    Interesting about the gift cards. Tons of those are displayed at the front of stores.

    Yes, the gift card thing was a bit much.

    I don't buy them that often anyway.....but will be telling a friend about that.

    That happened to us a couple of months ago. Someone stole our debit card number and used it. The bank called us on a Sunday night to ask if we were at certain places- otherwise- we never would have known! They stole almost $700, which the bank replaced, but we don't use debit cards anymore.
