Officials Warning NH Residents About Gift Card Scam

State officials are warning New Hampshire residents about an ongoing scam involving gift cards.

Scammers are going into stores and stealing hundreds of gift cards off the shelves.

From there, they record the card number and find the PIN code before placing them back on the shelves, so it looks like they’re unused.

They then monitor usage of the cards and as soon as money is put on them, those funds are stolen.

Overseas criminal organizations are mostly behind these scams.
