I purchased a gift card from the Kroger by me and within two days, all the funds had been spent, save for a few dollars. How did the culprit obtain the info as well as the PIN that I set? It was one of the gift cards that’s allegedly safe because the barcode is hidden, but clearly that’s untrue.
Edit: it wasn’t an exposed gift card, I had to tear it away from a perforated envelope of cardboard and then scan it myself through self-checkout. It was one of them that is enclosed in cardboard packaging to prevent any numbers from being exposed.

Years ago, I went to check my gift card balance on line and did not pay attention to the website that was at the top of my Google search results. I went to the website and put the card number in, it said I had $50 on the card. A day or two later, I realized my mistake and went to the correct website. My card had been drained on the day I entered the info on the fake website. I had not used the card at all. It’s easy to be scammed if you don’t pay attention
