去商店里把空白卡拿走,打开磁条,记下密码,把磁条封回去,再放回到店里,这些卡都有记录,随时查看激活没有,一旦有激活;里面把里面的钱转走,这张刚卖出去的卡就变成0余额了。很多店里的卡没有外包装,磁条刮开贴回去有专门工具,很简单

Woman pleads guilty in federal court in NH to gift card scam https://www.wmur.com/article/guilty-plea-gift-card-scam-new-hampshire-121724/63216016 CONCORD, N.H. — A woman who helped obtain millions of dollars in fraudulent gift cards will stay in jail as she waits to be sentenced. The U.S. Attorney's Office said the case was part of a conspiracy that spread overseas to China involving about $100 million in fraudulently obtained goods nationwide. Naxin Wu pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors said she was personally responsible for acquiring and transferring $1.4 million worth of fraudulent gift cards. Prosecutors said the scheme involved using illegal means to obtain the cards, which were then used to buy Apple products. Those products were then shipped overseas. As News 9 Investigates reported exclusively in July, many of those goods were stored in a warehouse in Salem. The U.S. Attorney's Office put the value of those goods at about $8 million. During the hearing, defense attorneys said Wu at first didn't know the cards were fraudulently obtained. Once she learned they were illegally obtained, she continued to participate in the scheme, prosecutors said. Three alleged co-conspirators have also been charged in connection with the investigation, and prosecutors said more people will face charges. Wu is scheduled to be sentenced on April 1 and could face up to 20 years in prison.

华人有专门在微信上买礼品卡的,那些卡的价格低很多,基本上自己买是拿不到的,很多就这么卖出去了,还有很多拉群买卡的

感恩节我在target买了800刀 apple gift card,里面550都被偷了,打开卡就发现redeem code都被人破坏了,没法充值。target让我找apple。apple态度很好,让我file了一个case,三天就把500都给我找回来了。还有50连那个barcode都破坏了,很难找,结果过了几天也给我找回来了。不过以后再也不会去target买实体卡了…

嗯。美女要判20年牢狱。她一开始不知道这些卡是盗来的,但知道后接着用。

其实商店把gift card 放到柜子里,有人买开柜取就能杜绝偷卡的,开架随便拿给窃贼机会,尤其是现在高科技这么多,破解个bar code不难
