There are two scams going around involving gift cards.
1) someone goes to a self service register buys a gift card but does not finish the transaction. Just walks away with the gift card. Hopefully next person in line scans a few more items and pays for everything including the gift card.
2) someone takes out the gift cards in the rack and replaces them with ones they brought in. As soon as there is money on the gift card they divert it into their account.
