i dont know he didnt say which address he sent to
then its probably a lie. I would assume so until he provides the address/block explorer
at first he said he got hacked, but turns out a friend played a prank on him, and took out the bitcoins in his wallet/pc and tried to send it to his own address but he sent it to a different address so the btc is lost.
I will get my money back in 3 hours
Were they sent to someone else's address, or an address that doesn't belong to anyone? If the address doesn't belong to anyone, we should add them to the "known lost bitcoins" count. I will get my money back in 3 hours
my guess is that he used the btc you paid him to pay this:

and he's desperately trying to get enough people to sign up so that he gets paid from the program (probably after a few weeks), which is then when he could buy you the giftcard.
did you ask him for a refund?

UPDATE:
the seller contacted me and said would pay me the $200 amazon gift card plus $15 in 4 weeks for the time
I hope he will honor his word since waiting 4 weeks is a lot.

I would nail him if I were you; highly doubt he'll honor anything..

Yeah, I really doubt he will send to you. Its obvious that he is not trying to redeem his rep if he's making you wait four weeks for the code, especially because that wasn't originally part of the deal, was it?
That said, I had a user offer me BTC for a moneypak and then said he didn't have it right then and it took over a month of me bothering him and finally another prominent user on the forum (who he was dealing with) forcing him to pay what he owed me. So, who knows.
15.5BTC for $200 was a little too good, even for when he posted it - especially considering he was looking BUY an amazon code from me just a few days before. I was suspicious of him from the start.
If you ever want to actually buy an amazon gift code, let me know and I'll give you more of a deal than I usually do.
bou707 is a friend of mine and he had me on his behalf contact the seller. I have basically stated that I will be acting as a mediator in this matter and laid out the basis of the complaint. If I do not get a response back in what I feel is a respectable time frame, I will get his ip address, contact the isp and assist bou707 in both filing a police report and small claims court case if the person is in the united states.
strange, you were just trying to buy amazon gift codes from me a few days ago... why the sudden change of heart? 
the thing i wanted was at a real low price but by the time i bought an gift card from someone the item got sold to someone else^this should have been a warning
he sent me some PMs, wanted me to send a gift card code first, so I backed out.
its been days since I sent him 15.5btc, yet I have not received my card
I think i got scam
if possible can the OP return my btc
Thank you

Report him on this thread so that you can warn others. I noticed he wasn't listed on the honest traders thread...
