Be Aware of Scammers
Westminster staff will NEVER ASK YOU TO BUY GIFT CARDS AND FOR THE CODES ON THE BACK. This is a very common scam for phishing criminals to use because once they have the code off the back of the card, the money is gone. It’s then impossible to trace and impossible to retrieve. Then they’re off to scam their next victim.
Scammers have a wide variety of information from public records, social media, and information from data breaches. They might know your name, phone number, what church you go to, and what your favorite clubs and activities are. Using this information, they pretend to be someone you trust to either get personal information, access to your financial accounts, or con you into buying gift cards to strip of funds.
When in doubt, double-check strange requests through a safe method of communication.
