A suburban woman found some of the American Express gift cards she had purchased and gave out had already been used, or had balances missing.
"Each person's gift card was declined," Shelton said.
Recently, Shelton gave out some of the gift cards while meeting business associates at a pub, but those recipients told her the cards didn't have money on them. Shelton said her co-worker put the card numbers into American Express's website and found out where some of the money had gone. One $100 gift card was used weeks earlier to buy a gaming app and $70 worth of Taco Bell in California. Others were used for PayPal purchases and gas.
The companies added, "Fraud prevention is a top priority, and our dedicated fraud teams are constantly monitoring for new and emerging threats so we can develop advanced methods for protecting cardholders."
