SOOOO, in case you are NOT aware let me explain my predicament:
End of August, 2023, I purchased a VISA gift card from my local grocery store WITH $100 THAT I PAID FOR THE CARD AT Publix for a birthday gift for my friend's birthday, 9/3. Well, I purchased a SCAMMED GIFT CARD... After 2 months working with Publix, their corporate office, and now VISA -- MY MONEY WENT INTO THIN-AIR AND THERE IS NO RECOURSE FOR ME THE CONSUMER BECAUSE THE CARD NUMBER IS NOT A VISA CARD NUMBER... REALLY??????????? WELL, WHO TOOK MY $100 THAT I PAID WITH FEES... WELL, THAT WAS VISA -- BUT THEY CANNOT HELP ME BECAUSE THE CARD NUMBER ON THE GIFT CARD IS NOT A VISA NUMBER.... OMG -- WHAT A COMPLETE SCAM THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE -- AND GUESS WHAT I AM THE ENTITY THAT GOT SCAMMED.... FOR YOUR ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE -- I SUGGEST YOU NEVER, EVER, EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GIFT CARD EVER -- THE LIKELIHOOD IS YOU WILL GET SCAMMED JUST LIKE I DID! I AM SO UNHAPPY... THIS IS EVER SO WRONG, TO ME THE CONSUMER!!!
