Gift cards have become one of the most convenient ways to pay, send gifts, or trade online.
Whether it’s Apple, Amazon, Google Play, or Steam, they’re valuable — and that’s exactly why scammers target them.
In Nigeria, where digital transactions are growing fast, gift card scams and theft are on the rise.
But don’t worry — with the right precautions and the right platform, you can keep your cards 100% safe.
Let’s talk about how to protect your gift cards and why using Migo – Sell Gift Cards is the safest way to trade them.
Common Ways Gift Card Scams Happen
Before we talk about prevention, let’s understand how gift card scams usually work:
- Fake Buyers or Traders
Scammers pretend to be buyers offering high exchange rates. Once you send your card code, they disappear. - Phishing Links
Fraudsters send fake websites that look like real trading platforms to steal your card details. - Social Media Giveaways
Some scammers pose as influencers or brands offering giveaways — but they’re just after your card codes. - Unauthorized Transactions
If your card is stored online (like in your email or screenshots), hackers can access and use it without your knowledge.
5 Tips to Protect Your Gift Cards
- Never Share Your Gift Card Code with Strangers
If someone you don’t know asks for your card details, it’s 99% a scam. - Avoid Unverified Platforms

Make sure you’re using the official Migo website or app. Look for the “https://” and correct domain name. - Use Secure Internet Connections
