Is "PayPal Digital Gifts" run or aided by scammers?

[zorinlynx]

I often buy $100 iTunes gift cards from "PayPal Digital Gifts" when they're discounted 15%, as it's an easy way to save money on iTunes/iCloud services and apps. But my friend told me that I should stop because the gift cards sold through them likely come from the same scammers that do the whole "You owe the IRS money, buy gift cards and send us the numbers" thing.

Is this true? I can't find any solid sources for or against this theory, and I don't want to support scammers when I buy the gift cards! I'm pretty sure my friend is mistaken as this storefront is run by PayPal, but you never know these days.

Your friend needs to calm down.

If it comes from PayPal, the cards are kosher.

The scammers don't resell the cards - all they care about is the codes so they can spend the money on then.

Your friend is misinformed. It’s good to be careful of course but with the correct info and data.
