Typically, this favor entails purchasing gift cards from a store and sending pictures of the activation codes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Why does this deception succeed?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The ploy preys on the innate human tendency to assist those in perceived positions of authority and distress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">How does it unfold?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">The scammer adopts the persona of an authoritative figure and solicits assistance in the form of gift card purchases.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Once the victim submits images of the gift card codes, the scammer promptly redeems them, leaving no trace. Unfortunately, gift card transactions are irreversible and untraceable.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Recognizing the Warning Signs:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Pay attention to discrepancies between the display name and the email address, which are often generic accounts from free email providers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Be wary of requests for gift cards, especially under peculiar pretexts like a relative&#8217;s birthday.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Watch out for key phrases such as &#8220;Are you available?&#8221;, &#8220;I need a favor,&#8221; &#8220;I am in a meeting,&#8221; or &#8220;I cannot call, I can only email&#8221;.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What steps should you take if you receive such an email?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">Reach out to the supposed sender via their official Chapman University email or Microsoft Teams messaging.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">If suspicions arise, forward the questionable email to <a href=\"mailto:abuse@chapman.edu\">abuse@chapman.edu<\/a> for investigation. Rest assured, your concerns will be addressed promptly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\">As a general guideline, refrain from disclosing payment information or sensitive data via
