Giftcoinshop.com accepts NuBits (Scam site - do not use)

Has anyone used them before? Their social media icons don’t work and I’ve never heard of them before. Yet NuBits is listed as a payment option

edit: I just bought a $10 Amazon giftcard. I will let you know how it turns out.
edit2: this website is a scam. Please do not use it.

I’ll wait how it turns out, before I consider buying anything at their shop.

The domain seems to be hosted in USA and registered by someone from Romania.

I wonder why the applicable law is that of the Seychelles. Either that is a way to avoid trouble with tax on the crypto coin payments, or…

I’m curious how long it takes until you have your gift card

Yeah I figured I would test losing my money first before I advertise this everywhere

That’s very kind of you and very farsighted - not that this would surprise me
I only thought that I might write some kind of assessment of the shop to help people think twice, before they order something at this shop…
…I really hope that referring to Seychelles law is only due to tax and you receive your gift card in a timely manner.
It would be great to have a shop accept NBT only roughly one month after the launch!

Well I have not heard back from support. I’ve not received any giftcard keys. Safe to say this website is a scam. Very upsetting

Thank you for testing this website.
I’ve recognized that you updated your initial post as well.
Just in case someone doesn’t even read the thread but only the title it would be great to update the title as well…
