Description

I received a Visa Gift Card purchased as a gift. The card must be registered with prepaidgiftbalance.com, however, card is not able to be registered. The company tells me someone already tried to use the card so it is not valid, yet they show a $100 balance on card. Called the company 13 times, faxed a copy of the card with my driver's license (shouldn't have sent my ID) as they required, mailed in a copy of the card with my name and address as they required. Each call to the company is the same lie, they didn't receive my information and will not reissue the card to me. I read hundreds of reviews online about this scam and one review suggested filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, so I did. I asked the rep in one of the calls where he lives and he replied The Philippines. Please issue warning about this scam. These scammers are raking in millions of dollars stealing well intended gifts for loved ones. Thank you.
