Gift cards as part of the Phishing bate? APWG says yes

According to APWG: Phishing Continues to Rise, Threat Actors Love Gift Cards it says that phishers really love gift cards. I can relate to several people contacting me through twitter and or Hangouts asking for money, giftcards, bank accounts, and the like. This is probably going to be the norm now, and its frightening when you know that there are always going to be people getting on the Internet for the first time.

The question is, how are we going to end up teaching people about this evolving threat and tell them that this isn’t normal? Its going to get very interesting. Your thoughts are welcome.
