County Executive Budish and the
Department of Consumer Affairs
Combat Impostor Scams with New
Gift Card Scam Initiative
Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Bud-
ish and the Cuyahoga County Department of
Consumer Aff airs are partnering with stores
to share important alerts about pervasive
scams that can cost victims thousands of
dollars each.
Impostor scams are the fastest-growing
scams in the country and continue to create
signifi cant losses for victims. Scammers
frighten victims by pretending to be IRS
agents, debt collectors or even a victim's
grandchild who needs money for bail after
an accident. Increasingly, scammers are
turning to iTunes gift cards as their preferred
form of payment, because the cards are easy
to resell for most of their face value.
To help warn consumers, stores, including
Giant Eagle and Dave's Markets, are posting
signs with a consumer alert on gift card
display racks.
"In Cuyahoga County, people have lost
thousands of dollars to these frightening
scams," said County Executive Budish. "That's
why we're proud to announce that stores
that sell gift cards have partnered with us to
fi ght this type of fraud. I thank Dave's Market
and Giant Eagle for placing warning signs
on their displays so that people see an alert
about these scams right when they most
need it."
Since the IRS began nationally tracking
tax impostor scams in October 2013, nearly
6,000 victims of this scam alone have lost a
total of more than $31 million about $5,370
each. Cuyahoga County residents have lost
as much as $12,000 each to impostor scams
in the belief that they were helping a grand-
child post bail.
The program was designed to warn
potential victims of the three most common
variations of the scam: bogus requests for
bail for a relative, fi ctitious debt collection
calls and phony IRS calls. The Department of
Consumer Aff airs encourages all stores that
sell iTunes gift cards to join the pilot program
and display consumer alerts.
By displaying the county's public service
message on gift card displays, stores can:
· Save potential victims from signifi cant
fi nancial losses
· Build good will by looking out for custom-
ers
· Avoid having victims associate their brand
with fi nancial loss
· Perform a valuable public service
Stores that want to partner in the pro-
gram and consumers and want to report
scams may contact the Department of
Consumer Aff airs at 216.443.7035. For more
