Yeah, I agree that I should have used an escrow. I was talking to him for a while on Skype, and decided to take a risk with $75 worth of BTC. He was advertising $50 per $1000 worth of AWS credits. Then he told me that he would give me two codes ($2000) worth for $75, and then I could confirm the first two worked. Then he said he would send me the third code for another $75.
I run a startup company and have a large AWS bill this month, so I was really hoping this was legit.
Do you know of any AWS code sellers that are not scammers?
I will post in the scam section as you suggested as well.
Thanks!
