"Counterfeit" Gift Cards

The title may be a little strong, but a couple of the mods at GCC have confirmed that one of the eBay sellers that I see many of you bidding on has been selling cards that have a very questionable background. Specifically, we contacted (randomly) two of the businesses that appear on these 'gift cards' and neither have ever issued a gift card in their history, and were quite upset when shown a photo of the purported gift card.

I have a very good idea of how/why these cards are created, but the fact that they're getting out of the plant and onto eBay is the potential issue. We are cooperating with the businesses to determine the source of these leaked cards, but wanted to make you guys aware that this was happening. Always be wary of auctions claiming "prototype", "sample", etc. etc. in any volume...

At this time we are not naming names, but you can always email me if you have information to contribute!
