The Gift Card Fraud Prevention Alliance (GCFPA) today announced 14 state attorneys general (AGs) from across the United States have come together to launch a nationwide public service announcement (PSA) aimed at educating consumers about the threat of gift card fraud. This collaborative effort comes as millions of Americans prepare to redeem gift cards received during the holiday season—a prime opportunity for scammers to target unsuspecting individuals.
You can watch the PSA below:
The PSAs will run December 26, 2025, through January 31, 2026, and feature a unified message from state AGs that gift cards are safe while urging consumers to remain vigilant against gift card scams. The campaign highlights common fraud tactics, offers tips for safe gift card usage, and encourages the public to immediately report any incidents of gift card fraud to their respective state attorney general offices.
The GCFPA and participating AGs urge consumers to reject unsolicited demands for gift card payments, refrain from sharing gift card numbers or PINs with untrusted sources, check gift card balances only through retailers’ official websites and inspect packaging for signs of tampering. Consumers whose gift cards are drained or have been scammed should report the incident to their state attorney general’s office.
Participating AGs include:
Arkansas: Tim Griffin
Kentucky: Russell Coleman
Delaware: Kathy Jennings
Michigan: Dana Nessel
District of Columbia: Brian L. Schwalb
Nevada: Aaron Ford
Georgia: Chris Carr
Oregon: Dan Rayfield
Illinois: Kwame Raoul
Pennsylvania: Dave Sunday
Iowa: Brenna Bird
South Dakota: Marty Jackley
Kansas: Kris Kobach
