I haven't heard of them. Our local new did a story this past Christmas and said that when you buy debit cards to always ask for the ones from behind the register and not pull them from the shelves. Thieves come along and have scanning devices and scan the bar codes and keep checking the #s on line and when they are activated; they take the money from them. I made sure I let my friends who get debit cards for presents all know. There should be a phone # on the back of card to call or take it back to store.
Wouldn't it be easier to open a small account with your bank with a debit/visia card. It's more secure and you can transfer money between accounts as needed. When you come back home you can close the small account. Plus some banks have their own debit cards too.
