The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is reporting an increase in gift card phishing scams that people are receiving around the country. Using email or text message, the scammers will pose as someone in authority asking their employees to purchase gift cards on their behalf, resulting in financial loss. 

ITS is asking all WCM staff to be on alert for similar phishing attempts. Scammers may pose as your supervisor, department administrator, directors, and even C-suite level members and deans.
