Valdez and co would steal unsuspecting people's credit card info in order to make a "clone" of their card. Thieves would then use high-capacity tanks hidden in pick-up truck beds to fill up on their mark's dime.
Earlier this morning, we were talking about a New York woman who gave a homeless man her credit card so he could go buy a drink and a pack of cigarettes.
Based on this, we got on the topic of signing credit card receipts.
In a world ruled by Social Media and the Internet it is almost impossible to get away with ANYTHING. News, photos, and stories are posted instantaneously and travel worldwide....which brings me to my point. If you are going to be a complete dick to your bartender/waitress, it is probably not a good idea to give him/her your credit card...
Who says that pennies aren't really worth anything? What they are really worth is actually priceless. They can really piss off your credit card company. Just ask pastry shop owner Thierry Cahez of San Deigo, California. He got fed up with the ridiculous fees that they were charging him and they wouldn't let him refinance, so got sweet revenge by paying his $6500 balance with 650,000 pennies.
