To want to know what he got?

I'm in the process of getting a divorce after 10 years of marriage.
Was hoping we could stay living in the family home amicably, while seperated. However, I recently saw some notifications flash up on his phone with pictures of young women.
I decided to check his phone (never felt the need before this) and saw that he has been messaging lots of women/ sex workers on Google chat (?)
He has been stupid enough to pay some of them via gift cards, they all seem to be asking for money through amazon or apple gift cards.
I confronted him and told him to leave, he says he got nothing for the money he sent (which I don't believe) he claims he's basically been scammed by these women, but I'd really like to know what he'd be likely to get for his money? Is it videos, live sex cam, onlyfans? I could read some of the messages but saw no video etc. No point asking him further as he's a massive liar.
Lots of them ask for £50 here and there and are quite forceful in asking!
How do they use the giftcards? It's a whole new world for me.
Anyone have experience of similar?

They ask.for Amazon ones, upload them to their Amazon account & spend them. Simple

Scammers often ask for gift cards so they don’t have to send anyone their bank details and then get tracked down once whoever has fallen for their trap realises it’s a scam. They just make an Amazon profile with a random name and use the gift card on there basically, no paper trail.

Some people will actually send videos/nude photos in exchange for the gift cards, and some people just block straight after they’ve recieved ‘payment’.

He sounds like a total scumbag, congratulations on your divorce, his loss!

Even better if he got scammed Grin

I'd laugh about this forever

Thankyou for the info - that makes sense now.
And thanks for your kind words, him doing this just reinforces that I'm doing the right thing.

LaurieFairyCake - I know! what a sad middle-aged muppet he is!
