Hi everyone,
I recently came across a situation where I received a gift card that turned out to be fake. I tried to use it online, but it was declined, and the seller disappeared. Has anyone else encountered fake gift cards before? How did you find out the card was fake, and what steps did you take afterward?
Also, what are some reliable ways to verify the authenticity of gift cards before using or purchasing them? Are there any warning signs I should watch out for?
I’m especially interested in advice on how to avoid scams like this in the future, and whether it’s worth reporting the incident to any authorities or the platform where the purchase was made.
Any tips or personal experiences would be really helpful!
