how can they damage the magnetic strip and remove some numbers from the front of the card without opening the packet?
they opened the package in my case, did the surgery to the card (scratch off digits and damage mag strip) and put it back to the package, send it back to walmart shelf. I didn't inspect the package carefully as I assume the new package is secure. I never inspected packages before, well lesson learned.
