So I checked the mail and saw that I got a $567 gift card from some company called FAM-Rewards. It looks suspicious. Has anyone gotten something like this or know of anyone who has? I have only gotten gift cards from the actual store or a relative has given me a gift card as a present. But it's such a weird amount.

Please. Do not try to use the card, do not, NOT open that 'FAM rewards' site.

Do you know something specific about the site?

A good rule of thumb is also that if something is too good to be true, it generally isn't true. If a company sends you an unsolicited gift card for $X you can be sure that they intend to make more than that from you one way or another - either by legal and unscrupulous means or by illegal means. In short it has SCAM written all over it.

Oh I did checked that website Fam-rewards, but didn't click on anything. I told dad about the card and I cut up the card and threw it away.
