too cheap to be true? - Saraj - 06-11-2017
steviewevie If you Google there is some stuff on fake £10 ones supposedly with logos in the "wrong" place. I haven't found anything totally definitive on that yet though, sorry.
think i found the same, i got some real ones to compare to anywhere, do you know if you can spend them all together on one transaction ?
the guy wants to do a deal 300 pound worth of vouchers for 200 quid !

Saraj think i found the same, i got some real ones to compare to anywhere, do you know if you can spend them all together on one transaction ?There are a few restrictions listed here, but I can't see anything about one voucher per transaction. You could always phone a store that accepts them (e.g. Argos, Comet, HMV) and check.
Looks like getting them as work bonuses can be quite common, so people try and offload them for the cash.

i would be spending them at argos so will make sure its got the argos logo.
good idea with ringing them, no point getting 300 worth of vouchers as according to they website the max is 10 on a voucher so thats alot of vouchers to make up the 300 quid

right the guy has accepted 200 quid for 300 worth of love to shop vouchers collected on Sunday.
Now I need to make sure they are geniune when I go, and check on spending restrictions
any experiances anyone?

Gord Why what's gone on mate ?
if you look at his feedback, someone has wrote negative saying he doesnt have any and is a conman and dont buy,
and at the time he had two on ebay with the same info, so i bought them both
in the advert he wants BACS tranfer instead of paypal says it all, and would not let me collect and pay cash, also says alot
i knew it was too good to be true ! always follow your instints

nevermind mate, glad you didnt pay any money out
too cheap to be true? - steviewevie - 08-11-2017
Ah well, worth looking into, and you were right to be cautious ! People do genuinely sell off those sort of vouchers at below face value, but maybe not usually as cheap as he was pretending to ?
