Is that really a big problem? I mean, Apple would take a 30% cut AND you'd have to put the money in the bank first which would make it traceable if I'm not missing something?

It's pretty common for scam artists to con people into buying Google Play/Apple gift cards, so I guess that would get around the first part.
