Selling Amazon.com gift cards
Here is how I was stupid and got scammed by the imposter, if you are interested to see my stupidity, lol:
First, I did not double-check the Skype name so I did not realize I was talking to an imposter. Then I told him that I have $3000 in Amazon GC (yeah, that's basically asking 'Please scam me!' even with trusted members I would say). He used another Skype account to call me (obvious sign #1). I told him we'd do $50 first, then after that we can do bigger amounts. He said no, saying he cannot say many payments with his Paypal account (obvious sign #2), and asked to do $500 instead. I typed the first two codes in Skype chat. He said don't type it, but say it over the voice call, mentioning that his keyboard does not work as the reason (obvious sign #3). After giving him $500, I asked him to give me my payment as we agreed. He said his Paypal account cannot send anything lower than $1000, 'cos his account is a business account and it has a minimum amount (obvious sign #4). All in all he managed to get $1200 in Amazon gift cards from me, and end the Skype call as soon as he got the last one.
I know I am dumb as fuck for falling into it this deep. This is almost as stupid as falling for those Nigerian scams that offer you money out of nowhere.
