    However, experts agree that there are three other gift card scams that pose a much bigger danger this Christmas season:

    - Online auction websites where scammers offer used, fraudulent and counterfeit gift cards for sale.

    - Online auction websites where scammers use stolen credit cards to buy real gift cards they sell for cash.

    - Websites (both online auction and other ecommerce and classified sites) where scammers overstate the value of authentic gift cards so that buyers get cards worth less than they expect.

    In other words, auction gift card scams now pose a much bigger threat than what you've been hearing on the news about gift cards displayed on public racks in stores.
