For reference...

Avoiding Gift Card Scams:


A. Contact the Seller.

Whomever the seller is, ask them for a refund.


B. Where was the Purchased?

  • Online?:

If this was purchased online (i.e. eBay) then contact the site, seeing if the seller can be accountable and if you can get your money back.


  • In-Person?:

If this as purchased in person, then there may be nothing you can do but contact them, asking for your monkey back.


Or...


  • A Retailer?:

If purchased at a retailer, take it back, asking what your options are for return. Gift Card return policies vary by rules of law. So, take to the Manager, asking if you can get a new card.


C. Avoiding Scams:

In all recommend getting it at a retailer - that way you can easily avoid scams. Getting it online might result in scams (and plenty are reported).
