Title: Cruguy is a scammer!
Post by: Mesut123 on November 13, 2016, 09:11:41 PM
This guy scammed me of $70 in relation to my thread about buying Amazon Gift Cards

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1597533.msg16807113#msg16807113

He sent me a personal message

Then we started chatting on skype

I sent him $70 on thursday and he promised to give me $100 worth of agc in 24-36 hours.

Still nothing so by saturday I had enough and asked for a refund and he has been making one lame excuse after another

Sorry for you lost, I wish he will deliver the digital good he promised, but I want to add that people should use the escrow and should not be afraid from fees if any.

And people shouldnt be afraid to ask. In something like this, I would always recommend doing escrow and always avoid taking it outside the forum. While I understand people like to do things privately in pm, exchanging in conv should sometimes always be in public.

It's my fault I should have known better. I wish he gets banned at least.

Btw, are there any middlemen here?

Yes there are many escrows here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0 and here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.msg16813368#msg16813368
And many more which are not listed there which are less trusted, scammers don't get banned but get negative feedback if they prove that they are scammer.

It is probably best to avoid buying giftcards altogether, so many people here have been ripped off by these on the forums. Escrow won't protect you in these transactions as it may be days, weeks or months later that the giftcard is discovered as fraudulent - the buyer is on the hook. The small amount you might save is not worth the massive risk.
