Please do not get scammed. All the sellers here offering escrow for gift cards DO NOT offer escrow.

They tell you to buy using SELLY or SATOSHIBOX but the funds go directly to the seller.

WHY ARE MODS NOT BANNING THESE SELLERS?! If you give me the authority I'll ban every last one of them.

For some reason I can't even reply to most of their threads to warm people!

WATCH OUT!

This has been the exact message that we've been trying to spread here for years.

The fact is that is something is listed on an autobuy site it is pretty much as good as a scam - because of the fact that autobuy sites may seem like escrow sites, but in reality, they are nothing more than an interface for the buyers and sellers. You cannot dispute transactions like you could on actual ecommerce, or escrow sites.

Locked/self moderated threads should be a huge giveaway as well, along with the pricing of these gift cards. Think about it logically - who in the right minds would offer up such heavily discounted gift cards without either attempting to scam you, or providing fraudulently carded GCs?
