Scam FAQ: How To Avoid BEC Business Email Compromise Scams
Be mindful of any email, phone call or text messages requesting multiple gift cards even if the request is ordinary.
Beware of sudden changes in business or personal practices and carefully scrutinize all requests for multiple gift card purchases even if requests are ordinary.
Since many of the fraudulent e-mails reported in this new trend are spoofed, confirm requests for the purchase of gift cards using two-factor authentication. If using phone verification, use previously known numbers, not the numbers provided in the e-mail request.
