Default Eros (Cara, Second Cup, Swiss Chalet) banned - fraud investigation
A couple people have asked about Eros and why they were banned and their threads removed. It has been removed after we received a call from the police yesterday and at Cara's request a couple days ago regarding a fraud investigation. As far as I know right now, those cards were stolen and have been traced back to eros. Eros has been banned and my guess is that those gift cards have been invalidated.

Hope that helps clarify things. Send an e-mail to forums@redflagdeals.com if you there are any questions.

Default Gift Card
To buyers who got the Gift Card from Eros, i got $4000 cash back from Eros few days ago, he told me the seller who sell him the gift card was actually stolen and he is dealing with the police at the moment. So leave your contact number online he will get back to us.

I believe the gift cards should be invalid now. Please check the gift card balances before buying any Cara gift cards. Probably a good idea for gift cards in general as well.

If I am not mistaken, Eros claimed he got the gift cards from his school's event. How come now he admit that he bought it from someone else? If a deal is too good to be true, then it's too good to be true.

Now I feel good that I catched him on selling stolen cards. I kept asking him about it before but he always said either he gets them from a friend or he bought a lot for a school event but didn't use them. A lot of people were questioning him about his cards way back in Dec. but a lot of people backed him up so it was just endless.

I would like to know how to get in contact with him since my friend still has the gift cards from eros and would like to get the money back. Any info would help. THANKS
