Tips to avoid fraud with MoneyPak, gift cards, and other money transfer services:
• Never give a MoneyPak or gift card number, or send money using a money transfer service like PayPal or MoneyGram to anyone you don’t know and trust.
• Fraudsters commonly use products like these to steal your money because once you’ve sent them the information they need to collect the money, it’s very difficult for you to get it back.
• The federal government, the IRS, law enforcement agencies, debt collectors or utilities companies will NEVER ask you to make a payment with a MoneyPak, gift card, or money transfer service. If you get a call from a business or government agency requesting payment, hang up and call the business directly.
• Scammers can be extremely convincing and will play on your fears and sympathies to try to get you to cooperate. Don’t let them scare or bully you. • See some examples of MoneyPak scams.
