Probably why they had this girl running around to lots of different stores and kept her on the line for 4+ hours. Kept it to 5 gift cards per store or whatever so that the store wouldn't be tipped off and stop her.

Yeah, that's bizarre. I wonder what the guy told her that convinced her to go around to different stores, rather than initially trying to bunch at all once. It doesn't really fit with the scammer's narrative of transfer your money to gift cards.
What the heck to the scammers do with the gift cards? Use those online gift card exchange sites?
