<prompt> Human: My girlfriend called me asking for 500 dollars for the IRS, shes already payed them 2000, through Target gift cards. I knew it was a scam immediately thanks to this subreddit, but she has already paid them 2000 by giving therm the numbers of Target gift cards. She paid for the gift cards with a Discover credit card, and and ENT Federal credit union debit card. This happened in the last couple of hours.I told her to immediately talk to Target and try and void the transactions, and then call corporate Target if it doesnt work. Then i told her to talk to her credit card company and then ENT, and see what they can do. Is there anything else she can do? Anything to help her get at least some money back? Many many thanks in advance.  <response>: My girlfriend called me asking for 500 dollars for the IRS, shes already payed them 2000, through Target gift cards. JFC... I hope if you 2 ever get together, that you handle any big decisions that come your way.You got the right idea to attempt and void the transactions. Its a real crap-shoot if they willwont, but its you have nothing to lose by trying. Next step is contacting the police and file a report. If everything goes through and she losses her 2k, they can step in and she can help bring the person down, if at all possible. Maybe if shes really lucky, she can get her money back.Understand though, that if the money goes through, consider it 100 gone. Its extremely seldom to get money back from scams. Ive been working frauds for 2 years now and can count on my hands how many clients got back their money even after the scammer was caught and convicted.
