PCS Mastercard card payout recovery

Hello, yesterday, naively at the start I opened a PCS card on the site for a payment of €50 (paid €53.48!) for a purchase on Le Bon Coin. I then realized it was for a scam, so I did not transmit the allocated code. But I would appreciate being able to recover this blocked amount; nothing is indicated on the site except a toll-free number that is a premium-rate platform (the direct line is removed!). I didn't find what would happen if, for example, I transmitted my code to my wife—would she also be necessarily required to open a PCS account to receive the €50?
Thank you in advance if a solution can be provided

    Hello

    The only solution seems to be to buy the appropriate prepaid card, then load it with the 'code' (hoping it is still valid).

    Another option: find a trusted person in your circle who has a credit card, load it and recover part of the 50€.. Advantage: no card to buy..

      Without knowing the consequences, I opened the account, deposited the amount (50€ + 4% fees) yesterday with confirmation and the code number still valid since it wasn't used...! If I send this code to a friend, does he need to buy another card that will be useless or simply transfer it to his usual card...! I also understood that one could pay for a purchase (in-store or online?) but how...

      Re:

      To use the 'code' you must have a PCS Prepaid Card (Mastercard).:

      https://www.mypcs.com/

      This Card can be yours (You have to buy it..) or that of a trusted third party who already has one .. Any other Card is not suitable!

      Then you can transfer the deposited amount to a bank account. Or buy gadgets..

      See you later
