Can anyone explain to me why a provider that insists on getting part of their compensation in a gift card instead all in cash? I am wary of deposits in any way, but I do not understand why all cash isn't better for all involved.
Since you can register your gift cards online now, can you find out where it was redeemed? Provider asked electronic gift card. Just numbers.
Only cash in "exchange" is illegal .
her logic dictates she wont have to pay taxes on it?
then I think that’s a scam. “She’ll” give you a location where you think you’re going to meet. When you’re outside, she’ll insist that you give her the gift card info before allowing you to come up. But, she’s not even there. She or he is in Nigeria probably.
Now, gift cards as a deposit, that’s not necessarily a scam. You just need to research the provider. If she doesn’t have reviews, she should at least be listed on several sites and have a social media presence.
