You are not being a dick. What you ARE being is much much nicer than the past. I appreciate that. If they want their transactions out in the open, they would post. Go and ask them from back and March and ask are their transactions good. I dont require any validation from anyone.

According to Jake (paraphrased): There is a guy on ICQ who comes on only once in a while and there is a very short window where he is selling these codes in the thousands. Because he sells them at a huge discount (Like 50% of face value) they are always gone almost immediately after he logs in, so we have to sit and wait for him to get on before we can buy any.
Take it for what it's worth. Maybe the company gives them out for special reasons and these guys just capitalize on it. It's more likely though that they're all stolen and the only reason that some make it through is because some people aren't diligent with reporting fraud. (I'm not sure if I'd report $10 missing on my personal credit card for example, because I spend so much everyday doing what I do I wouldn't even notice. Business card however...).

Haha, sometimes this forum community brings some epic entertainment. My guess is people are hoping the code will function if they use it quickly enough. Now to wait and see if someone complains about bad Amazon codes they bought from someone with a scammer tag.
Internet equivalent of buying things from the back of a van.

Folks, this is one of the most dangerous scammers the forum has seen. Do NOT take that scammer tag lightly. You WILL get charged criminally if you accept the codes, and that's assuming that you're lucky enough to get them in the first place.
If you have already accepted codes, do not spend them. Contact Amazon immediately about your mistake.
If you've already bought something, contact Amazon immediately and inform them that they can charge another payment method for the item.
The codes are worthless.

Maged, serious question--
Why do we allow cards to be sold on this forum? Is there ever a situation where the cards aren't/can't be stolen?

I've used spendbitcoins probably 4-5 times and they always come through, always have good prices, never a single issue. sometimes i even get some extra money.

"the"? lol, just kidding you. There are limited examples of legitimate sellers, but they are few and far between.

As other people have mentioned, trusted people can provide perfectly clean codes. It is not the forum's job to determine who is "trusted". We would also have to apply this rule to PayPal as well, since it has the same risks.

You wish! All of the codes are now sold. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

And not a single person here can confirm that they bought from you this round. Nice try to inflate your reputation, but until I see proof of sale, I'm inclined to agree with Maged.
