A:
This situation raises multiple red flags that suggest potential criminal activity. You should immediately cease communication with this person and report the profile to Facebook.
This type of scenario is often associated with various criminal schemes, including human trafficking, exploitation, or fraud. The mention of children in connection with planned sexual activity is particularly concerning and could involve serious criminal implications, regardless of any gift cards.
The safest course of action is to block this person, document any communications you've had, and report the account to both Facebook and local law enforcement. You can contact the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to file a report, as they track these types of potential criminal activities. Your vigilance in reporting such behavior helps protect others from falling victim to similar schemes.
