau is warning shoppers to be vigilant about gift cards they're buying after a spike in scams. They say scammers place a barcode sticker on top of the original barcode in the store, so when customers buy the card, they are actually loading a completely separate gift card for the scammer.
