That is very interesting that amazon was so quick to restore the gift card. I wonder if this is how people like amazon4u are able to offer such large discounts.

I am also surprised that LBC was not able to somehow protect you from being scammed with their escrow


It don't show the timestamps of the conversation with the Amazon rep, but I think they reviewed my screenshots cause it did take a bit for them to respond. Maybe that's why they was quick to restore it, idk. But I'm unsure about "amazon4u". I do think I read that thread, it sounds familiar. But I do have to give kudos to Amazon for this. I was shocked, to say the least.

Edit. The imgurs I posted to amazon was my origional receipt where I bought the card and the conversation between me and 801-704-7344


You won't have to worry about this one anymore Smiley

They are banned, but I found him again on Bitwallet under the name  Andybrown and Turtlehurricane as well. I'm not saying its the Turtlehurricane from Bitcointalk cause I read his thread and I do believe him. But they are using Andybrown and Turtlehurricane on there and idk at the others. I did message bitwallet in response to this but have yet to hear a reply. Hope it helps someone in the future not fall for the same scam I did.

Got scammed out of a $25 gift card from user Gina99 on localbitcoins.com. When you search the phone number associated with the account, it comes back with another ad to sell bitcoins on Bitwallet with user Andybrown. Amazon was contacted and they are returning the funds from the account that the stolen card was added to.

I'm actually amazed that Amazon was so helpful in resolving this matter. +1 Amazon.
