You have been scammed. Only buy gift cards from vendors who have some kind of security around them. Thieves steal the codes and then wait for you to buy them. Once they are validated they get in and redeem them before you can. You can go to the store and ask for a refund but they won't know if you are the one trying to do the scamming, so I'm afraid it's likely your loss. An alternative is to buy gift cards from Apple online.
