Actually that'd be far better than if it were really Crowdstrike thinking $10 would resolve this.
So I believe OP cleverly circled that back around to the gift card. WP.
Just like they didn't plan for their testing infrastructure to have its infamous error.
Kitboga is a well-known streamer whose entire schtick is wasting scammers' time. He uses a voice changer and has a very thorough setup of fake websites including Google, the Google Play store, a bank, and more, as well as fake screen sharing tricks that show him exactly what a scammer is trying to do when they use a remote-access tool to access his system. When they use their RAT to black out his screen so they can hide DOM manipulation in the browser or something, he can actually watch them do it.
In the video above, at about 53:00 in, Kitboga "redeems" the fake Google Play Store card that he "bought" rather than letting the scammer copy the numbers.
One thing he's shown many times is how persistent scammers can be. One time he hit the password reset on his fake bank and made the scammer help him solve a password game. https://youtu.be/wkLPk2tmyNI
While I do understand that this might have been sent by a department far removed from IT, it's still scary that they didn't think of possible abuse.
