LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The Nevada attorney general says he is participating in a nationwide public service announcement trying to protect consumers from gift card scams.
“Gift card scams exploit trust and urgency, and too many Nevadans are paying the price,” Ford said. “This public service announcement was created to help consumers recognize the warning signs, protect their money, and report fraud before more harm is done. If someone asks you to pay with gift cards, it is a scam, and we want to hear about it.”
The multi-state PSA runs through Dec. 26 to Jan. 31, Ford’s office says. The message? “Gift cards are safe when used responsibly, but consumers must remain vigilant against fraud.”
Ford says consumers who may have been targeted by a gift card scam are urged to contact the Nevada Attorney General’s Office.
Attorney General Ford joins attorneys general from Arkansas, Kentucky, Delaware, Michigan, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, and Washington in this coordinated effort to raise consumer awareness and prevent financial harm during a peak gift card usage period.
