Scammer , posing as Elon Musk , used flattery, fake urgency and a convincing profile to lure the victim into a carefully staged hoax.

The woman from Jensen Beach , Florida , wrote us saying, "He kept telling me it was my lucky day. I had just won a new white Tesla and $ 250,000 in cash" Scammers often claim that the cards are needed to cover fees, unlock a prize or verify your identity.

If a message or ad involves a celebrity offering free money, discounted products or special access to a private opportunity, it is almost certainly a scam.

Never send gift card codes to anyone you do not know.

Be skeptical of prize claims from celebrity accounts.
