So with Amazon Prime day I thought I can buy a gift card with crypto, first I've tried with bitpanda.com, but I can't get verified in my country so I went and checked on bitcointalk if someone was selling and I found this post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3315079.0 . ( seems pretty legit right?, wrong)
My first mistake was that I haven't even checked the trust level, I just thought that if it had some pages from people that "bought from him" everything is alright, don't do that, always check.
I've added him on telegram at the beginning he said that he only has 50 € and 100 € on amazon.de so I gave up, but he contacted me after a while and told me that he got a 75€ gift card (a bit more than the Kindle that I wanted to buy) so I was glad and I said that I will take it.
Well I should have thought more about this and how did he get a 75€ gift card, my second mistake.
He said that 50€ (third mistake) is okay and asked me to send him 50$ at first, I told him that he may be wrong and calculated in $.
Well and that's how I got scammed, probably is not that important for everyone but at least I hope I can help someone not being scammed.
TLDR: Don't be stupid.
