Why would you buy anything from him?

MadmanAmazon hasn't used the forum in nearly 2 years + He he has 8 people that claimed he was a scammer prior to this thread.

There are already a lot of allegations against this member, so why do you have to deal with that member? You should refrain from making any deal with that member after seeing the red tag on his profile, as he was already involved in the scam. But you deal with him and he sends you useless things. They are actually waiting for people like you and they successfully scam you. Your warning post may alert others and keep them away from this scammer.

Sometimes people really baffle me.

Sadly, there is nothing more that can be done for this.

You see when you take the deal to a known scammer, you are taking the risk. If you are that naive, probably new to this forum too, this should be a lesson for you. 20$ is a big amount in some countries exchange rate, so I hope you manage to get through it.

Cashapp is a service, that I have never used. Is there any chance you could contact their support if they have any and explain the situation to them? If the app is used for sending bitcoin, then of course there is no method to reverse that.

Let's say, your $20 falls into the sea and is swallowed by the fish.

This is an experience for you, in the future do not easily trust trading related to money via telegram, for now telegram is the most cases of fraud victims.

It's still a good thing you lost $20 for one card, what if you give him $2000 you must panic, in the future if you want to trade, ask in this forum section (services, goods etc.), so you get justice in that and also avoid being scammed.
