I think it's safe to say that any email or text requesting a gift card is
going to be a scam. I get texts occasionally purporting to be from my
broker asking me to go out and buy gift cards because 'she's tied up in a
meeting'. I sometimes play around with them, but mostly just tell them to
f*** off and block the number.
