Looks like Giftcardrescue just shut down, and no additional payments will be made. This is terrible for anybody who was owed any money from them. Will Run For Miles did a summary of it, but it doesn't look like much recourse is available unless you can hire an attorney.

No Email From Giftcard Rescue
There have been reports that some people were emailed regarding Giftcardrescue.com going out of business. I sold them a few gift cards on 2 different occasions. I never received funds for one of the sales and for some reason still haven't been emailed about them going out of business. I would assume that there will be some form of bankruptcy proceedings. Does anyone know how I can get my claim in place?

I lost $445 to them for some gas gift cards. Been getting the run-around for 2.5 months now. Check has been in the mail twice. No response to my last CS email and didn't get a response when I tried emailing the CEO.

feel back for anyone who didn't see this thread before selling them cards and now might be SOL. there were lots of warnings to avoid these guys in this thread, but unfortunately most have probably found it AFTER having problems with them.
i had one experience with them. sold them cards last December and didn't get paid until march. didn't deal with them again.
gift card re-selling is high risk.

Got the "gee, we'd really like to pay what we owe, but we just can't" e-mail today. Kwame Kuadey should be ashamed of himself. I doubt that he is, though.

When I had issues with GCR during my one and only experience with them, I left reviews at the relevant sites with the hope that people doing their due diligence would be deterred from using their services.
Today's lesson: always perform exhaustive due diligence in your first interaction with a company when 100s or more dollars are on the line.

"A person may not willfully or knowingly obtain or exert unauthorized control over property, if the person: (1) intends to deprive the owner of the property;(2) willfully or knowingly uses, conceals, or abandons the property in a manner that deprives the owner of the property."
Md. Code Ann., Crim. Law § 7-104
My individual case doesn't rise to the felony level (<$1,000), but I'm sure that the aggregate theft is well above the Class A felony range.

Count me in too. Giftcardrescue owes me $276. Not a lot, I know, but it was 3 months overdue before they went out of business, and that was after I had called and emailed multiple times, inquiring on the status of my payment.
