your life, how can you help keep them safe? The answer here is actually pretty simple: Talk to them. Take a moment this week to tell them you’ve heard that there are a lot of gift card scams going around. Make sure they know that the government, utility companies, and other big organizations won’t ask for payment in gift cards … ever! The other thing you can do is help the authorities to track down and stop the scammers. If you get an obvious scam call or email, don’t just hang up or hit delete. Take a second to report it. Here’s some information from the FTC about how to report fraud to a gift card issuer. To report fraud directly to the FTC, go to ReportFraud.ftc.gov. And for a good overview of different types of gift card scams — as well as a short video intro to the subject — hit up ftc.gov/giftcards.
