Thank you for sharing this topic here to warn the community about this scam gift card market platform.

The following quote is from last one of the victims who had $350 stolen from him by making an order through the Vanillagifts scam website:

Hello, to all people, do not buy anything from this seller, he is a big fraud and actor, all the feedback's on his websites are fake, few days ago i paid $350 usd for £1000 apple card united kingdom, first he sent me 13 digit invalid code (apple codes are 16 digit) then he says he will send me the replacement, as he is waiting from his boss to send the replacement and today he said the replacement has been sent please check your email, and then he blocked me on telegram, i haven't received any replacement he is a big scammer,

The scammer's account here on the forum has been tagged by sandy-is-fine, and he has posted evidence [#] pointing to suspicious matters in terms of fake comments being published in the Vanillagifts ANN thread by apparently hacked accounts that have suddenly woken up to post misleading comments. Also, the purchase prices of the cards compared to their value do not appear to make any sense at all. In addition to the reviews/ratings on the Vanillagifts platform, all of them are manipulated and not from genuine customers. Also, on this platform's telegram channel, fake accounts were used to increase interaction on the posts published by the owner of this scam website so as to appear legit and not a scam.

 I will tag his account now, and I hope no other victims fall victim to this scam.

I feel sorry for the victim, but he should have been sensible enough to know that the deal was too good to be true. How did he believe someone is going to sell something worth £1,000 for just $350?

Even then, sandy-is-fine had already posted some warnings and red flags. Anyway, I am leaving a negative to the scammers profile and supporting the flag. I encourage the victims to open a type 2 flag if they can.

I supported the flag and added another negative trust rating to his account. I see that the sale topic is now locked, probably to suppress additional negative feedback.

OP, if you come across any more of his accounts or contact information, please post them publicly in this thread. This will help us to identify and avoid his scams in the future.
