Scam: $200 In Starbucks Gc's

Im not really sure if this is the right place to post this but ill post it anyway. For my birthday last week an intern who works for me bought me $200 in Starbucks giftcards. The kicker here is that I rarely ever drink coffee and I have absolutely no use for these.

These are 8 X $25 GC's. I would prefer to sell these as a whole and I am taking offers at this point. I honestly have no idea to what would be a fair figure to ask I just want someone who actually enjoys Starbucks to get a chance to use these instead of me regifting them.

Please PM me offers thanks for listening.

I got $50 at Starbucks as a thank-you gift last week.


I went to order something the other day and got something hot, when it was like 85 degrees out.

Why on earth he bought 8 X $25 GC's instead $200 Gift Card?

Coffee fiend...

Tell me what you want for them? I may be addicted enough to buy them.

I fear the worst....

He isn't replying to PMs or emails anymore. I've opened a dispute with Paypal.

Yep.

I purchased all 8 for 100.00. He even sent me a picture of them. **sigh**

Luckily, it's only 100.00 and I spend more than that on energy drinks in a week. Still sucks though.

That's why I think it's always a good idea to post "Money sent" in the thread. This will help avoid situations like this.

Sorry to hear about this guys. Hopefully it all works out for you.

SIGH....
Yes I sent him money too. Some people's kids, huh? Anyway, to get it started. Here we go:

$70 for 4 ea $25 cards ($100)

His paypal info is :
name: R Gua
email: jetblackm5@gmail.com

I opened a dispute already. Obviously being scammed. Unless he had 20 of these cards cause he stole them and didn't want to list that many. Highly doubt that though.

I should have spoke up and been the first to post my opinion on this thread. What I was going to say is "Newly Member (Just Registered) + multiple gift cards = scam"

starbuck cards

i went to the paypal website this a.m. was going to file a dispute but they recommend waiting at least a week before filing to give seller time to send package.
i paid on 5/30 so i'll file the dispute on friday. don't really expect to receive the cards but am going to comply with paypals recommendation. will update as needed.
