This advisory describes how scammers create convincing crypto-to-gift-card storefronts that either never deliver purchased gift cards, sell stolen/invalid codes, or act as money-laundering fronts; it explains the deception techniques (lookalike domains, modest discounts, fake trust badges) and lists practical protections such as visiting official sites directly, checking domain spelling, avoiding Connect Wallet prompts, researching reviews, using browser anti-phishing extensions, and reporting suspicious sites.
