OP, sorry for your loss. There is no question that the person in question is the same as YoutubeTV.
Unfortunately, he used a telegram channel just so that he is able to kick out anyone after he scams. Always check trust ratings before dealing. Also, 80% off on gift cards is outrageous. I'd say that anything over 10-20% discount without receipt should be taken with caution, as there are many fraudulent GCs out there (even if you do get them delivered to you).
Lazy noob I am trying to get a good bargain. Will catchup on the rules, didnt know there was such a thing as no posting/lock threads..... sorta defeats the purpose of a forum.
Appreciate the help.
Locking threads can be useful in many scenarios. Self moderated threads are also useful in other scenarios to prevent spam. However, if used in digital goods, it will mean that the person that started the thread is basically trying to directly target and scam those who doesn't have an account on the forum and trying to get a good deal, just like in your case.
