• Gift card scam hits Giant Eagle: police warn shoppers to check cards before buying (consumeraffairs.com) — Police are investigating reports of a gift card scam at the Verona Giant Eagle, where tampered cards may be drained right after purchase. Investigators and Giant Eagle urge shoppers to closely inspect gift cards, choose cards from the back of the rack, and pay with credit so it’s easier to dispute fraudulent charges. The warning comes amid a rise in similar scams across Western Pennsylvania.
