Asked to pay by gift card? Don't.
Has someone asked you to go get a gift card to pay for something? Lots of people have told us they've been asked to pay with gift cards – by a caller claiming to be with the IRS, or tech support, or a so-called family member in need. If you've gotten a call like this, you know that the caller will then demand the gift card numbers and PIN. And, poof, your money is gone.
Scammers are good at convincing people there really is an emergency, so lots of people have made the trip to the Walmart or Target or CVS to buy gift cards to send these callers. And scammers love gift cards – it's one of their favorite ways to get your money. These cards are like giving cash – and nearly untraceable, unless you act almost immediately.
So here's the most important thing for you to know: anyone who demands payment by gift card is always, always, always a scammer.
This isn't exactly uncommon

What do I do guys?[/QUOTE]Do nothing.
Silly crap like this happens from time to time in the hobby. Nothing is likely to come of it. If it makes you feel better, burn your burner phone. But usually I keep it around to be entertained by how it will escalate.
The odds of anything bad actually happening are for all practical purposes zero.
