Recognize gift card scams before sharing a code

Pause when a request relies on pressure

Be suspicious of someone demanding gift cards to settle an unexpected tax, emergency, fine, job application, or account problem. Pressure to buy cards immediately, keep the conversation secret, or send photographs of codes is a reason to stop and independently verify the claim.

An unsolicited offer to buy your card can also be risky when the person wants the full code before explaining the process. Do not let a screenshot of a supposed payment replace checking your own payment account. Avoid sending an additional card because someone says it is needed to unlock money from the first one.

• Stop if someone tells you to hide the transaction.
• Question requests to buy more cards to release a payout.
• Verify claims through a contact channel you found yourself.
• Never disclose a signup or password-reset code to a stranger.

Navigate to support independently

Use the NEONCard site directly to reach the exchange form or Contact Support. The contact page requires sign-in for chat and the site lists a support email. Compare any claimed support identity with those published channels rather than following a link in an unexpected message.

The exchange form requests card details and attachments as part of the submission. That does not mean every message asking for those details is legitimate. A familiar logo, display name, or reference to a common card brand is not enough to authenticate a person.

Keep trading information consistent

The terms require authority to trade, truthful information, and secure credentials. Do not submit a card you suspect is stolen or compromised, and do not offer the same code to multiple buyers while its disposition is unclear. Shared codes can create uncertainty over who has access to the balance.

Use the Transactions page to follow an existing trade instead of relying on unsolicited status claims. If a stranger's message conflicts with your recorded trade, ask support through the published channel and preserve the message without exposing the code publicly.

Respond carefully to a suspected scam

Stop sharing details and preserve the messages, relevant dates, and any transaction reference. Contact the issuer through its official resources if the card may have been exposed, and contact NEONCard support if an exchange is involved. Secure any affected account credentials. Ask what action is available; do not assume that a report guarantees reimbursement, reversal, or recovery.
