ILPT How to do a man-in-the-middle scam

This method is best utilized to get digital stuff, like amazon gift cards/iTunes etc... since you can trade them directly into bitcoin on sites like Paxful and LocalBitcoins, so I'm going to use that as an example.

Search on local classifield ads sites, facebook, craigslist etc for someone selling digital gift card codes. We will call this person MARK A. Organize a price with MARK A, and ask for their PayPal email for you to make payment to. Tell them you will make payment after you get paid from work.

Now make a listing on a classifield ads sites, facebook, craigslist etc for a marked down random expensive item for the exact same price MARK A is selling his digital gift card for.

Wait for someone to reply to your ad wanting to purchase your item. We will call this person MARK B.

Send this person MARK A's PayPal email, but claim it is your own.

Once MARK B has paid MARK A, ask MARK A to send you the gift card code.

MARK B will eventually start a PayPal dispute once they realize they are not actually getting the item they have paid for but by them you have already cashed the gift card code.
