Was offering a $500 Walmart gift card. I didn't reply as I was sure it was a scam.

The email I received was manipulated disguised as a relative. The email used full name of relative followed by 3 numbers and an @outlook.com account. The request was for me to purchase an Amazon Gift Card because he has not been able to find one or order one because they’re not available anywhere. I did notice the @outlook.com had suddenly became a @yahoo.com email address. It’s the same story I saw another person describe.

Friend, lost both parents to Covid-19, has Stage 3 breast cancer and it’s her birthday soon. Would like to put a smile on her face.

I knew something just didn’t sound right so told the author, “Call me. You have my number.” It’s always the same story. Phone in area with poor service. Gotcha!

(My favorite is when I ask for a selfie”, camera on the phone is always broke. The selfie is a great way of detecting a hacker using a Messenger connection for fraud.)

It is called WalMart Service Management Group. Where they send you a check for 2,470.29 to be deposited into your own account and then you use the money to buy the 4 gift cards, totaling $2,000.Then when done you send a text to this #442 600 7442. You then get your next assignment. The Task Coordinator is William Karvonen

I responded to an ad on craigslist to purchase a Lowe Fishing Boat for $3000. The only way to contact the seller was through craigslist email because the phone number provided didn't work. I was told by email that the seller wanted to complete the transaction through amazon pay. I received an email from amazon pay and accepted the offer. I was then instructed to go to any store and purchase $3000 worth of amazon gift cards and then provide the serial numbers to them. I then looked in surrounding areas and found the same boat on craigslist in at least four different states. Slightly different descriptions but same photos. States include Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon. This was a totally bogus Amazon Pay web site that appeared authentic until I read the fine print and noticed grammatical errors. There is much advice both on craigslist and on Amazon.com on how to avoid scams. Read and take heed.

the listed phone number (513-449-6029) called my phone and said I will receive a $100.00 gift card if I give them a credit card number to pay a $1.95 fee. I spoke to a representative and asked to be placed on a "no call" list and they said they could not do that.
