Topic: Bought an Amazon Gift Card to buy BTC but realized I was getting scammed (Read 371 times)

I can't tell if this is a scam accusation or an offer to sell. If you're trying to sell the gift card, I'd go to the digital goods section and post further information there.

Hi everyone I'm really greatful I found this forum I'm more knowledgeable than I was when I impulsively bought this amazon gift card code with the promise of a transaction that would give me BTC at market price. A guy on Localbitcoins had set up a local transaction that he wouldn't escrow and kept insisiting that I just send him the claim code. After that I was contacted by JakeZ who I believe also tried to scam me. I told him I wanted to do the transaction with an escrow service he offered to go through BTCrow I received this email as "confirmation"

It looked suspicious to me I couldnt find a transaction ID to verify with BTCrow so I didnt send him the codes out of fear I was being scammed I now have a 350 dollar Amazon Gift Card physical card purchased legitimately no funny business would just like to get a  decent amount of BTC in return for it. If any senior members can help me out I'd appreciate it
