Yeah, it looks like it, none of my emails show my IP address. I asked him if hes going to give out codes to the people whos IP dosnt show but he said that hes going to make a video of him redeeming a code for proof instead of giving out codes.
The idea of him making a video video of him redeeming the codes doesn't make sense.
And IP address... Pffttt! There are many ways to block that from going out. And which one is he talking about? The IP of our computer, router, iPod? I could just do it from my iPod or my school's computers, or my iPod at my school using their Wi-Fi.
pretty sure this IS a scam. i was quite happy to recieve a $10 voucher which he said he got from a promo company, but since then my account that I use for US purchases has been disabled...
i've emailed apple saying that if the voucher WAS bought with a stolen credit card then i'm happy to reimburse. what would you suggest doing? x

annnnddd I think we now know how he did it: http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2009/03/itunes-store-gift-codes-fall-prey-to-hackers.ars
it's definately a scam of sorts, apple emailed me back to confirm that the account was suspended because of credit card charges being refuted, so yes, leave well alone...
on a side note, i was completely honest in my email to apple and offered to reimburse them for the money gotten through this guy and they were VERY kind and helpful in their reply...
