What to do:
A card is only redeemable in the country in which it was purchased. So, where did you get this card from?
Where was this Purchased?
A. Online?:
If this was purchased online (i.e. eBay) then contact the site, seeing if the seller can be held accountable and if you can get your money back.
B. In-Person?:
If this as purchased in person, then there may be nothing you can do but contact them, asking for your money back.
Or...
C. A Retailer?:
If purchased at a retailer, take it back, asking what your options are for return. Gift Card return policies vary by rules of law. So, talk to the Manager, asking if you can get a new card.
III. Avoiding Scams:
In all I , recommend getting it at a retailer - that way you can easily avoid scams. Getting it online might result in scams (and plenty are reported). So, go to a retailer, and then add it to your Apple Account right then-and-there after the transaction goes through at the cash register. It'd be more safe, from what I read on these forums.
