If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. I am guessing these are all stolen cards. A store is not going to give that much of a discount. But you could possibly make some money if you are willing to turn the investment guy into the FBI for selling stolen property.

Its illegal and the IRS is not the agency you notify on this FBI is more correct plus letting home depot know is a help as well.

The Colombian Cartels have been doing this for years.
The "Gift Cards" are fake.

this is a scam - and its an illegal practice. Don't even think about getting involved in this. This is federal - and will not be pretty when he is caught.
