Scammers pretending to represent the IRS demand immediate payment of overdue taxes via gift cards. The IRS never asks for payment by gift cards.
- 2. Tech Support Scam
Fraudulent tech support agents claim your device needs urgent repairs and demand payment by gift card. Legitimate tech support never requests gift cards as payment.
- 3. Romance Scam
Scammers pretending to have romantic feelings convince you to send gift cards as "proof" of affection or for emergencies. Never send gift cards to individuals you've never met in person.
- 4. Lottery and Prize Scam
Scammers claim you've won a lottery or prize but must pay fees with gift cards to collect winnings. Legitimate contests never require payment in gift cards for prize redemption.
- 5. Family Emergency Scam
Imposters posing as family members or friends in distress request immediate financial help via gift cards. Always verify directly with the actual person by contacting them through trusted channels.
- 6. Online Marketplace Scam
Fraudsters selling goods online demand payment upfront via gift cards. Always use secure and verifiable payment methods provided by the platform itself.
