I wonder how they deal with gift cards bought with stolen credit cards? If the gift card gets cancelled by the retailer after Cardpool verifies it and sends the cheque, they're out the money.
This could be an easy way to liquidate the balance on a card.
- rottencupcakes 17y agoAnother question is with gift cards that are redeemable online with just the unique id number. How do they stop me from sending in my gift card, getting the check, then buying something online?
- gscott 17y agoAlso people steal items from places like Home Depot and then return the items for gift cards. I met a guy who that is all he did. He would steal the items and had his girlfriend return them. Eventually he upped his tactics and started representing himself as a representative from a manufacturer and would do a "recall" of all of stock on a particular item (swiffer wet mop cleaning pads) and he got them all and returned them to other stores.

- stinkytaco 17y agoHe lived on Home Depot gift cards?
- gscott 17y agoI forgot one of his main things was to go through the trash when they threw away items (maybe they couldn't rma them or whatever) and he would return the items to a different store. He traded the home depot cards for things, cash, trade, he pretty much lived off of it not sure what he is doing now that was awhile ago.
