There are two separate problems here:

DjVoodo: do you deny it was a stolen code or a code obtained with a stolen credit card or any other illegal means? Are you recognizing that accusation? How exactly did you get that code? Were you surprised at all with the news that Amazon cancelled that gift card?

turtlehurricane: please post the email receipt you got when you sent that item back. Also any emails or other communication with the seller. I'm sure you got something.

I literally went to the post office and sent it in the original packaging, after confirming where to send it on the phone. There's no online receipt, besides that the purchase went from my orders page to cancelled.

If I was to keep the merchandise I would have had to pay an extra $200 due to high markup, that would make no sense. And I'm certainly not going to keep goods obtained with stolen gift cards. Also, I would've never tried to get the order to ship if I was aware the codes were stolen, emails were received/noticed after it shipped.

I held out hope it was just an account issue, but Amazon confirmed on 8/16 it was in fact stolen gift cards. I am glad my account survived this.

Also to clarify, the funds were frozen less than 12 hours after loading the cards. I got it fixed and then they were frozen again that night, once again I fixed it and then the item was shipped about 6 hours later. Then funds were frozen again, and that's the point at which I found the email stating the gift cards were invalid/stolen. Amazon is very disorganized when it comes to this to say the least.

Talk about some luck on your account not being permentantly suspended or anything..

Cause that real hassle would start, esp when you want to purchase stuff in the future.

But yeah, if the funds are fronzen less then that he prob got a carded card. In the future though, its better to just buy a smaller amount to see if the suppliers cards dont go bad and measure your risk.

luciann, i never gave him carded cards, and he know that very well. You cn check the picture HE uploaded and see that are cash, also if you want you can call the store and verify the receipt.
