Scam alert: Prepaid gift cards from Shoppers Drug Mart

Bought a $150 prepaid visa from SDM a few days ago. Noticed today that the balance was empty, it was used to load up a Starbucks gift card in Vaughan. I didn’t do that.After some googling, apparently this is a known issue with SDM. I have the receipt for the prepaid visa that I bought, the last 4 digits on the receipt do not match the last 4 digits of the card itself. Someone is stealing the cards, taking them out of their package, marking down the number, resealing the cards using a clamshell packaging device, putting them back up on the shelf, then waiting for someone to buy it and activate it. Could be a SDM employee themselves, who knows.If you ever buy a prepaid visa or any kind of gift card from SDM, make sure the last 4 digits printed on the receipt match the physical card, and do it in-store! via /r/toronto http://ift.tt/2Bggyi7
