I just bought 104 iTunes codes for $20.

Text

Just purchased 100 (+4 extra he had) iTunes codes for free songs from a random guy from the hardforums. He seemed pretty legit, had a good story as to why he had the codes and why he was selling them. He even offered for me to pay $5 down, he would send me 25 codes, I would confirm they worked, and he'd send the other 75 for the $15 left.

I paid $5 down, but he sent 50 codes, along with a note that he'd send the other 50 once he called his uncle to get them from his laptop. Then I would pay him the rest of the money. He sent all 100, plus an extra 4 he said he found that I could have as a gift. All of them accepted fine, with no problems.

Only thing is, now that I sit back and think about it, is this too good to be true? Maybe there is a scam going around that I don't know about it. I'm going to purchase a few songs that I've been meaning too anyhow, and pay the rest of his money in an hour or two.

shut up. its $20 bucks
I was thinking that maybe I'd use all these codes, and if for some reason they weren't legit, iTunes might go ahead and charge me for all those songs. Hell, I don't know, just working out the options.
 
there have been lots of free itunes offers i.e gap, wells fargo, geico. he probably just harvested a bunch of codes.

Wells Fargo is where he got them from. Just got 16 songs I've had in the shopping cart for a while, everything seems fine.

I'm fvcking paranoid, it's pitiful.

ummm what do you mean he sent 50$ along?


$'s?
Fixed, not sure where the $ came from.

okay just making sure because there is a common phishing method out there where they send to much money on a fake check our cashier's check etc and have you send the difference back...
