You can review the Support Article here and also use the contact link for Apple:
Although I suspect the problem is that you were scammed right in the store where you purchased it, and Apple may not help with that. If you purchased it on a rack that is available to anyone else to tamper with them, then the store failed to protect your purchase. The scammer had taken a bunch of cards off the rack and scratched the sticker to reveal the code and replaced the sticker with one easily obtained from Amazon. All they had to do is wait for you to take the card to the check stand and activate it, where they could spend the balance before you could. In the future, only purchase Gift Cards from retailers that secure the cards behind a counter.
Ironically many of these same retailers will lock up products where they can lose money from theft, but don't have the same concern when it is their customers that are targeted in their stores.
