CALLERS POSING AS ATF AGENTS USE 'APPLE GIFT CARDS' SCAM

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) warns the public about scammers pretending to be federal agents demanding Apple gift cards of $500 or $1,000 to "clear red flags" from accounts, stressing that real federal agencies never ask for payments via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency.
