A string of scams are taking place asking people to make payments over the phone for things such as taxes, hospital bills, bail money, debt collection, and utility bills. The scams are committed using many methods, including gift cards. As the fraudsters are sometimes requesting codes from Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards, or Apple Store Gift Cards, we want to make sure our customers are aware of these scams.

Regardless of the reason for payment, the scam follows a certain formula: The victim receives a call instilling panic and urgency to make a payment by purchasing Apple Gift Cards, App Store & iTunes Gift Cards, or Apple Store Gift Cards from the nearest retailer (convenience store, electronics retailer, etc.).

After the cards have been purchased, the victim is asked to pay by sharing the code(s) on the back of the card with the caller over the phone.

Where can I use Apple Gift Card?

It’s important to know that Apple Gift Cards and App Store & iTunes Gift Cards can be used only to purchase goods and services from Apple. Services from Apple Retail Stores, apple.com, the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, subscriptions to Apple Music, Apple News+, and Apple Arcade, or for iCloud storage.

Apple Store Gift Cards can be redeemed only on the Apple Online Store and at Apple Retail Stores.

If you’re approached to use the cards for any other payment, you could very likely be the target of a scam and should immediately report it to your local police department as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at reportfraud.ftc.gov.

Tips to avoid becoming the victim of a Gift Card Scams.

  • Do not make payment with an Apple Gift Card, App Store & iTunes Gift Card, or Apple Store Gift Card if you are NOT purchasing an item from Apple — such as from the Apple Store, iTunes Store, App Store, Apple Books, or for an Apple Music subscription or iCloud storage. There’s no other instance in which you’ll be asked to make a payment with either of these gift cards on a non apple platform.
  • Do not provide the numbers on the back of the gift card to anyone that you don’t know. please note that Once those numbers are provided to the scammers, the funds on the card will likely be spent before you are able to contact Apple or law enforcement.
  • Immediately report potential scams to your local police department as well as the FTC
  • (reportfraud.ftc.gov).
