In these scams, criminals convince targets that they need to purchase a gift card, sometimes called an electronic voucher, to pay bills, taxes, or some other financial obligation. The fraudster asks for the information on the back of the card so they can collect the prepaid value or some other financial obligation. Do not fall victim to these scams. Contact your local police department for any concerns you might have about anyone that attempts to contact you about gift cards or anything else that seems suspicious.
