Anyone could have easily told that this was a scam site.
The prices on their gift cards are simply too low to be legit. Even conducting trade with them with an escrow would be risky, let alone sending them money first. Plus, their trust rating on the forum clearly says something about their legitimacy.
Should have conducted more research before deciding to send first to them. Common sense + reserach is all you need to avoid these scams.
Here's more fuel to the fire everyone... they have the audacity to send me an email (view below):
==========================================
Hi, your bitcoins can't arrive to us, maybe you have send the bitcoins from exchange wallet.
Please re-buy the product you have paid for, your extra payment will be returned to you from the API.
Make sure you use the same e-mail address.
==========================================
LOLs... you would think after taking my money the first time, they would quit, but they keep trying for more. It's people like this make this world a harder place to live in than it already is. I do have some empathy and wonder what happened to this person or people to make them want to be so dishonest.

Stay away peeps!
If that's true, then how audacious this scammer is. Not even afraid to ask victims to send more money his way. He's showing absolutely no remorse, and that's disgusting to see. Hopefully others can see this thread, and no more people get scammed.
