gift card fraud

Got a text from my manger asking me to purchase 2 apple gift cards and send the codes. Found out immediately after it was a spoof call / fraud. Any way I can reverse the gift cards??

Hello Amy4321,


I believe not, they are the same as cash. Check what Apple has to say:


Identifying legitimate emails from the App Store and iTunes Store - Identify legitimate emails from the App Store or iTunes Store - Apple Support


Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
