Re: I think I’ve just been scammed out on $1550 by Bitrefill
What did you say to Amazon for them to reinstate your account? Did they ask for proof of purchase of the gift cards? Did they give any reason for why your account was closed or why they reversed their decision?
I provided them with the information they asked for. They told me it took some time for my bank to verify my transaction, hence why my account was put on a pause.
Changed topic title and body.

Amazon reinstated my account again and my order processed just fine this time. Amazon also told me that my bank apparently held a £0.00 transaction for a day before processing it...

If Bitrefill gave you invalid giftcards then they must refund you without waiting for Amazon to refund them.
You would hope so but there might well be something buried in their terms and conditions. They might try to claim the contract is between you and Amazon and all they did is provide a way of paying for the card.
Even then I wouldn't regard that as good enough and would expect some good will.
Just finished reading their Terms of Service.
Appears to me I should be eligible for a refund.

You are right. This exactly why I asked OP to contact Amazon directly and ask what triggered their algorithms. Bitrefill have good reputation and I believe they will find away to sort this out.
@op, is it possible that someone else had access to your giftcards and used them already?
I just logged into my Amazon account now and see that my account access has been restored. I went to order an item from one of the items I ordered previously and my account was suspended yet again. I’m truly fed up with this. This is not going anywhere. Now I want my money back more than ever.

Did you receive any response from Amazon?
Before saying it is a scam we have to know what was the root cause of the problem.

I have at the moment only received 2 emails from Amazon. One saying that my account has been suspended for unusual activity. And one saying my account has been closed and stated the giftcard was invalid.
Yes, I certainly agree with you. I will continue pursuing for a refund. They shouldn’t even need to wait for Amazon to respond to refund me. It’s been a week now.

I have been using their service for over 2 years now and never faced such a problem or seen a complaint of this nature. But i believe if things don't work out on Amazon's side, they will refund you. Just keep us updated on the outcomes

Hello!
I understand your situation and the frustration, the problem is that Amazon will keep the funds when they block a card like this due to their algorithms being triggered. Which means we have no way of affecting their decision of a refund. If they do not refund us, we cannot refund you.

Seems a lot like I’ve just been scammed...
Re: I think I’ve just been scammed out on $1550 by Bitrefill
They haven’t told me why it happened. They’ve told me they contacted Amazon and haven’t received a response back yet on my case.
I’ve emailed them back just now telling them I would like to receive a refund for my purchase, if the issue remains unsolved by tomorrow, since it will be a week since the reported incident.
It is good that they kept their word, especially since the problem did not appear by them. Have you contacted Amazon? What happened to your account? Is it back again or is it still frozen?I’ve emailed them back just now telling them I would like to receive a refund for my purchase, if the issue remains unsolved by tomorrow, since it will be a week since the reported incident.
Perhaps what happened is a problem in the connection between the third party "Bitrefill" & Amazon and thus the gift cards became illegal.
Good luck and I hope you recover your account.

It won't solve your problem but I can tell you there are similar stories with Amazon and websites rewarding their users with Amazon gift cards (i.e. Swagbucks)
The same story happened to me before when I wanted to use a virtual card, I purchased an item and less than 10 minutes later my account was frozen.
The problem comes from Amazon but they're so stubborn and think only they are right.

Question about Bitrefill. When there're selling you a card from a store like Walmart, are they providing a scan that can by used on site or it's always to be used for online transactions?
The e-giftcard can be redeemed and used on the website for online purchases.

I’ve just been replied to this morning. They’ve informed me that they haven’t yet received a response back from Amazon at the moment.
And yes, I will pursue onto receiving a refund for my purchase if I don’t receive a response back from Amazon by tomorrow, as then it’s been a week since the date of the transaction.

I paid $1550 Bitcoin to purchase an Amazon.co.uk Giftcard. I went to purchase something using the giftcard and Amazon stated that the giftcard used was not valid and closed my account. Contacted my bank because an X amount of money was also meant to be taken from my bank to fulfil my order, and like before, they stated there’s no issues with my card but that the giftcard I received was most likely not legitimate.
I’m shocked and disappointed. Firstly, because I used this website previously and no issues were raised. Secondly, I sent them back a reply to an email they sent me a couple hours ago and haven’t been responded back to yet.
I wasn’t even using VPN nor was I outside the intended region as they told me in one email. I was using my home address WiFi in fact. I wasn’t reselling the giftcard either, as I was using for personal needs. My Amazon account wasn’t new either. It was created using the same IP address I’m using now in 2017. I also had payment details attached to my account as mentioned briefly before.
I would just like to receive my funds back. I worked hard to get this money. $1550 doesn’t just fall from a tree...
Will update this thread regularly.
