Gift Card Fraud
Overview
Online
Description
Fraudsters love gift cards because they are easy to cash in and virtually untraceable. Generally, gift cards do not contain any personal information linking them to the legitimate purchaser or recipient. Therefore, anyone who has the card number and PIN can use the gift card or sell it for cash. Fraudsters can sell gift cards on websites like eBay or Craigslist, and there are many online gift card resellers that pay cash for gift cards and sell them at a discount.
This course discusses the most common types of gift card scams as well as tips for preventing them.
