>Again, what is morally egregious that makes fraud against them sort of a lesser crime? I find nothing objectionable about the sale of gift cards and, as I stated from the start, I do not condone fraud. My response was to this woman's statement: >“I feel really bad now because my purchase of these cards may have contributed to unlawful activities,” Lisa said. “Even though I saved $40+, Petco actually lost money as a result.” I don't feel bad for large corporations, especially in light of how much money they make off of the gift cards they sell and the fact that they are not obligated by any law to hand out the gift cards for unverified returns in the first place. It's a situation they created for themselves and they can fix themselves. I also can't share her concern about 'contributing to unlawful activities'. I consider myself a pretty conscientious individual, but there just isn't any way to know whether the money I spent on gift cards went to a criminal or just someone who got an unwanted gift for their birthday. That level of worrying is beyond sanity.
