NRP warning residents about ongoing scams involving the purchasing of gift cards.
Police say victims have reported receiving emails or texts from scammers pretending to be someone they know and asking them to purchase gift cards.
The scammer then asks the victim to scratch the back of the gift cards and send them the information on the back so the funds can be used without having the card.
Police add always be wary of anyone asking for gift cards, Bitcoin or anything online.
