Don't deal with this scammers user. Hasn't paid me 100 dollars yet for my steam money. F*cking scammer

Willing to buy, can you use escrow?

I highly doubt your local police department is going to give a shit that you used a hacked gift card balance. Starbucks wouldn't even waste their time with an investigation they just disable the accounts.

I hear ya, but an "excuse" can be:

"But officer, I purchased this card from a seller on craigslist that needed cash and wanted to sell me their balance/account"

** Wouldn't that be good enough??

"They" couldn't prove O.J. guilty so I'm not worried about buying cheap cards.  ACCOUNTS is another thing.

Thx bros for ur thoughts...much appreciated

It doesn't matter what they believe. It's what they can prove. They need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you intended to receive stolen goods. Simply using a gift card is not proof, by any means, of intent.

Buying cracked accounts, on the other hand, is illegal, and would show intent. I would suggest buying gift cards, not accounts.

Ignorance of the law does not excuse you from it. THey will prosecute you the same if they believe you knew about it when you bought it. You could say you got it from a friend or raise.com or any of those sites since most of those are stolen cards as well.

Frankly I'd rather not login to someone else's account or a fake account loaded with money from a stolen credit card and knowingly steal gift cards or product from that credit card connected to that account.  That is pretty blatant and is obvious theft tied to directly you.  What if SBX was able to trace your use of a stolen account (credit card) by connecting a purchase with a photo from a store camera? **IF** they wanted to I have no doubt they could.  At least when you get an e-gift there is SOME semblance of your LACK OF knowledge of how they are obtained despite how obvious even that is.  You could at least plead ignorance by saying you thought you were getting a good deal. 

In your guys opinion, which seems to last longer... Egift codes vs login account (email/password).

Say you receive a $50 balance.  Which one would u rather have??

One thought that occurred to me is this. I recall reading a post by a former bulk gift card seller. Normally, when unauthorized purchase is tied to a gift card, only the gift cards tied to it (through transfers) are shut down. This guy said that after a certain period of success, law enforcement was able to tie batches of unauthorized purchases of cards by his distributor, and virtually his whole supply of live cards was quickly shut down.

Maybe something similar.

It would be unlikely , but since they are carded, I think starbucks goes through the request of unauthorized card usage in a queue. Since the problem might be increasing for them, they are likely to be doing this in a quick manner to minimize losses due to carding. If the dealy is on the customer end delaying in reporting the unauthorized usage, then its unlikely they will be able to expedite the cancellation on those cards.

Interesting theory and makes sense although I have probably 6 or 7 unused cards bought from various sellers (and none of those sellers survived more than a week (at least under the name they used) that are anywhere from 3 to 12 months old and still good. It could be some are purchased with "real" money that is being "moved" and some are just taken from hacked accounts.  The hacked account cards are pretty obvious because they have many transactions (store purchases) already on them.  Those rarely last.

Not sure that it has anything to do with Starbucks -- although it could. That would be impossible to determine. One possibility is that the latest batch was "old", meaning the period of time from which these cards had been purchased (fraudulently) was significantly longer than with previous batches. My thinking is that most chargebacks occur once the credit card statement arrives -- weeks later. In this case, those weeks of lag didn't exist.

Just one possibility, anyway.

  I'll take an "ECROWN"!!!   My husband always says I'm the queen of the house. 

Yea, I miss Sophia too especially since all these morons are showing up hijacking HER thread.  She should lock it until when or if she comes back.

From her email to me, she mentioned that alot of sbux cards are crapping out instantly or in a few hours (unlike before).  She said once there is a "fix" then she'll be back on here ready to sell.  ETA is unknown tho 


What changed?!? What did starbucks do on their end??

Sofia is gone? 

hii all.. i have more card starbucks 100$. need contact me ICQ 653999710.. i sell more.. Need client buy more

i accept ecrown or i send first !!!

they will just shut down that one card, however if it happens too many times they will shut down your account.  read their account terms and conditions. i have had a few cards rejected in store over the last year or so (have bought & used dozens).  the worst one was my first one over a year ago.  i lost over $200 of "real" money,  i stupidly merged it into my gold card and boom .... all gone.  i had bought that card off ebay not here.  also had cards go bad bought from raise.com,  happened both to dunkin donuts and sbx from raise.  also bought physical cards with egifts then tranferred that to a 3rd card ..... boom, shut down.  they can easily track them.  over the long haul i am way ahead. i have some unused cards from here going back almost a year.  its a crapshoot. but despite what any seller claims the chances are 99%  these cards are obtained from "questionable sources."  since there is no way to buy "real" sbx cards at a discount of more than maybe 5%-10% at a place like lowes or target or whatever (not even sbx employees get a discount on gc's) how can a so called "legit seller" sell one for $15,$20,$30 or whatever for $100.  i guess maybe someone can buy a card from a store with a stolen credit card or a hacked gift card so tecnnicaly the card is legit but not how it was obtained. 

I have never been rejected in store, however 1 card went dead on me. I called them to ask why, they just said tough luck and I got nothing.
I wasn't legally charged or anything, you are just out of your 100$.
