Please, do you guys have any advice on how to get money back for eBay gift cards? I have 3 cards, worth $200 each. I called my bank, the store I bought them from, and eBay, but none of them can do anything.
Basically, the scammer sent me a fraudulent email pretending to be my boss. I should have checked the address, but it came up as my boss' name. They said they're too busy to call but that I need to go out and buy $600 in eBay gift cards. That might sound strange, but we're in the middle of preparing for an (online) conference and are getting all sorts of weird, expensive gift baskets ready, so I figured this was just another thing. My boss had also said in the morning that she would be in a conference call for most of the day, so I took the message in stride. It also doesn't help that I was just hired in this company, and I really appreciated having a job given the situation, so when my boss' boss emailed me asking to get a gift card, I did it.
Now I feel ashamed. More than that, I have $600 worth of damn eBay cards and I don't know what to do with them. I heard that selling them on eBay and Raise.com can backfire. And then none of the sites (cardswap, giftcardgranny) seem to take eBay cards. What success have other people had? Thank you.
