    Was having a browse after seeing this wondering how people made money from gift vouchers.

    I stumbled upon this little gem during my travels. Looks like some people have more money than sense, even in the 'credit crunch'

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-Amazon-gift-voucher_W0QQitemZ170263273438QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item170263273438&_trkparms=72%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

    I used to sell on fleabay (not vouchers), and still can't understand how some dumb f**ks pay MORE than the face value of a Gift Voucher....usually the proceeds of shop lifting (refund without receipt). Vouchers are an easy way to scam people.....won't mention here, incase some spark decides to open a new income stream!

    Buying vouchers is a good quick way to withdraw funds from paypal, why not buy a voucher for a company that does not take paypal if you want to use your paypal funds to buy something, the alternative is to wait an age for the funds to hit your account if you transfer out of paypal to a uk bank account. Plus if the amount is less than 50 notes you'll incur a charge. so you could consider the few pence over the face value of the voucher a service charge for an instant free transfer of your funds out of paypal. thats using your loaf


    Either that or you might just be a money launderer

    You got me curious so I googled 'Gift Voucher Scam'

    Bl**dy hell, it's rife. I had no idea!

    Don't worry, I haven't got the stomch for it. There are far easier ways to make money!
    I'll have some cheese please, bob.

    I agree, a glorified terrace house for a 1/3 million pound, bet I will outbid you with my sniping program that I have installed, it bids within 3 seconds of auction end, you had better be quick.:D

    Laughing at others' misfortune - what a bunch of sick f--ks. Perfect exemplification of what is wrong with this country.

    Bid on it then, if you feel so sorry for their "misfortune".....you sound just like the kind of mug they are *trying* to snare.
