The same guy now has a $2,000 gift card for $1,200. This is starting to sound too good to be true. I don't understand how he is getting gift cards in such large amounts.
Would you guys trust this person? Has this happened in the past? Thanks.
looks like I am in the same boat. I dealt with some one on craigslist. I booked the tix on united.com and they are eticketed and confirmed. Now reading your post it seems I am scammed as the guy is not responding at all when I asked about proof of purchase.
Porsche can you please share your experience? Did you ever got call from United after your flight asking for money? It is clear that these gift cards are purchased using stolen credit cards. It is just a matter of time that you get call from United after credit card owner has filed a dispute with issuing bank.
Please let me know.
