[QUOTE=SugarNuts;6046086]Stay far away. If they are asking for gift cards, assume it's a scam. If you send a picture of the numbers scratched off, they can redeem them without having the physical card in their hands. Personally, I don't see anyone that requires a deposit, cash in hand at time of service is the best bet.[/QUOTE]Exactly! Never, ever give over any kind of deposit, and definitely no gift cards. Pay cash only, at the time of service. I do the same when I get gas for my car. Cash only.
