EL BROMANCE posted:I think gas stations are really common places for stolen cards to be used. My friend in work had to list off charges the other day of fraudulent use, and it was all gas stations. Probably because they don't require human interaction and gas is something that I imagine people either need, or can sell on easy enough if they want cash.

m0therfux0r posted:I'm pretty sure the "attractive woman" fake accounts just end up trying to get you to pay for porn after you accept their request. The Playstation Network also has this happen sometimes- I had to turn off messages from non-friends because once every other week I'd get a message from a bot/fake account with an attractive woman as the picture that just said "Hey." Might also be farming up friends before selling the page onto advertisers.

stringball posted:Cute scam I came across, I need a new license and clicked the Google ad (the very first link, of course) fully knowing it would be a bit misleading, and after clicking any of the standard DMV services you're redirected to this great site Matthew Lesko has made his whole career about doing this. Though he at least gives you a physical copy and much more info in it for what you pay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utiIdR-XVJg

Dumb Lowtax posted:So carrying on my usual bad luck, our car got broken into last night. Someone completely emptied out the glovebox (we had some PII in there obviously) and center console (our fuckin quarters for parking meters), threw a couple other things around, and left everything else. Grab what they can as fast as they can and sort it out later or maybe authentic documents to use with a stolen car somehow?

Absurd Alhazred posted:I've had something weird happen to me twice on AbeBooks: I order a book from a seller, get a confirmation of the order, then get not tracking number for at least a week, ask them where the tracking number is, get some weird bullshit about here being a miscommunication with the delivery company or something, then when I ask for another update they say the item got lost and issue me a refund. Is the idea that a lot of people might forget they've ordered it, or might not use the extremely simple contact interface to ask what was up? Maybe allowing their website to oversell their stock assuming they will have some cancellations or get a new shipment in soon enough to cover? As long as you don't complain they let it ride until they can cover the order. If you do complain they just cancel. I had an Amazon seller do that. Sold me a desk showing 5 in stock and then just kept pushing the expected ship date every week.
