Gift card request

I passed but… this escort said she didn’t accept cash!!?? who doesn’t accept cash. Wanted to be paid in gift card.!? was she a scam or is this a thing now?

It's a scam. You'll get the gift card, then she'll ask you to send a photo of the card, she'll cash out, and you'll be left with an empty card, and out whatever amount you put in it. I can understand a gift card being used as deposit, where it's 10-25% of the session fee, and even then do it only for reputable providers. If it's the whole amount, it's more than likely a scam.
