How Would Someone Be Able to Purchase JB Hi-Fi Gift Cards from Auspost for Half Price or More?

So today I bought some JB Hi-Fi gift cards from someone. He could see I was wary about the gift cards as I was checking their balances one by one. So he proposed to show me the invoice from where he bought it from.

I thought great, so I can find out how much he paid them for. As he scrolled through his purchase invoice, I paid attention to any price I could spot, and it seems like he managed to get $100 gift cards for $41-$50, anyone has any ideas how he managed to get them so cheap? They were purchased from Auspost.

    Scrolled through an electronic document that he volunteered to show you?

    I wouldn't trust the legitimacy of such a document unless I had a copy for comparison.

      Yes, agree with this. we can falsify any invoice easily.

    Most likely bought using stolen credit cards and/or disgruntled aus post worker scamming the POS machine

    Given JB Hifi sell low margin items like Apple, it's not really possible.

    Back when Good Guys cards at Aus Post were approaching expiry I asked and the gift cards were handled by an external company, but even then the discount was only 20%. That was when GG was in a bit of financial trouble and cards were expiring shortly.

    $100 gift cards for $41-$50

    Are you 100% sure of the value? They could be $50 gift cards…

      100% sure, no idea how he did it but I converted his physical gift cards into my own digital ones just to be safe and they went through.

    If you're concerned, get him to come with you to JB. Buy something using the cards. Return the item later and use your refund to buy what you actually want.

    Sounds like a scam.
