Tried to pose as the owner of my company who "needed a gift card" during a "conference call". Them: "Good to hear from you. Is it possible for you to complete a quick task while I'm on a conference call." "I’m on a conference call meeting right now and I need to provide a client with some gíft cards. Can you confirm if you can get Apple store gíft cards from the nearby stores to you?"
