Agree with that completely. No one deserves to get ripped off, and I hope the OP gets made whole with this transaction. But someone offering to trade a $25-30K card for a $9K card straight up is pretty sketchy.

Yea I agree. In a case like this it would be easy to suggest using an escrow company or a mutually agreed upon middleman. If it's a scam you will quickly see the other party make up a ridiculous excuse, or stop responding all together. Even if the trade wasn't so obviously one sided it's always smart to take precautions.

right it makes the victim less sympathetic. I guess if you do that 3 times and one time its legit you make your money back though for for to be a 'legit' deal you would probably be taking advantage of someone to do the 9k to get a 30k deal..

The crook though still deserves to be punished..

All of these ponzi schemes involve victims who thought they would make 15% on their money risk free.....they are also less sympathetic but the ponzi schemer needs to be punished.
