Safe to buy a huge Air Canada gift card?
« on: July 21, 2014, 06:49:39 PM »
Someone offered to sell me an $2500 Air Canada for $1500... Just wondering, what risks are there in this deal?

He said he will meet me at a coffee shop and I can reserve the ticket using his card and pay him after the booking is successful. So what if I book a fully refundable ticket and have Air Canada refund it to a NEW gift card? Would they do that? What are the risks?

Thanks!

If you feel uncomfortable ask him to show you how he got it. If it smells like a fish it's a fish
