The Alameda Police Department has uncovered $6,000 worth of fraudulent gift cards in that city alone.
Police are warning residents about a gift card scam making its way across California, after an investigation found nearly $6,000 worth of fraudulent gift cards in Alameda alone.
“Often the customer does not realize the card has been tampered with. Especially if it was given as a gift to another person. If the gift recipient doesn’t know where the card was originally purchased from, they can’t go back to report it to the store,” the Alameda Police Department said on Facebook.
Compare the scratch off stickers: A gift card that has been tampered with will have a sticker with slightly different font and spacing than a card that was never used.
