1) If you are asked by anyone to purchase gift cards and send them to someone, take a picture of them and send the picture to someone etc. (ANYTHING WITH GIFT CARDS) even if you "know" the person making the request, always check with the person that requested them. There is a good chance the request will come from someone you "know" but in reality, a bad actor is pretending to be that person you trust. Scammers will use phone calls, text messages, emails and USPS to run these scams.

2) Never click on links in emails that you receive unless you are expecting the email and you know that it is a legit email from someone you know or a business you trust. There are so many instances of people's computers and other electronic devices being hacked because of clicking on links. If you question whether the email is legit, contact the person or business sending the email before proceeding. If you hover your cursor over the link on a computer you will be able to see the address that the link is going to take you to. If it doesn't match the sender never click on the link.
