Hi guys, while browsing in a video webpage I found this and thought that it could be useful or just to cause some aware when you go out.
Pretty clever scam
Pretty clever scam
Clever, but risky.
that is very clever, but what would you do if you were in the middle of this and then the real waiter came out

Indeed. I think I'll go test this out tonight. The risk ain't that high. Hehe.Major.League.Infidel wrote:

Just theft. Possibly grand theft if more than $1000 is on the card. Haha.Coolbeano wrote:

dont think you would get very far without the PIN number
unless you used intended it for internet shooping as they dont ask for a PIN the card is useless
still nice scam

Mmm okay that went pretty fuckin' awesome...
Not a cred card though, I was thinking the same thing about PIN, didn't think of Internet purchases but still they track stolen card info down anyway.
Instead of doing the whole outside cred card thing, we just picked up the bills and bused (sp?) the table. We did it twice, got off almost 800 baht (around 23 bucks - doesn't sound like much, but in bangkok that's enough for a full night out + breakfast).

Yea i've seen this scam on a TV program called the Real Hustle, thats actually a clip from it.
Last time I checked you didn't need a PIN for a credit card, only a signature which people hardly ever check so it doesn't have to be that accurate.Zero!. wrote:

You're living in the past mate, need a PIN anywhere you use your card now (in the UK anyway).DrunkFace wrote:

And credit card companies companies will have a record of this transaction.. so will then get in touch with the site and either trace the IP of the thief or get a mailing address. Either way some men in uniform turn up with some shiny silver bracelets.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

never used anything but cash only. sometimes eftpos but u need a PIN for the card.
Netcafe's ftw. Use fake email's, ship the product to somewhere else. Better yet, get the person you hate in trouble and ship it to their houseTowelly wrote:

Really? In Australia for Credit you only need a signature, for EFTPOS you need a PIN.TheEternalPessimist wrote:

Considering how VISA and MasterCard have I think 24/7 Theft Reporting, if you notice your card is gone a quick 5 minute call to your card company will block it. This happens automatically when you're out of country too. When I was in France, at this Gap store my dad's card got charged 3 times in the span of about 3 seconds for 50 bucks. This set off a trigger at MasterCard and they blocked the card until we called and told them what happened.
It's a pain in the ass, but honestly nothing too life-ruining.
