<prompt> Human: My grandma got a call from a phone scammer impersonating me saying that I had been in an accident in FLA and was over the legal limit and blah blah blah I needed 2,500 asap. They told her to get a target gift card and read them the numbers from the target gift card over the phone and theyd call again the next day to let her know they were out of jail. They called the next day and needed 2,500 more for their lawyers fee and flight home and she ran back to target to snag another gift card for them. She put both of the gift cards on her credit card and the only information she gave them was purely the gift card numbers. Is there anything at all we can try to do to recover her funds or is it too late at this point? She only gave them the gift card info just yesterday and this morning I believe but Im sure its already been spent at this point. Update: After that panic, a quick call to the credit card company put us through to the fraud dept and they got the charges reversed with ease! Thanks for your tips! Assistant: You should contact customer service at Target. Explain the situation and see if those gift cards can be tracked. If they were used in a store, maybe there is camera footage. If online, maybe the shipping address? Call the credit card company. Call the phone company. Call the police and file a report. Try everything. There may be a way to catch them andor get that money back.Human: Calling the credit card company fixed it! They were able to put us through to their fraud department and refund the charge to her credit card.  <response>: I wouldnt celebrate yet. Its only a temporary credit until they resolve it. If they cant get all the money back, your grandmother is on the hook, since it was not fraud. She authorized the transaction so the unauthorized maximum charge of 50 will not apply in this situation. Hoping you guys the best, but wanted to clear things up if it doesnt go well.
