Sure, but everyone here is reacting with incredulity at the idea you could make any kind official payment with a stack of gift cards. It's like asking someone to pay their utility bill with Pokemon or MTG cards.
- kube-system 6y agoThere are many examples of people who have been interviewed after being scammed who did know better, but did it anyway because they were successfully convinced their situation was a special exception. Gaslighting can really distort reality for some people. While the majority of people who fall for this are elderly and aren’t as sharp as they used to be, they aren’t the only ones who are successfully tricked.

People are wired to think that way, because that's how it is. So manipulation can work by triggering that frame of mind.
