Description
I too was scammed by this gift card website, for my Apple Gift Card at $705. It looked reputable, even so I was even skeptical at first and even when I was on a chat as well as doing this through their website a submission. After this, they proceeded to steal all funds from my Apple Card and never pay me money quoted, $648.60 payout promised via my PayPal for gift card. Days. No money came, still today. We know this is a scam. They took my card info. redeemed and still today have not paid me. This was to process same or next day and it's been many days. I am shocked. I plan to post this review on every and any venue online possible to help warn others not lose their money to such sites and scammers. I feel dumb, I should've done more research on this before I gave them my PIN but now my loss is $648 and feels bad and it's crazy. My Apple gift card stolen by them since I got ZERO. They got $705. Sounds like theft because it is. When you take and not pay. They know and see I reached out plenty on chat and email but no response ever since they took my funds and card info. to steal it. Silence since same day they redeemed it and proved they did so, as per Apple support, they used my card on 8/27 after I've had it for many months not used up until I go to their site and looked at reselling it online . Now, they still have never paid me for the card as agreed. I want my money, now. Pay me my funds. I have reached out since then so much it's been so many times it's incessant but now I am done. They also have a phone number that's disconnected and another number that nobody answers and then tells you their voicemail is full? That VM greeting is of some girl named Destiny. What's that about? I also spoke to the local police (from the website posted address who told me this address is just medical offices and isn't anything else. When I first came to the site looking and asking on their chat about the process I had somebody communicating with me and helping me and after the scam I'm aware this place or person is/has been now intentionally ignoring me and still now has not given me my payout vis PayPal nor have they refunded me back my gift card of $705 by now. I told them via chat and emails that I have already moved forward with reporting them to any and all avenues of authority. I am doing my rounds now and seems now my only recourse to want others from this shocker. I will go to my own state and Fla. state Attorney General offices next to report this cyber theft next. I'm checking my PayPal every day and I see 0 balance and we do know you stole my money when I should see I have a balance of $648.60 from your company for my giftcard. Now, due to the fact that they never paid me as promised and then, stole all the funds from my gift card and now I have n nothing in return? This really feels bad and I needed the money from the card ad this sure sounds like robbery to me. All they do is ignore me and not do right. I feel dumb as I'm usually good with being suspicious BUT seeing the website and logos and testimonials and they tout no fraud AND site safety and fraud/zero tolerance? Portray a no worry deal? I'd say do WORRY and just avoid uysiong them despite some positive out of the negative scam feedback. They SCAMMED my money is all I know today and this is days later. Where are my fund in PAYPAL? You best deposit my funds now, today. I warn. Do not use them! and don't go by posted up testimonials from people and news channels and others. I'm going to be contacting those organizations to see if they're actually legit sponsors to this company and know anything more about them and reput. I see now this site preys upon the design of GC reselling and so, here is the news, for the news channels I see you use logos for, that that perhaps this is news for and to them to know about? Yes, for course, if they are your sponsors to this company. I'd want to know how and why, It is known that stealing money from people via online venues in this manner is cyber theft and I wonder how you sleep at night but I daily expect and want my money or I want my gift card back of $705. You already been reported to FTC and FBI, you better start doing the right thing today. Give me my money now or give me my gift card back. You are fully aware that I've not yet been paid and been reaching out about you not doing so, then continually ignoring me ever since. Apple has since verified you redeemed my card on 8/27 when I was in touch with you for this submission and payout I was told within 14 hours, which never took place but your redemption did. When I had choices of other sites to use! Not my dumb luck, please simply pay me or return my gift card funds by now. You used it. If you've paid the others, why wouldn't they be paying me by now? Scammers. There's also a person a few days before me on trust pilot who reported the same scam on his gift card from GameStop. And a few others are out there as well. I have seen a few. I wish I knew before this scam on me for 705 bucks. It really hurts. UPDATED as of SEPT 2nd still NO CONTACT, NOT PAID YET!!? This is crazy.
