There's also an interesting sub-class of this scam that targets employees of certain size companies. Due to anti-bribery laws/rules/regulations gifts of cash to other companies are usually forbidden (and every employee with an expenditures line should generally be very aware of that), but non-cash redeemable gift cards are often still seen as fair "gifts" for various types of incentives/thanks/congratulations efforts. So gift card scams are sometimes even more effective for corporate employees, because corporations already abuse gift cards as a grease currency, and some corporate employees are very used to buying strange amounts of gift cards and giving them out in strange ways.
