Received a Vanilla Gift Card in the mail. Card has imprinted "gift for you" for $100. Obviously, it's a scam. Has anyone received this card and does anyone know how this scam works?

You can use it to buy an Amazon E-gift card then buy anything you want from Amazon.

If it is a scam, and it is probably not, it won’t go through to Amazon.

Did it not have any paperwork with it?
What was on the envelope?

These are very popular with the Jamaican Publishers Clearing House scammers.

Check the balance- if it’s active, spend it. You sure it’s not from a relative or friend?

Just tried, they said it can't be done. Thanks for the suggestion.

Definitely not from a friend. Definitely some sort of scam.

Take pictures of the front and back, be sure to include the numbers and remove any stickers to show the codes.

Email them to me, I'll check it out for you.

How about giving me your savings account number and I'll transfer the money to you.

As mentioned, check the balance. Don’t send anyone money who claims to have sent it to you by mistake. What else do you want to know.

. The Amazon thing doesn’t necessarily work. I bought a gift card and decided to keep it and Amazon won’t take it.

You need to call the number and check the balance. Make sure you don’t log on online to check the balance though.

It’s just a prepaid Visa gift card. You can check the balance without giving personal info
