They prey on the elderly. As a Target employee we have elders coming in a lot saying they need $2000 in GC for “bail money “ or hospital bills. 1) bail bonds men only take cash or collateral they would never ask for GC. 2) no hospital would take Target GC for payment. No matter their story if they ask for GC in payment hang up immediately, inform your local police and let all your friends and family know. Also call the person they say is in danger, hospital or jail and talk to them, they will tell you they are fine. This is a scare tactic they use on the elderly. Please think before you act and don’t panic, the panic is what they depend on.
