The video is just a bait to download the program so-called "Free Amazon Gift Cards Finder", which I'm 100% sure contain malware.
Most of the illegal gift cards on the internet are obtained via carding or stolen, I think the best way is to get the GC thru trusted vendors e.g. bitrefill.com, or to buy only physical GC and ask for the receipt from the seller.

It might contain malware or it might contain an empty shell.
Many scammers use such "magic software"(which doesn't exist) like Amazon gift card generators,Paypal money generators,etc. only to trick some naive people to complete file unlocking CPA offers,in order to get that "software".There are websites like CPAlead,OGads and Sharecash that support content locking offers.
Just don't trust such videos and don't try to download such "software".

100% sure it is, too good to be true rates--everything is pure magic, only, with supporting spammy comments. Anything that is related to code/money generator are all scams with malware. Don't install any program from that youtube link for your own safety.

This video probably is, but there are programs on other forums that you can buy that claim to do exactly this. They check 100-400 thousand combinations each day/hour or something. It's like trying to find a valid hash for a bitcoin block, but instead it's someone else's amazon giftcard balance.

I've never tried them myself, but there's dozens of users claiming they work, and paying for them. So, there probably is some logic behind what OP is saying.

And the answer to OP is: we don't know, no one knows whether a card is cracked/carded until amazon cancels your card.

Which is why you should only buy from trusted resellers such as Bitrefill et al, who have some sort of reputation.

Usually, you're pretty safe with any service/person selling at 1:1 rate.

If you want to go with something cheaper, I suggest to:

1. Use Purse.io (If it's Amazon U.S) and get a discount.
2. If you bought from individuals, the only way to protect yourself is to redeem and instantly purchase.

its just another victim hunter.
i also covered my first trojan with a wow emu hack
Just run this only in a VirtualBox.

Every video that related to this one do really have that spammy positive comments that it is indeed working which is obvious.Videos that give out catchy titles or things that are impossible can always hook up fools that believe that they do exist. Some might contain malware and some are just purely letting you to fill up some surveys or task for the benefit on making money into its owner.We can easily spot these things out if we are not dumb enough to believe into too good to be true things.

Beware, guys, I've scanned the file from Virus total and this is the result below.

There is a Trojan SPY it means that if you use this software your PC can be monitored by the hacker. I believe that the thread owner is promoting this video here and obvious the comments are fake and repeated.

Do you think there are those who believe in getting free money for not doing anything?
Many fake comments, a closed source, upload the file by Mega.
scammers use these methods to scam others, while hackers use dark Web sites.

how to protect ourself & make sure we are not buying cracked codes?

Do not follow the illusion and buy from legally or through Purse.io.

Yeah just like the thousands of users who vouch for those low energy bills devices that you plug in and by miracle your freezer only does 10W. Don't we have already thousands of users flagged for shilling scams in the market place?

This is one example of what  davis196 was saying:
getamzn(dot)com (of course, better open it a virtual machine)

Some fancy numbers on the screen making you feel like you're hacking into amazon servers and then you have to complete an offer (which will cost you money) and by a miracle, the code won't work after because ...its a scam.

You can see for yourself here, https://www.nulled.to/topic/406552-hot-amazon-giftcard-codes-generator-checker-captcha-and-proxy-less-50-limited-offer-try-it-free/page-1 (Not sure if linking to other forums is allowed, especially if the content is sort of blackhat. Will remove if that's appropriate.)

There's entire communities build around "cracking" Netflix/amazon/other giftcards.
Which is why i would never buy any sort of giftcard from individuals.

Yeah, one community where you can buy bumps and trust far easier than on BTCtalk.
The thing they sell is a simple macro that checks combinations one by one, nothing close to the 400k an hour.
Just checking some posts at the end of the thread:

Bought this software 2 months ago, tried to use it for 1 week. Had no valid gift card in results.
Now I don't use it anymore because it's useless for me.

bought this product 6 months ago. The seller was very friendly, but I dont get a response to my messages for about two weeks. The product is overall useless as it keeps stopping after like 500 sometimes more or even less checks. So far after 6 months I have exactly 0 hits.

I wonder what is easier, to hit a valid code with a balance in your region or solomine a block with an s9.
My bet would is on the second (without doing any math).

[leowonderful]

I actually did buy one of these AGC generators from Nulled a while back, never got any hits like almost everybody said in the threads for the generator. Certainly not worth your time, though you might get a hit purely by luck, and even if you do get a hit there's no guarantee it'll be of any significant sum. Did a VirusTotal check on the generator I bought and it didn't seem like there was any malware on the software, but I still ran it sandboxed just in case.

I agree, i haven't done the math to see if it checks out, still though, those threads have lots of vouches from high level members in those communities, which makes me believe that they perhaps did work in the past, or for other services.

(I'm pretty sure Amazon migh've changed//added more entropy to their giftcard generation methods by now.)

[figmentofmyass]

If you have serious concern, but don't want bother risks, then the only option is buy from seller with official website & registered company such as https://www.gyft.com/

gyft stopped selling amazon gift cards last year. egifter too. the only places i know where to get 100% legit amazon cards for bitcoin are through the bitpay wallet app or bitrefill.

Once they banned me for using a virtual Visa card. And I'm 100% sure the card was 'legal' since I got it myself, and not from a foreign user on the web but from a company...owned by Visa. (Almost everything in my house is connected to Amazon (even the toilets are on wifi) so I'm not crazy to risk my account)

It took about 1 year (and so many emails) to get my account back, at the end I was acting like a village idiot, well it worked better than giving every crazy paper they asked me. Never ever I will use a VCC with Amazon, even one issued by my bank.

[leowonderful]

I used a prepaid Visa giftcard on Amazon just a few months ago on an account I owned for over a year with Amazon Prime, and immediately after using it my account was completely locked by Amazon and they started requesting for a boatload of information like a copy of the statement of the card that had the billing address on it, my name, address, and a bunch of other details. My Prime subscription was about to expire anyways at that time so I didn't bother getting all of that information. Sucks that Amazon's so strict with payments now, but after that terrible experience I've only used my physical debit card on the site.

Wow, you have one of those flush commands devive or something more high tech?
I was planning on getting on install ones to do some automated flushing when closing the light since my kid is....whatever

They really don't like virtual visa cards if you refer to ones not linked to an individual banking account, once their system detects a cc number for which it doesn't recognize the issuer it's instantly flagged.
I got two of them removed from my payment options with no explanation whatsoever, just because they were issued by our postal service, not really a bank, but in cooperation with a bank.

These days, Amazon is more strict, there are few cases where users who make bad/misleading review few times got permanently banned from reviewing any product.

Amazon used to have the check balance on the website not protected by a login, you could simply try to brute force codes, don't know if they had some ip/ number of tries limitation as I never abused that.
But nowadays you seriously risk your account if you do it more than a couple of times, especially if you're not careful and you try foreign codes that have nothing to do with your country.

They're so crazy, the funny thing is I knew few people using these same cards for months but they never had a problem, only me.

Yeah, I can control the house by voice with Echo, all rooms have one. Even I can talk to my TV. I automated a lot of things like start the heating according to the temperature outside or changing the light if it rains. Every day I wake up and say "Hello", It turns on my tassimo for my coffee, turn on the light, give me the BTC price, and then the flash news, etc. So many things to do, supermarket lists, auto buy with Amazon...
I even have a robot vacuum cleaner on autopilot daily.

My grandmother is 93 years old and she is living alone in a house. She has only me and it's not always easy. I bought everything to equip her entire house. She is so happy because it helps her a lot.

By the way, in memory to bitcointalk, the voice call me "Sir!"
