I have none pending. It was a bounced check from cards sold in early may

you checked all your previous cards balances even on processed POs (i.e. something from april or earlier)?

Trying to protect yourself against fraud by committing fraud is a slippery slope.  If you sold GC codes and were paid for those GC codes (you know, by a check that didn't bounce) then you have no legal right to those GC funds at a later date because of a separate issue with a subsequent order.

IANAL and I was not recommending one way or another but is that true?

The question is who's funds are you taking, the broker (The Plastic Merchant) or as this was sold you are taking money from  a 3rd party

And finding those lost $500 GCs a year later when you have a cash crunch can be the best feeling ever.  ;D
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

It's all been posted on DDF (and DDMS though probably not where you would expect it)

All?

I think you are confusing FT/reddit with DDF.

I'd love to be pointed in the right direction
