Scammers are taking advantage of high gas and grocery prices with postcards promising hundreds of dollars in free vouchers. Some mailers are designed to look official and may even use names like “AAPP” to resemble trusted organizations, but victims who respond can be charged small processing fees and then hit with unauthorized or recurring charges. Consumer advocates say the real goal is often to collect payment and personal information, not just the initial fee. If a postcard promises free gas or groceries, experts recommend verifying the offer through a trusted phone number before handing over any information.
