My brother purchased a {$100.00} gift card for my XXXX yo mother and mailed it to me in XXXX. On the XXXX of XXXX 2015 we tried to use the card but it had not been properly activated at the point of sale so I contacted the card issuer ( US Bank, mygiftcardsite.com, XXXX ) website and and told them the problem and they said they would activate the card after I sent them a copy of the front and back of the card along with my contact info. XXXX days later I called the toll free number and used the IVR to see if my card was activated. I discovered that the card was active and had a {$78.00} charge ( at XXXX ) put on it in XXXX California on XXXX XXXX 2015. I live in XXXX and I have the card which I received in a sealed package from my brother. I told them that I did not make the charge and they said the card had been compromised and they said they would disable the card. I asked to be transferred to a supervisor and my call was dropped. I called a XXXX time and to verify that in fact the card had been disabled and again asked to talk to a Supervisor. I was connected to someone who was garbled. I hung up. This all took at least an hour. 
A week later I received an affidavit to sign to dispute the {$78.00} charge. Today ( XXXX XXXX 2015 ) I called to get status. After waiting XXXX minutes in queue, I was told that the card had a XXXX balance. I asked how that could happen because the card was supposedly disabled on XXXX XXXX. The CSR stated that there were XXXX additional charges in California, on XXXX XXXX 2015 at XXXX {$8.00}, on XXXX XXXX at XXXX {$11.00} and XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX {$.00}. These charges came after the card was supposedly disabled and I verified that with XXXX different CSR 's on XXXX XXXX. So I had to amend the affidavit and re-fax it to the disputed center which I did today. 
I feel that this company or some of their employees are commiting fraud. I do n't know how anyone in California could have gotten the card info unless someone at the card company gave it to them. The CSR that at the dispute center ( a third party ) stated that this company ( US Bank ) has the most disputes of any of the companies that they service. Her name is XXXX and she can be reached at XXXX. I recommend you call early otherwise you will be on hold for a very long time. 

P.S. the toll free number on the gift card to call for customer service is incorrect. If you go to their website ( XXXX ) it now shows in big red letters the correct number. 

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I recommend that people send cash or a check, forget the gift card. At this point my time is wasted on this is worth much more than the {$100.00} gift to my mom. 

Thanks.
