Scam Description
The scammer claim to be a Verizon representative depositing a refund in our bank account for overuse of Internet data due to an underperforming router. They also claimed to upgrade our router. They fraudulently said that they deposited $20,000 in our account but really moved money from, one of our accounts to the checking account. We believed them. They said to repay the money we needed to collect target gift cards. We collected $9000 worth and gave them the 23 digit codes on the back of the cards.
