during Christmas time to get a piece of furniture for my reading nook, which I think I've been telling y'all that I wanted to get.

And I was excited and we just finished like unwrapping gifts.

I mean, me, my son and him.

And I just wasn't really, you know, I was in the Christmas spirit.

So I was, my guard was down essentially.

So I was like, okay, let me quickly check.

Cause I didn't know initially how much was on the gift card.

Let me see how much I have to put towards this new

you know, beanbag or sofa.

So I look on the gift card and actually I don't think I've gotten a gift card before because I was like, I think I need to activate it.

So I looked for activation number and then I saw a website.

So I missed the website by one letter, but I didn't know at the time.

And it takes me to this website.

So I enter all my gift card information, trying to see the balance and activate the gift card.

And then something told me like, is this the right website?

Because it just looked like one of these kind of, I don't know, just not a very familiar website.

First of all, I had never heard about it because it was a Visa gift card.

And I'm like, shouldn't I be able to do this on the Visa website?

And then second, it just literally only asked for my information.

There was nothing else on there.
