yup it does make sense, your comment does not make any sense to be honest, maybe it adds to your post count and that's all about it.
OP , sorry for your loss, i am not going to say why haven't you checked their feedback and all that, because it won't change anything, so now you are probably still looking for some gift cards right?
i suppose you have learned from your mistake now, and if you still want to go anywhere near the Digital Goods then here are some of the rules i use to stay safe.
1- it is safe to assume that every single locked/self moderated topic is a scam
2- almost every newbie feedback is fake
3- 99% of gift cards sellers are scammers anyway.
keep that in mind.
