To protect against similar scams, consumers should verify the legitimacy of gift card purchasing websites by checking domain registration dates, reading independent reviews, and confirming business licenses through state regulatory agencies. If contacted by suspicious entities offering to purchase gift cards, hang up immediately, do not click any links in emails or text messages, and never provide gift card numbers or codes to unknown parties. Report suspected fraud to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or file complaints with the FCC for phone-based solicitations. Consumers can verify the safety of domains and phone numbers by checking community-reported scam databases and consulting with the Better Business Bureau.
