Hi. I came across this website a couple days ago (giftcarddrainer.com) that lets you exchange your visa gift cards for bitcoin. They do have an A- from the better business bureau but one of their requirements is giving them a bank account number. is this safe to do?  could it be used fraudulently  if it were to get in the wrong hands? (say a 3rd party hacker or something). Sorry to come across as if I'm wearing a tinfoil hat  Grin



Thanks

I wouldn't mess with it, personally. It might be legit, but the limited upside doesn't compare to the potential massive downside. Keep your Bitcoin close, but keep your bank account even closer, shady stuff has been know to happen in this sector.
