There’s nothing like a good scam to catch people off guard and ruin the holiday season. For some reason, there never seems to be a shortage of scams going around, but this latest one is more deceptive than the average run-of-the-mill ones.
If you’re thinking about giving a gift card this holiday season, you need to be aware of the latest gift card scam that is hitting Canadian retailers all over. Retailers who have racks of gift cards to different department stores, restaurants, and online gaming platforms seem to be the hot spot for this scam. Scammers have been tampering with these gift cards by placing a sticker that has a fake barcode on it over top the original.
