There's a couple of them I'm aware of, partially because I work at grocery store and gift card scams are absolutely a thing. One that sticks out is the one where the scammer calls and says they're from your bank and there's been fraud activity on your account, and they need your numbers to fix it. This scam sticks out in my head because my mum got one of these calls. Unfortunately for the scammer, he called at the worst possible time for himself. My mum had just gotten like four teeth pulled and was still on pain meds. Because of the pain meds, Mum was a bit fuzzy and nothing he was saying waw computing properly, so she ended up telling him, "Listen, I'm on drugs, I'm not understanding. Call back tomorrow." The dude actually called back the next day. Because she was more clearheaded, she realized it was sketchy and ended up going to her bank and talking to them. There was no fraud.
