About 10 minutes ago when walking home from school i found a credit card - Platnum, Bank of america. It was buried underthe snow and was crushed by a car. since my area is mostly 1 mil+ houses i wouldnt feel bad buying something. They probably closed the card but still, it's worth a try. What should i do? I really wana order the oakley anorak, but I dont wana get arrested either. Should i just ship it to a random apartment or something?

You can try to buy shit but you can't cause the shop usually cheks that the owner of the card lives at the adress you want the item shipped to.

^it doesnt matter if you FOUND it. If you use it, you can get royally fucked over. Definatly dont ship an Anorak to your house, that would be the dumbest shit. Go to a store and buy it.

Trust me. Don't even mess around with that. You can get yourself into a whole lot of shit. You will get the fbi as well as every other police agency at your house. They will raid your house, take everything that means anything from you and then press charges.

This happened to me, and I wasn't even guilty of it (long story, but I was set up for it by someone I know.) Police do not fuck around when it comes to credit card fraud.

Sure, you could get away with it if you bought something just a few times, UPS'd it to a building where no one lives at or is away, and kept it under $300 dollars (depends on where you live.. but in some places once you charge over $300 it is considered a felony offense.)

Also, take to mind that if you use a computer to buy something online then the ip address is stored with the transaction. Which means that the owners of a card could view their transactions and see that a purchase was made that they are unaware of. They can call up the company that sold it to you, find your ip address as well as any other data they saved, hand that over to law enforcement, and then law enforcement can easily trace it to your house.. Unless of course you are masking your ip.

Your best bet would be to do it through a public library or something.

Multiple transactions from the same card will trigger alerts. If you got away with it once, then leave it at that. Because if you kept on using the card you will get the police waiting for you at that place you've been shipping to. You could send it to different addresses each time.. but still, FBI is not dumb. they can pick up on patterns relatively quickly.


So after all that, if you think it's worth it. Go ahead. But I am telling you from my personal expereience on both ends of credit card fraud. It's just not worth it and plain stupid.

you can 1) not use it, and continue to live life normally

2) end up is a 6x6 prison cell with an angry horny black man named bubba.

Go ahead and buy a new pair of skis, then tell us later on how much of a dumb fuck you realized you are when you get fined soo much money that money has to fly out of your asshole just to get you out of jail.

find the people who lost it and return it, maybe they will give you a few bucks, and if not its a good reflection on you and the youth. dont be stupid and use it, and or give out the number.

fuck you. dont be a bitch. return that shit. its stressful when that shit happens, and you have no right to buy anything with it, even if most of the houses are mil and up. like said above, karmas can be a bitch.

find the person who lost it and gave it back:
1) because nice people are cool
2) because karma is definitely a bitc
3) he might give you a reward..

Why the fuck would you even consider using it in the first place? That's fucked, man- just becuase you want a new coat, you feel that someone else should pay for it? Don't do it.

that is totally not worth it. you will, i repeat, you will get caught if you try to buy anything substantial with a random card. don't be stupid. just cut it in half and throw it out, for your own sake. just get rid of the temptation. you'll thank yourself after you do.

your a lil slow to even consider using it. its not like they track shit...once they get their bill they are going to see you bought a coat and online porn...

besides, when my rents lose a card they cancell it right away and get a new one to prevent losing money

^ haha nice one.

yeah, i had my wallet stolen a few weeks ago, i had all my cards and $200 cash in it. it sucked to lose it, and i think i know who took it but theres nothing really that i can do. if i really did just lose it, it would have made my day if someone returned it, but so far i have had no luck...

they have ways of tracking it. dont buy off the internet or they will see where you shipped it. only buy from local stores. but make sure that you can trust the guy at the counter, cuz they probably have ways of telling whether the card has been cancelled. run an internet search on identity theft.
