For anybody wondering how these Scammers actually make money off of this. They sell the Gift Cards/Gift Card Accounts on the black market for actual cash. To a decent person, selling a Gift Card worth $100 for $80 seems like a loss, but to a Scammer, this is pure profit as they won't have originally paid ANYTHING for the Gift Card. I felt the need to mention this here as - to my knowledge - she doesn't mention this aspect in the video.

When scamners call and ask you to urchase a gift card for: to PAY for a lottery you didn't enter, a IRS tax you need to pay before you go to jail, etc. Ask them WHATS MY NAME ? Usually they don't have your name and if they do, say where do I live? THEY NEVER KNOW BECAUSE THEY GET YOYR NAME ONLINE. Thats all they have. They cannot cancel your Social Security number thats impossible. HANG UP!!!! NEVER GIVE ANY INFO AS U WILL BE ON THEIR SUCKER LIST.

This is most always an inside job of store you bought it at .the one im talking about is when you buy a legit gift card at store and dont check immediately to check the number on reciept matches the number and amount you purchased . Inside store scammers have put it back on shelf and know when its bought so they can register it to a name and steal the value of the card . Because they already scratched and replaced the coating

This out of date. Now they steal your money the instant you buy the card. Don't buy gift cards until they fix this.
