If you purchase gifts cards BE SURE to buy ones where you have to tear off a tab on back to uncover the full number. Many times the criminals have skimmed cards on the racks with no covers over the numbers. You,the customer, purchase a gift card unaware that the minute it’s activated the crooks are notified on their end and spend your card right away. It happens a lot. It’s so annoying how much theft occurs at grocery stores and gyms.
