that's one of the newer scams.
you get a email or text from someone you know, but it's not from them, asking you to spend money on something, with the promise of repayment later.
they then ask for the gift card numbers and PINS, and your money is gone.

It's reply: Hi, I am so tied up right now, Can you purchase Google play gift card 5 pieces - $100 each? I would reimburse you when am through, Let me know how you would want the payment back, either by check or cash, also i would have prefer to call you but can't receive or call at the moment with my line, i would like you to help me with it ASAP.

replied, me: "Sure, you bet, give me a call, we'll discuss."
Silencio................
Happened once before, same thing, sent to all the officers in the club, which were on the club website. Since there was no link connected I thought I'd have a little fun. Will be removing email addresses from site.
What gets me, this asshole can use one of our email addresses to send a message. The IP address from where it originated was out of Shitcago.
