Walmarts are notorious for criminal activity.
Anyone who steals a credit card runs straight to Walmart to by gift cards. And Walmart employees don’t check ID or anything.
They can’t check ID for that.
There is a limit on gift cards in total.
But that’s not a guarantee against fraud.
Thieves often run to fast food and gas stations ⛽⛽⛽ hoping to get ahead of the card being shut down.
It’s not just Walmart.
