Source: my own experience with target with the last promo during thanksgiving. Bought few apple gift cards in store. I didnt pay attention to the sticker part of the card. Several of the cards i bought had some small scrapes or imperfections in the sticker part. Thought they were just dirty due to being out in the open. That should have been a clue that they were already compromised. True enough, about 6 minutes after I activated the card on the Target self check out kiosk, they were drained. Mind you, i have not opened the card yet they were drained of its accounts.
Tried to get a refund because of this. Called Apple: they said, yep, were activated and drained by a fraud apple ID. Call target instead to get refund. I called target: they said call Apple instead because we already activated the card correctly. I think there were at least 3 more people from the previous deal thread who had the same experience.

It appeared neither Apple nor Target wanted to take responsibility.

I know because last week I bought my Apple gift cards from a grocery store (to get 6% Amex blu cash pref rewards). After checkout, still in the store, I immediately used the codes to purchase a MacBook from my phone to ensure the cards worked, and the staff could assist if anything was amiss. Guess this was a good idea.
Anyway the only way I can think of is if the scammers worked for the store selling the gift cards and they had some lighting technique to shine through the envelope.
Also, couldnt the scammers be tracked by the codes and the purchase shipping addresses? Unless they rented PO Boxes or some shit.
Hope he didn't have a problem. They were not well protected. No ripping required.
