I purchased a $25 Amazon GC few days ago, but did not received it. I receive only conformation email from hex.

PMed seller - still no answer...

Then i posted on his topic, and few hours ago i receive this message:

Sorry to hear you got scammed, but just a little research before would have saved you from getting ripped off.

1) Do NOT buy any giftcards online unless you are purchasing them directly from the official shop, too many fraudsters are using other peoples credit cards to buy them and resell them. It doesn't take long for the cards to become worthless, or even if you do redeem them - the fraud will be traced to you.

2) Self moderated threads are a big warning sign and are regularly used by scammers to censor their threads due to situations like this. Some people will scam you for even the most trivial amounts.
