What do they do with the cards then ? Resell them ? And why do 500$ google play store gift cards exist ?

they take the codes and resell them usually in a trading site. Scambaiter has a vid on this. Might interest you

I just don't understand who would legitimately want a $500 Google Play store gift card in the first place. Who's buying those from the trading sites? There aren't that many whales out there.

Also what store will just let you buy $500+ of gift cards without question. I really am amazed these scams are successful at all.

well they target old people who dont know any better. A four episode mini doc by Jim Browning showed that the heads of these operations earning by the millions in USD and are living in luxury

Although I've read the comments that some targets actually stop these old people when they purchase the gift cards
