Asked to pay by Gift Card? STOP

Legitimate businesses and government agencies will never ask you to buy or pay with Gift Cards.

If someone asks you to urgently buy a gift card, and give them the 16- digit code and PIN

STOP. It’s a scam.

Scammers pretend to be people you know or from an organisation you trust. The scammer demands payment of fines, bills, goods or services using gift cards.

Gift cards are for gifts, not for payments.

If you pay someone using a gift card it may be impossible to get your money back.
