This is his skype: curexineurope
He scammed me of $1,000 in amazon cards. He hasn't logged for a week here and now he started to up his scam thread.
He sent the BTC for one card and after I sent him 2 cards he sent no BTC and got offline. Haven't heard back for him for over a week. Contacted him on skype and here but he didn't answer. Today he started to post on his thread.
Do not deal with him! He will scam you!
Nobody seems to have done anything to neg this person, yet.
This is a warning to others, even if you're dealing with gift cards odesn't mean that you can get away with not using escrow. OP's example is a good one, if you're offering up legit gift cards, and they get redeemed, the process of recovering the gift cards will be long and in the end, the scammer probably has alerady spent your gift cards.
Almost all of the locked threads with only the OP spamming his bumps, are going to be scams. They should all be negged for doing this.
I have seen a few scam threads locked and all I could do was report it to the moderators.
Do the moderators actually do anything ? as they usually ignore reports about scammers.
Moderators don't deal with scam reports. That's up to DT members to give out negative trust to warn people. But deleting scam threads could be possible.
