If they demand gift cards, IT'S A SCAM. 🛑 No legit business asks for gift card PINs. Pause, verify, and protect your money with Block Guard's local-only caller ID and scam alerts.

​A promotional graphic for the Block Guard app warning against phone scams. The background blends a dark blue gradient on the left into a slightly blurred retail store environment on the right, focusing on a gift card display rack. ​Attached to the rack is a bright yellow sign with a black caution triangle reading, "SCAM RISK: Don't share gift card info over the phone." Hanging below are four generic gift cards with gift box graphics: a $100 blue card, a $50 red card, a $25 green card, and a $50 purple card. Further down are two red warning stickers. One displays a barcode and reads "DO NOT SHARE PIN OR CARD NUMBER," and the other features a white padlock icon stating "TAMPER EVIDENT." ​In the top left is the Block Guard logo: a silver and green shield with a phone. Below this is a massive headline: "IF THEY WANT" in white, "GIFT CARDS," in large yellow text, "IT'S" in white, and "A SCAM." in bold red letters. ​Underneath is a teal icon of a government building. Beside it, text reads: "FTC guidance says no real business or government agency will call and demand gift card numbers or PINs." The phrase "no real business or government agency" is teal. ​A dark panel below has a yellow top banner reading "HOW BLOCK GUARD HELPS" with three features: ​A green phone icon next to green text "Scam call alerts" and white text "help warn you before you trust a payment demand." ​An orange profile icon next to orange text "Caller ID warnings" and white text "help you slow down when a suspicious caller pushes urgency." ​A blue shield icon next to blue text "Spam blocking" and white text "helps stop scam calls before they reach you." ​At the bottom is a checkmark next to the text: "Pause. Verify. Protect your money." with "Verify." in yellow. Below is a green button for "blockguard.app" and a "GET IT ON Google Play" badge. Faint text says, "Fact based on FTC guidance."

No real company asks you to fix a problem by buying gift cards. Not Microsoft, not the IRS, not your bank, not Amazon. Gift cards are the untraceable, refund-proof currency of scammers. The second gift cards enter the conversation, you are being robbed.

Visa defeats lawsuit over ’card draining’ Vanilla gift card scam
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Visa defeated a proposed class action lawsuit on Monday by consumers who accused the world’s largest card payments network of failing to warn that its prepaid "Vanilla" gift cards were susceptible to being drained by thieves. U.S. District Judge Gregory Woods in Manhattan said it was unreasonable for consumers to consider gift cards impervious to scams, or that Visa (NYSE:V)’s logo amounted to a promise that no scams would occur and the company would help victims. Woods also rejected a claim that Visa provided inadequate warnings on the cards’ packaging about possible tampering, citing news coverage of "card draining" and comments in online forums about Visa Vanilla scams. "No reasonable consumer would expect the allegedly ’widespread’ practice of third-party scams affecting prepaid cards to somehow not affect one of the industry’s major suppliers," the judge wrote. The lead plaintiff, Ira Schuman, of Scarsdale, New York, sued Visa and two Vanilla card issuers in January 2024, after learning that eight $500 cards he bought as holiday gifts for employees in 2022 and 2023 had been emptied. He said non-reloadable Vanilla cards sold at CVS, Target, Walgreens and other retailers came in thin cardboard sleeves that thieves could open and reseal, without being detected, after recording account information. Lawyers for Schuman did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Visa, based in San Francisco, and its lawyers did not immediately respond to similar requests. The case is Schuman v Visa USA Inc et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 24-00666.
