If you are like me who subscribes to Jim Browning’s channel you know this technology would eventually be misused by scammers. Does Mullvad has any plans to counter it?
The technology is the same as any other gift card (cash-like instrument identified by code that can be transferred over the internet or phone). Scammers also use regular bank transfers, wire transfers, cryptocurrencies, and payment services like Zelle and Venmo. Gift cards are convenient because they're cash-like, but they don't enable scams.
ATM, it doesn’t seem like mullvad is selling these in stores. If a scammer wants a quick payout with less chance to get found out, they will get the gift cards from a physical store.
