Good to hear from you. I've been trying to purchase a $200 Nordstrom E-Gift card by email, but it says they are having issues charging my card. I contacted my bank and was told it would take a couple of days to get it sorted. I intend to buy it for a very close associate whose birthday is today. Can you purchase it from your end for me? Please kindly have it sent to your attached Amazon email address so that Amazon won't get it locked and think that its a third party trying to steal from your amazon account because this has happened to me before as i tried sending it to a third party. So just kindly purchase the card for me and have it sent to your e-mail then forward it to me immediately as soon as you receive it. I'll then forward it to her myself she'll get it in minutes. I'll reimburse you immediately my bank have  it sort out. Let me know if you can handle this please.

Awaits your swift response

Hello,

Need a favor from you. Do you have an account with Amazon?

 

Thanks

Pretty much anything that involves you purchasing a gift card for someone is a guaranteed scam. It used to be Western Union but they were forced to clamp down on all the fraud.
