iPod This is too good to be true. Scam?

[TheEpicFilmCo]

Hi
Browsing Gumtree just now and I found this.
I sent him an email asking him if it was a scam and he sent me a $10 iTunes code. But that was probably just to hook me in so I go and spend £35 on a fake code.
What do you think? He can't possibly be selling them for so cheap could he?

I think it looks too good to be true. I am going to go with scam.

 

[muldul]

Yeah, my advice, spend the free gift code and then stay the hell away.

 

[gjw4u]

Feels like a good old scam. I would stay away.

Anyone know any Australian scams that will send me out a free $10 voucher?

 

[JG271]

Scam. But hey, enjoy your gift card voucher! Thats not bad!

ive used different email acounts and gotten three seperate 10$ codes from him

 

[muldul]

What did you say to him to give you the voucher, he wouldn't give it to me; all i asked though was "was this ligit"?

 

[opera57]

haha its hard to say wether its legit or not.. the fact you got a free $10 voucher is alright though, might have to give that a try!

 

[iSaygoodbye]

i said i dont believe its real can i pay after getting the code then he gave me the 10$ one

Just ask for him to prove that they work lo.. he sent me two 20$ codes on two different Emails.

 

[iSaygoodbye]

ive now gotten four from him using different emails. haha thanks OP

 

[ntrigue]

It's legit, just not legal. He is using fraudulent credit cards to buy the Gift Cards. If he were caught iTunes may rescind on the code he gave you and your account would go into the negative $10.

Just sent him an email. Hopefully he gives me a $10 voucher.
Do the codes only work if you live in London?

i live in the us and four of them worked for meh

 

[gan6660]

I got one and it worked sent him emails for 5 others through anonomous emails and waiting for a response.

 

[muldul]

Yes, i got one too. I am also waiting for a response on another one. Do you reckon he will work out some one is using him. Because every time he gives out a free gift card, he is increasing the odds of him being caught without making any profit.

I would be a bit worried in using the voucher.
If you can redeem the voucher then it must have been bought with a credit card. It would be a safe bet Apple would have a record of the voucher and the credit card that was used. When the card is reported stolen and tied to the voucher you redeemed.... BUSTED.. on your account.
If you still wanted to take the chance open up a new account without your name. But then Apple would still know the IP of the machine where music it was downloaded.. thus, again you could be BUSTED

Good luck

 

[gan6660]

Just received another one I am up to $20 now.

 

[jake921660]

I got a code of him but I live in Australia and it doesnt work.

But after the post above this Im not sure I want it anyway.

 

[Janglo]

By fraudulent, do you mean real and stolen or fake and generated?

 

[iTzChasE]

I got 10 bucks. Can you get in trouble if he somehow stole these?
