Dear Editor,
On Dec. 2, I bought a $100 gift card for Home Depot from a local drug store.
I mailed the card and the receipt to my daughter and her partner in Kamloops.
They tried to use it this past week, but the store said it didn’t work.

The card was scanned by some unknown group of people who took cars scanned them for themselves. Thus, the illegal cars were put back on the kiosk.
A lot of people have been scammed like me.
Eventually they will get a refund.
There’s a simple solution.
Talk to the RCMP about moving all the kiosks to behind the counter in the stores.
This would save time, instead of employees having to check the hundreds of gift cards every day or so.
And maybe, this will deter these criminal and stop this despicable act.
