I just found out I am an IP broker and I take money in gift cards...
I still hope it is a joke, but if it is not, please make sure you contact me via PMs here before doing any deal with "me".
FYI I dont do IRC, facebook, twitter, any kind of social media, not even skype. There might be other maouniques out there, I am certain about at least 2, but there could be also people posing as me, this scared me enough to make this thread.
In general, if someone contacts you claiming is someone you know, or working for some known company or other things and is offering a deal, first you have to check him/her by going to the source.
That is an absolute necessity, especially when payment must be done outside of the usual ways towards that entity.
Far from taking money in envelopes, I, for example, have a fully registered company and pay my taxes. As a person might be hidden, but my company is not, even though the www shows a blank page :P
