I bought XXXX {$500.00} Gift card issued by U.S. Bank National Association at XXXX 's in XXXX, CA in XXXX. I still have the physical card, original receipt. I planed to gift them to my friend for his birthday. When I checked balance before I gave them out in XXXX, They were showing less than {$20.00} on each card. Some XXXX made purchased in XXXX, Rhode Island. I have never been there and I have my cards all the time. I called customer service, a rep shut down my account and my account was under investigation. I called them back in XXXX XXXX, the operator said my case was still in investigation and there was no time frame and there was no guarantee that I would get my money back. I am worried because {$1500.00} is a lot of money. Then I started to do research online. I found out there are a lot of gift card fraud in XXXX California and US bank has very bad reputation. Some victims waited 7 months but No one got money back after investigation. 

There are a lot of victims out there like me. I attached a blog link XXXX XXXX
