This is a new one

PJ Media: "Illegal Aliens Busted for $14 Million Gift Card Fraud."

These Latvians would steal unactivated gift cards, steal the ID on the back, then reseal the card and return it to the store kiosk.  When somebody activates the cards with funds, they would track it online using the security ID and then drain the funds before the card could be used. 

Today's lesson: check gift card packaging before buying.
