On February 22, 2024 I received a voicemail from supposedly Spectrum stating I could receive my internet, phone and cable services for half of my normal monthly bill. They told me I needed to pay 8 months upfront of one half of my bill and then my monthly bill would be one half of the monthly payment for 36 months. The "catch " according to the scammer was I had to pay by Target Gift cards. I was to call back a number provided to me and give them the Gift Card number. This would be applied to my spectrum bill. I did this after checking by calling the number to verify it wasn't a scam not realizing it was a Scam Center I was calling to verify the authenticity. It was even answered as spectrum and sounded legitimate. I gave my Gift Card numbers to the Scammers and lost my money of course. I called spectrum who told me this was definitely Fraud and that spectrum and Target did not have a partnership for this which the Scammers told me it was a promotion by Target and Spectrum. Long story short I lost my money because of this SCAM. Nothing can be done as the Gift Cards were used immediately. I doubt I'll EVER use or buy a Target Gift Card or even shop there even though Target was not at fault. It's just a bad connotation with the company now

Claimed loss: $440.00

Desired outcome: I would like some monetary compensation for the amount I lost as the cards came from Target and the company should have made this SCAM aware to the public since it involves the public
