Expert Opinion
Imagine receiving a message that claims to be from your boss, urging you to buy gift cards for a "team"—only to discover it’s a classic scam. The caller is masquerading as a former executive to exploit trust and capture card numbers. Verify any unusual requests through a known channel before acting; never share PINs or card details over text. Keep employee contact lists secure and limit who can access them. Educate staff to treat any sudden financial demand with suspicion, especially when it involves prepaid cards. If you suspect fraud, report the number to your carrier and relevant authorities.
