Title: Bought an Amazon Gift Card to buy BTC but realized I was getting scammed Post by: hitalick on November 17, 2015, 10:41:47 PM Hi everyone I'm really greatful I found this forum I'm more knowledgeable than I was when I impulsively bought this amazon gift card code with the promise of a transaction that would give me BTC at market price. A guy on Localbitcoins had set up a local transaction that he wouldn't escrow and kept insisiting that I just send him the claim code. After that I was contacted by JakeZ who I believe also tried to scam me. I told him I wanted to do the transaction with an escrow service he offered to go through BTCrow I received this email as "confirmation"
Hello, Escrow is funded by seller the transaction details are https://blockchain.info/tx/87450563ea6905cca79eaeffc57b7ba9cce41ea7716007ab464bc3063ae9ff73 which released to your wallet :1CK6mS3fzDKQpWEt6BJa4eoAcUJuuXp5eW as you sent payment. The escrow details are given below Description: agc to btc Escrow Amount: 0.94990000 Buyer Email: lbtckaak@gmail.com Seller Email: Stillrideabigwheel@gmail.com Escrow Fee: 0.0142485 Fee Payable by Buyer: 0.01424850 Fee Payable by Seller: 0.00000000 Total Payable by Buyer: 0.9641485 Seller will Receive: 0.9499 Tracking: Not Required Maximum Shipping Time: Immediate delivery Inspection Period: 1 day Regards: -btcrow It looked suspicious to me I couldnt find a transaction ID to verify with BTCrow so I didnt send him the codes out of fear I was being scammed I now have a 350 dollar Amazon Gift Card physical card purchased legitimately no funny business would just like to get a decent amount of BTC in return for it. If any senior members can help me out I'd appreciate it Title: Re: Bought an Amazon Gift Card to buy BTC but realized I was getting scammed Post by: devthedev on November 17, 2015, 11:11:29 PM I can't tell if this is a scam accusation or an offer to sell. If you're trying to sell the gift card, I'd go to the digital goods (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0) section and post further information there.
