About scams, i don't think it is possible to misuse these cards in any way, and i am totally fine that you unbox the cards and remove all the sensitive data and send me only the plastic card itself. If it is possible to scrap the name out of the card without damaging it, i am fine with that too.
It is very possible to misuse the card. If you go and buy drugs online (hypothetical), who's identity is going to be linked to the card? The person who sold it to you.
It's not the fact that the name is ON the card, it's that it's attached to the card #.
