A Target store in Michigan lost $93,000 in gift cards after being a victim of a scam.

An elaborate plan was in place for four days in February, and is a nationwide hustle known as the K1 scam.

A man was stopped in traffic and found to have 106 gift cards with him.

Large stores are likely to lose millions of dollars each week.

The investigator said that the scam artists look for vulnerable cashiers that they can target until they find someone to buy into the scam. They use fake credit cards to get the cashier to accept them as cash. The cashiers are often pressured by the scam artists.

The scam is untraceable because the money obtained from the fake cards is used to buy gift cards.

All of us pay for this grand theft from our stores.

If something feels weird, call a manager and not give in to pressure from potential scam artists.

The man was charged with possession of a fraudulent financial transaction device and receiving or concealing stolen property.

Genesse County is located in the state of Michigan.
