Has anyone else experienced being instructed to bring a gift card in the amount of the donation instead of cash? What could the reason for this be?

In my experience that is a scam. I’ve never bought the gift card but said that I did to see what was up… As I told her I was close she insisted that I give her the card details before I could see her. There were other indicators that made me suspicious so I never took the bait. I stayed at my house and told her I was there and that’s when she started with the fuckery. Maybe 2-3 other times I’ve been asked for gift cards & I just end communications block the number and report the post to whatever site I made connection thru.
What’s really interesting is I busted one that wanted money up front via paypal, and for me to send screen shots.. blah, blah.. Luckily I have gotten savvy with photo editing using powerpoint as the program. So I sent them screen-shots of edited paypal transactions with their name and the requested “money” that I paid to their account… Mind you 90% of communication is thru text or snap chat only 2 phone calls that sounded legit, I even got pictures with odd requests like 2fingers in the air and holding a hanger… to legitimize her. So after some back and forth they asked for more money and I called them out. After they disagreed and we were arguing for a little while the male on the other end started sending me all the screen-shots of men that were sending him money, from America. He was in Ghana and created an entire profile with reviews and everything. I guess there was a ring of men doing the same and reviewing the others thru bogus accounts. He was bragging and he even video called me. He didn’t believe I had not sent money to him. The trick for him was he didn’t see the accounts so had no way to confirm. He admitted that the money went to a pool account and they were getting their share through bitcoin. So an all E-commerce laundering of stolen money. I say stole because of the false identity but if you send money or gift cards before knowing anything you’re getting just deserts there. Be smarter than the scammers. That dude had about $4K in paypal screenshots from the DAY before. Treacherous people scamming a devious business so most if not all will never get reported.
Good luck buddy! Sounds like you knew something was afoot…

star's post is one of the top five most informative, valuable information ever, and I mean ever, posted on this website.

imagine the monger who follows the instructions supplied by the fucktard in Ghana. He has the coveted giftcard in hand, texting the presumed provider from the parking lot, and then is told MORE is required, like the ID, the codes, the whatever....

star - you sir, are a ROCKstar!

Appreciate it please spread the word because the only way we get them to slow down, they’ll never stop, is stop feeding them.
