Gift Cards

My Aunt Linda emailed me this information. I don't know how true it is, but I thought I would pass it along just in case.

"Well the crooks have found a way to rob you of your gift card balance.

If you buy Gift Cards from a display rack that has various store cards you
may become a victim of theft. Crooks are now jotting down the card
numbers in the store and then wait a few days and call to see how much of
a balance THEY have on the card. Once they find the card is "activated",
they go online and start shopping. You may want to purchase your card from a customer service person, where they do not have the Gift Cards viewable to the public."

Thanks for the warning!
Some people will do anything to cheat.

Interesting. . . I never had thought about that one. Oh, and by the way we have started our book. We are reading a few pages every night. It will be a slow read, but I think it will help us to learn together. Thanks for asking,
Trisha

Sorry, I read what I posted and didn't know if I was clear. We are reading Love and Repect and we are taking turns reading it out loud.

Trisha,
Ben and I started reading it out loud together too - but when he started grad school he had too much other reading to do to keep up with me. :) I ended up finishing it by myself. I think reading together as a couple is GREAT!
