Beware of Gift Card Scams
Here are two popular gift card scams you should be aware of:
Grandparent Gift Card Scam
There is a growing problem with gift card scams targeted at Grand Parents.
In this scam, the scammer will call a victim and indicate that a loved one is in some sort of trouble – for example, kidnapped, arrested, etc..
Sometimes, the scammer pretends to be a lawyer or the loved one themselves and asks directly for money.
The scammer then instructs the victim to purchase gift cards and give the gift card numbers to the scammer over the phone.
The Tech Support Gift Card Scam
Perpetrators of tech support scams try to trick victims into believing their computers are infected and they need help.
Some scammers pretend to be connected with reputable companies like Microsoft, and Apple, or a familiar security software company such as Norton or McAfee.
The scammer will claim to have detected malware that poses an imminent threat to the person’s computer.
Additionally, other scams feature planted website ads or pop-ups that display warning messages, some even featuring a clock ticking down the minutes before the victim’s hard drive will be destroyed by a virus — unless he or she calls a toll-free number for assistance in deactivating the menace.
Such scammers will often ask for remote access to your computer to run phony diagnostic tests and pretend to discover defects in need of fixing.
They’ll pressure you to pay for unnecessary repairs or new software and ask for payment via gift cards.
How to Report Gift Card Scams
If you feel that you have been defrauded, you may want to contact the Federal Trade Commission or the Consumer Fraud Division of your state’s Attorney General’s office.
