If this was a Gift Card that you purchased and found out that it was empty when you attempted to redeem it, then it was likely purchased it from a retailer where they display the Gift Cards on a rack where they are accessible to the public, and it was redeemed shortly after you activated it in the check stand. Retailers are very aware that people in their stores are taking Gift Cards off of those racks and peeling the sticker off and writing the code down. They can easily replace the sticker with one purchased from Amazon and return the cards to the rack and wait for the store's customers to activate them.

Ironically those same stores will lock up products that they sell to prevent theft, but when it comes to their customers getting scammed in their stores, they don't seem to care at all. Since they are responsible for securing the Gift Cards, I would escalate the matter with the retailer and their corporate offices. In the future, only buy Gift Cards when they are secured behind a counter or purchase them from the Apple directly.
