Egifter has given me strong reason to believe that it is crooked--essentially a phishing site.

I paid with PayPal. First, Egifter demanded that my Egifter login (email address) be the same as my primary PayPal email address. Egifter then demanded that I give it my mobile phone number, and checked it by sending me a passcode.

A couple minutes after my purchase, I get a phone call from a bizarre foreign phone number (337171467519). I did not answer, but rather blocked it. It is obvious that this was some kind of double-check from Egifter.

Here's the bottom line: The whole point of using PayPal to buy online is that the seller should not need any further personal identification. The only reason that a seller would do this is to phish. For example, the seller may be hoping that my PayPal password is the same as my Egifter password. (It isn't.) By getting my phone number, the crook hopes to port my cellular account so that he can then hijack all my other accounts.

Once again, Egifter is almost certainly crooked.

By the way, I tried to change my Egifter password. It suspiciously fails to do so.

I have purchased various discounted gift cards from it with no issues. No fraudulent activity has come about as a consequence of my use of the site. It is obvious that the OP who is a L10: Grand Master also has had no issue with it.

Glad to hear it!

My primary reason for suspicion is that Egifter:
- Demanded my cellular phone number
- Checked it by sending a passcode
- Demanded that my Egifter login be the same as my PayPal login
- Called my phone from a bizarre foreign phone number, apparently to further check that the number is an active cell phone.

Why? The primary reason to use PayPal online is to protect your identity from the vendor rather than disclose it.

Let us charitably assume that the requirements are coming from PayPal, who has perhaps been burned too often by chargebacks from gift-card scams. If so, this is all the more reason for me to avoid such transactions. If PayPal considers them highly scam-prone, I probably should too--IMHO.

I'm not sure that they're trying to scam people but I certainly had issues trying to use PayPal. I tried 5 times and it was auto cancelled every time. Tried PayPal and PayPal key. Not using anything else but PayPal on their site. Anybody else have the same problem?

I suspect that the reason egifter is asking for all of this info is to sell it.

I looked up reputation on them and looked fine.
I made account in egifter, sent code to confirm phone, also email to confirm email.
Bought codes with paypal, immediately sent verify what email you bought with.
Then immediately email came with codes, very nice, able to copy paste. You can save PDF.
Remember Vudu can only hold 3 codes at once so if you buy more just hang on to the pdf or buy some movies.
Everything took like 3 minutes.
BitDefender had no issues or warnings.

"Crooked" is just a non-descript term. It can mean a range of things, from stealing your money to selling your private data.

Egifter is definitely selling your data. But so does slickdeals. They're both crooked in that sense. Guess you have to either create some bad data like I do, or be okay with the compromise of having your data out there in exchange for cheap stuff.

To follow up, I just tried this 6 times. Each one was cancelled and denied.

I tried 4 cards. Each transaction triggered the fraud alert on each of my cards. After I approved of the transaction with my credit card company, I tried checking out again. The order was placed, then cancelled by egifter within a minute.

All of my personal information matches every single one of my cards and my egifter account. There's no reason why this should get cancelled. Their support is atrocious.

There's no way this site is legit. It's definitely a scam of some sort. Maybe they won't charge my credit cards with fraud, but they're definitely a crooked ass site. $25 for $20 is too good to be legit on a shit site like that.

Is there anyway to get this deal without entering a phone number?

I can't answer the question because I wasn't willing to take the chance on purchasing from the vendor. It's not as good a deal, but I opted instead to buy directly at VUDU using the current 15% off $50 promotion.
