IT security tip: Avoiding and reporting gift card scams

IT security tip: Avoiding and reporting gift card scams

Cybercriminals are actively engaged in gift card scams, a social engineering tactic to persuade someone to send the criminal money or credit with a major vendor using a gift card. We encourage Node 4 readers to review the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) webpage on gift card scams as the holiday season approaches.  

If you are the victim of a gift card scam, please contact the University of Utah Police Department at 801-585-2677 or your local police. If your university account (uNID) was involved, please contact the Security Operations Center or your respective help desk as soon as possible.
