THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US.
YOU SWIPE, THEY STRIKE.
80% OF HOLIDAY SHOPPERS SNATCHING UP GIFT CARDS THIS YEAR, AND DON’T SCAMMERS KNOW IT.
NOW THEY’RE COMING UP WITH NEW WAYS TO RIP YOU OFF TO SECURITY ANALYST ON WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR.
I HAVE MY OWN LIST ON WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR.
I’M ESPECIALLY CAUTION OF DISCOUNTED GIFT CARDS THAT MAY BE AT AUCTION SITES.
ESPECIALLY USED CARDS.
YOU USUALLY DO BUSINESS WITH THOSE YOU KNOW AND LIKE AND TRUST WITH ESTABLISHED REPUTATIONS.
I WOULD BE WARE OF UNSOLICITED WEB OFFERS IN THE MAIL OR ON THE WEB.
WOULDN’T TOUCH IF WITH A TEN-FOOT POLE.
CERTAINLY IF YOU RECEIVE AN E-MAIL THAT HAS A TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE OFFER FOR A GIFT CARD OR A POPUP FOR THAT MATTER, CHANCES ARE IT’S A SCAM.
IS IT COMMAND? ARE THE SCAMMERS REALLY OUT THERE LOOKING AT GIFT CARDS IN PARTICULAR? THERE ARE BAD GUYS OUT THERE IN FULL FORCE, 24/7, 36 5 ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, AND GIFT CARDS ARE FORM OFT CASH, AND ULTIMATELY THEY KNOW THEY CAN TURN THAT OPPORTUNITY INTO CASH FOR THEMSELVES.
SO WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT.
HERE’S WHAT REALLY WORRIES ME.
I WOULD NEVER GIVE ANY KIND OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IN RETURN FOR A GIFT CARD.
I DON’T JUST LOSE MONEY WITH THAT.
I COULD LOSE — IDENTITY THEFT IS WHAT IS WRAPPED UP IN THAT.
CORRECT.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE GIVING UTE, SAY, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER IN EXCHANGE FOR A GIFT CARD.
SOMETIMES THERE MIGHT BE CONTESTS OF SOME SORT THAT MIGHT ASK FOR ADDITIONAL PERSONAL INFORMATION, NAMES, ADDRESSES, PHONE NUMBERS AND SO FORTH.
GENERALLY IF YOU’RE GOING TO BUY A GIFT CAR.
IT MIGHT REQUIRE A CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND THAT’S ABOUT IT.
AM I RIGHT IN SAYING THAT SOME OF THESE STORES, LIKE A RETAILER, WHO OFFERS THESE GIFT CARDS, THEY KEEP THE MONEY IF THE GIFT CARD IS NOT USED.
YOU DON’T GET IT BACK IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
WELL YOU DO NEED TO LOOK AT THE TERMS OF SERVICE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WITH EACH CARD, MAKING SURE THEY ARE — THEY DON’T EXPIRE, THAT YOU USE IT BEFORE THAT MIGHT OCCUR, AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE DOING BUSINESS WITH ARE REPUTABLE STORE THAT ISN’T ESSENTIALLY GOING TO CANCEL THAT CARD ON YOU WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
WRAP IT UP FOR ME.
SHY REALLY BE THAT WORRIED? SO, I DON’T WORRY ABOUT ANY OF THIS STUFF.
WHAT I DO IS I MAKE SURE THAT MY PC HAS UPDATED ANTIVIRUS, ANTISPY WARE, A FIRE WALL, ONLY DO BUSINESS WITH ORGANIZATIONS I CAN TRUST.
AM SEWN — AMAZON OR BEST BUY.
USE THIS CARDS QUICKLY IN CASE BAD GUYS HAVE ACCESS TO INFORMATION ON THEM.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

FORGET TAPPED OUT.
