What they do is they ask the person to go to a store, buy several thousand dollars usually worth of gift cards, and then call them back or email them back the numeric code or a barcode that's on the back of the card.

They read it to the scammer over the phone or they send it to them in an email or take a picture of it and email them a picture of it.
