Why do 1/10 of Steam gift cards sold on WhatsApp end up being invalid?

There's a hidden issue when selling Steam gift cards on this platform, where someone may deceitfully exploit your cards without your knowledge.

I used WhatsApp for selling my gift cards due to its convenience, quick transactions, and direct communication with buyers. However, my trust was shattered when my most reliable card purchaser betrayed me. Despite selling numerous cards daily, he always settled the bills on time. There was an instance when a gift card went missing from my record, but he still paid the correct amount, reinforcing my trust.

Once he sensed my unwavering trust, he initiated a scheme. I would send him batches of card codes and images, and he would occasionally report timely recharges or claim that someone else had already used a card. I usually attributed this to the person who had spent all the money and then sold the card to me, dismissing it as an occasional issue.

One day, the same scenario unfolded. The card he bought from me happened to be a gift from my brother, and the physical card was on my desk, untouched by others. When I asked for evidence, he spent all the money on this card. Furious at being deceived, I learned a valuable lesson and insisted on settling each card instantly to prevent further deception. However, he rejected my proposal, finding it troublesome. Perhaps he hadn't realized that his chances of cheating were now minimized.

Now, I prefer selling Steam gift cards on a professional platform dedicated to gift card transactions. Cardgoal is one of them.  Click to visit Cardgoal to start your tarde journey.
