Mod : This was originally a classifieds listing that was unpublished for breaching classifieds guidelines. However, due to multiple reports of non-delivery of gift cards after payment, buyers have requested for this thread to be re-opened so that discussion between buyers can continue.

Note that as stated in the notice in the classifieds section, OzBargain is providing the platform to allow users to create free listings and facilitate communication between interested parties - we do not offer buyer protection or facilitate payments. OzBargain takes no responsibility for the condition of physical goods, failed deliveries or financial transactions, and will not be involved in any disputes that occur.

Original text of listing as follows:

Hi OzBargain crew.

I have some more Coles vouchers for sale. This my third round of selling after lots of success.

I have $800 worth of E-Vouchers in total, happy to split them. I'm offering 15% off the usual price.

For example, a $100 voucher will cost $85.

All vouchers will be sent out ASAP, due to the long valentines weekend, storms, bushfires due to global warming there was little I could do.

Lets battle through these hard times as brothers and sisters and not fight one another:)

        Yea I thought so too (saw it in some other post), and pretty sure it wasn't the same user.

    • Tems on 18/02/2020 - 21:20

      Are u talking about this post https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/405327?

      The classified is by op but the said scamster is someone else… not op.

      • profeeder55 on 18/02/2020 - 21:35

        Yea true so OP has sold this before but the response rate was rather questionable this time

        • ilikedeals on 18/02/2020 - 21:42

          OP this time said “This my third round of selling after lots of success.”

          Any idea about the first two “rounds”? I can only see one classified post for $1000 worth of Coles vouchers (only one person commented/PM’ed)

          Edit - found the second ad which was $500 at 6% off (two people commented)

  • Demux on 18/02/2020 - 20:05

    I paid $340 also for $400 worth voucher to bankwest acc.

    Looks like there are more victims who haven’t reported at here. I’m wondering if OZB will do anything to help us this time…

      Why should they?

      Members do so at their own risk. OzBargain does not offer buyer protection or facilitate payments. OzBargain takes no responsibility for the condition of physical goods, failed deliveries or financial transactions, and will not be involved in any disputes that occur.

                  @Kdw26488: It's the same thing essentially. e.g I lodged through ANZ, you lodged through Westpac.
                  BankWest will then have to investigate this onto OP's account (unsure if it is actually OP for now could be hacked)

    How odd. He posts cards fairly frequently on ozbargain which sell. So he has a history of selling. Maybe he is genuine and is struggling to source the cards?

    EDIT: If he was genuine surely he would post an update though.

      You should read the thread better.

      As one of the first victims I can safely say after he kept selling past his original $800 of gift cards I knew it was likely this individual was robbing us.

      Premeditated
      Opportunistic
      Criminal.

      Past history of selling incites buyer confidence.

      He’s not to bright stealing 4-5k from 20 odd people, you don’t know their history or how hellbent they would be to pursue him by all means necessary for compensation. Whatever floats his boat maybe he enjoys being chased by authorities or victims. I certainly wouldn’t want to play that game if I was in his shoes with this many people involved for such a small amount in hindsight.
