That happend to my grandparents a while ago right after i left their house one day from visiting, i very rarely see them and it was odd timing, i wondered if they somehow knew i was there and left at that time?

[@markrothenberg9867]

This scam happened to my late step-mother who was in the process of sending $7,500 cash but told the postal rep she was sending cash and they said that is not legal. So my step-mother went home with cash worried I was in jail in another state. She was lucky but other victims are not.

[@SineN0mine3]

If they actually had been arrested they probably wouldn't be allowed to use their mobile phones. The victims understand that due to the circumstances they can't contact the family member who's in trouble. Obviously the scammer pushes the point aggressively, threatening to hurt the victim's relative if they don't cooperate and stay on the phone as well. Scammers know that the victim knows there's a chance that they're lying, so they'll raise the stakes until the victim feels like they'd be taking too much of a risk to ignore the scammer. It's one thing if you think your family member is in legal trouble, it's another if you think the cops are dirty and holding them hostage. They're preying on what people don't know and using that to manipulate them. Imagine if your family member was in a life or death situation and you decided that the person who called you was a scammer, and as a result of your inaction the person was seriously hurt or killed. Obviously that's extremely unlikely, but it's such an extremely unpleasant thought that it affects some people's better judgement.

They really thought that made sense? Buying gift cards for anything legitimate?

[@SineN0mine3]

​@@Pepesmallit's crazy that people still don't notice this is suspicious when this has been the main form of scam payment since the invention of the redeemable giftcard. Once upon a time scammers actually had to convince people to mail them cash, and also had to maintain a covert post box if they're operating locally. It's ridiculous that gift cards are still legal when they provide zero utility to anybody trying to make legitimate purchases. It's clear to anyone with a brain that a gift of cash is infinitely more useful than a gift card. Besides scammers, they also benefit major retail chains (who don't need the easy win) when the recipient inevitably fails to redeem the card in full before it expires. We really don't need them to exist.

[@nobody7817]

Walmart Gift cards???? You would have known... if not... lol wow. I mean, I had "Joseph Smith" a "Police Officer in the IRS" from the State of Washington DC who was going to have me arrested for tax evasion if I didn't pay some over-due taxes with Walmart Credit cards. I was 50 at the time, and I really just sat back and had fun with that, giving him an invalid SSN (not even enough digits in it) and listen to him as he looked me up and found me and said that I owed $8,000 in back taxes.... then about 4 hours into it he realized there wasn't enough digits in the SSN I gave him, and he was like, wait, you gave me the wrong SSN.
