 Once those codes are provided to somebody, that money becomes untraceable. We have a handful of scams out there that involve the use of gift cards or prepaid cards. Probably the most popular and one of the oldest one is the IRS scam, where they're contacting you on the phone, tell it you're behind on your taxes, there's a worn out for your rest, and they actually make you fear that there's a possibility you may be arrested. They require you to go to the nearest grocery store and get the prepaid cards or the iTunes cards that have numbers on the back that you have to scratch off the tab to get to those codes. Once you text or email these codes off the back of the cards, that money's long gone. Number one thing is the IRS is not gonna contact you by phone. The IRS gets hold by mail. They're not gonna threaten to put you in jail, and they're definitely not gonna ask you to go to the grocery store and buy prepaid cards. So if someone asks you to do that, you know it's a scam. Hang up, educate your friends and family, and don't fall into the trap.
