INDIANA, Pa. (KDKA) -- Pennsylvania State Police are warning about a new tactic from scammers.
They say a scammer called an 86-year-old man, saying they were from Microsoft tech support.
The caller then told the man to buy $500 in gift cards and said if the cashier questioned the purchase, he should say the cards were for a family member.
Police say don't let this happen to you.
If in any doubt just hang up or call your local police.
