A gift card scam is currently preying on Instacart shoppers - exploiting not just buyers but also delivery personnel.
This is how the scam unfolds: A scammer, posing as a customer, orders just a few minor items, like a drink or a piece of fruit. Once an Instacart shopper accepts the order, the scammer (pretending to be the customer) messages the shopper and inquires about adding one or more gift cards, frequently with a high value of $100 (£79.83) or more, to the order.
