Credit Card Criminal

[jeffrey]

It's a long one, but an article that will have you both laughing and wondering how the credit card company could be so stupid. be ready to be shocked...

Credit card companies don't give a rat's ass (about identity theft fraud).

That's the conclusion I've reached after years of doing stunts like The Credit Card Prank, where I forged fake names to credit card receipts, and The Visa Prank, where dim-witted customer service representatives let me break into credit card accounts.

So when I got an offer in the mail for a new "IdentityMonitor" service from Citi, which supposedly protects you from identity theft, I laughed. First, because I was sure it wouldn't work. Second, because they were offering it to one of my own stolen identities:

Credit Card Criminal: The Identity Theft Prank

I just read that. That is crazy. I thought they would be more secure with our information.

That guy is crazy. I wonder how he would have explained everything if they had caught up with him while he was still making purchases. Buying a quarter ton of fertilizer on a credit card with someone else's name on it would have been tough to explain as a prank.

Very interesting.

We get tons of credit card offers and junk mail for a "Mike" with our last name. There's no one in our household named Mike. We moved earlier this year, and the credit card offers for this mysterious Mike are now being sent to our new address.

I like this guy's other credit card pranks.

On this one, I loved the page two question: "Why do they say taco?"
