Mrs107's mate has just received a Body Shop gift card in the post, for those that don't know these things look just like a credit card & you as the receiver of the card can add extra  funds to it (on top of what ever the gifted funds are) and use it s a store type card. You can keep the card & over time continue to add funds.

Now Ms ***** received one in the post today addressed to her with the envelope being handwritten, she is lets just say well on the ball & noted the post mark/stamp as being serbian.

I'm guessing there will be a couple of £ on the card, you then go on-line to register the card, (more than likely requiring bank details) you will add funds if being a gullible bod.

I see this one working one of two ways;

  1. you add bank details & they snatch them then empty your account.
  2. You add funds to your card, they have a cloned card. your added funds pings up their end they then spend your funds asap online at Body shop & get the goods that they then sell at a knock off price.
