Often this is part of the scam. Once the scammers have you convinced that they're official, they tell you to say it's for holidays or a birthday or something like that so you don't get stopped when buying gift cards.

Of course, this makes it really annoying to actually try to buy gift cards for gifts, because now when you defend yourself it sounds like you're getting scammed...
