    A church bought $1000 worth of gift cards for xmas to hand out and found the cards were already drained and walmart store where purchased refused to allow customer to speak with general manager and told her it’s not their locations problem but another store across town.

    we always handed out gift cards..

    this year, it'll be cash in envelopes.

    that way, the person can go to any store rather than the only one on that card.

    we once and only once bought VISA gift cards, but they charged a fee on each purchase...BS to that, they already got our money when we bought them.

    Yep, cash is king. Just make sure you get it from a bank, not the corner convivence store. At least then there is a 99% chance it's not counterfeit.

    Cash is king. A family member in another state advertised some type of gaming system he had for sale. Some guy called and was interested. He came to the house and agreed to pay $250.00 cash for the gamer system. Paid cash and left. The family relative went shopping and then discovered the cash was counterfeit. I told my relatives grandmother, "Tell him to use the money for tips."

    Bad idea.
    Nobody wants to have a conversation with the Secret Service about why forking over counterfeit cash is illegal!
