A quick pit-stop in CVS yielded the unexpected.
On the public address system came a warning.
"The IRS and other government agencies will never require you to use a specific payment method for your bills, such as prepaid debit cards, iTunes cards or other gift cards," it said. "If anyone calls you and demands that you buy gift cards to pay a bill, hang up and report the incident to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at TIGTA.gov."
A fraud warning? In a store? In a store where people can buy gift cards -- gift cards that are often used for scams?
It was like Christmas came early for Bamboozled.
We reached out to CVS to say, "Hey, this is awesome!" and to ask for additional information.
