Default Re: New scam letter (email)

Walking into a Target store here late last week,a man approached me asking if I would buy his 4 $20 gift cards for $80.."Good at any Target store",he added.I asked why he didn't just go inside and spend them.
He said he never shops here.I said then go to another Target store,they're good at any Target store..
He glared back at me,so I asked to see them..he paused awhile,then pulls out the 4 gift cards,with the bottom 2 looking suspicious.
I'm no Target employee,but they sure looked homemade to me,and I think on shiney paper too,not plastic like I've always seen.
I told him I'll bet Target will buy them back from you,as that's their new policy during these tough times.
He said "why don't you just buy them from me,and you could do that?"
I said you're right....stay here & I'll ask a customer service rep to come outside with me to verify.
He said that's fine,I'll wait right here.
I turn to him once I'm in the store.
..I've never seen a middleaged man walk that fast towards a waiting Scion before in my life.
