My prepaid card been compromised
yesterday my father gave me a Prepaid "Securespend" Card with $60 on it, i used it to buy some vr games to play once i got my Cord for my quest 2, at first The card was not working and to be expected as this happens with every prepaid card i used on this account, but iv never used a secure spend one before so i thought i had to activate it on their site, Once i googled the card company i clicked the first one as it was (not going to post link so it was securespend (d o t) org), the site redirected me to something called zeedvalue and the site looked very real and legit and was really hard to tell if the site was fake with the only give away was the URL, it which is pretty scary but once i put everything in it Redirected me to giftcard (dot) com, already that put me off, later i used the card to buy the games then went to see if I could use it back on their site to see the balanced but then it was when i realized it was prob a scam after it was not loading then redirected me to a whole different site (securespend www) . I tried to call the company that either their sites been hijacked or someone is using a fake link. but no one was in office at the time, even scarier is they might have my location or possible other information from loading into the site which means they have payment information and might have some personal information that could be used to steal my account, This had me up all night as i have no idea what I need to do because this is a prepaid card which means you can not put information on it so its going to be hard to tell steam or the card company to know its you, the only thing i have is the physical card but that can be flagged as stolen. I am not going to go back on the site but it scares me that they might be able to steal my account or flag my account for fraud. What should i do?

The card should get activated "automatically" in between the day after purchase.

No action needed.
From what i read.

I recommend to call the company you bought it from or the company it is from, to ask if the site you used is theirs. What is kind of strange, that the site you used seemed to have asked for stuff to activate the card? That does not fit the first description.

Its reason enough to ask the real company about it.

Im doing that rn and just found out the remaining money is gone.
By looking at that page, i got the impression i would not use it. Even if it was associated.
Contact gave no info but a 404.
No impressum.
There are several other red flags. You must check with the real company.
Several things are not what a real company would (have to) refer to.

Like i said the page became different after i went back on But i would advise no one to go on that site as it could be infected

There a ton of phishing sites online, ranging from stealing social accounts, emails, game accounts, and so much more.

If you ever get a pre paid card, always read the back of the card, or paper it came with inside the package that should have the link to their site so don't get directed to a fake site when try to google search for said company.

My advice contact pre paid card company, get them to chargeback on the scammers that took your money.

If pre paid card doesn't work on Steam, try using PayPal with the card, or but game keys can use tool site isthereanydeal.com to help find deals from trusted retailers.
