Employees do play a role in this, whether at the post office, as the next post will show, or at restaurants and even cashiers at retail stores. I don't want to generalize about all employees but there are a few bad apples out there that help perpetuate gift card fraud. Austin, good point.

Gift card scams are rampant, and it's difficult to track how much fraud happens. I studied Criminology back at UCI, and it's a case of white collar crime. A lot of times, the culprits are employees who have access and the knowledge about the company and the fraud they are committing. Many time, the statistics that are reported are only a fraction of the loss that occurs. I'm curious to the see the other parts of your series! Great post.
