GET HELP

We want to help you recognize and avoid gift card scams. Scams vary in approach, but generally follow the same pattern of reaching out to you via phone, email, social media, direct mail, or online and creating a sense of urgency, like a family emergency or past due bill. They ask for payment using gift cards, and they direct you to purchase gift cards online or at a nearby store. Then, the scammer instructs you to provide the gift card number and PIN via phone, text message, or email before disappearing.

Here are some tips and resources to help you guard against scams:

• Do not use Nike Gift Cards for payment outside of Nike or Converse. Nike Gift Cards can only be used to purchase Nike and Converse products and services. Nike Gift Cards should never be used to make payments to other individuals or businesses.
• Do not provide any gift card details, like the card number or PIN, to anyone you do not know or trust. Treat your gift card like cash. Once card details are shared with a scammer, the funds are usually spent immediately.
• Do not purchase a gift card if it appears to have been tampered with, or if the PIN is exposed.
