I got arrested for Fraud, Important Lesson To Be Learned

[hineyolu]

I just got out of jail on bond for financial credit card fraud, something I never thought would ever happen to me. I was one of the main sellers on here who supplied many different accounts to various sites here to users. I just wanted to share my story to warn people to not make this mistake like I did, I'm now facing felony charges. It all started with me using someone elses account to buy food with, I'm going to use Starbucks as an example to not give away who I am. I was using a burner phone (prepaid android) and public Wifi to log into the accounts to pay for the coffee and stuff I got at Starbucks in-store and the cameras in side got my picture (just like any store in the USA does). The owner of the account noticed their funds were disappearing so they called up Starbucks hotline I'm guessing and found out what store the funds were being used at. They then called the local police office in that area to report what was happening and an investigator showed up to the Starbucks with evidence of what happened and they got the pictures from that very moment. They were able to identify me through their Facebook page and someone on there knew me but didn't know my name. You may think cops don't care about crackers, this may be true but if you use someone else's account to get things for free, in their book this is fraud. What seems like all fun and games turns into a felony. It's not worth it. To make this clear I used an account that had a $40 gift card and I'm facing felony charges over it. This can happen with Dunkindonuts, Levelup, KrispyKreme, Sam's Club, Kohls, Walmart, Ulta, Walgreens, Panerabread, Chickfila, Sonic, Mcdonalds, ANYWHERE that has a mobile app that supports mobile payments/giftcards. I'm not trying to scare anyone to ruin anyone's sells but just wanted to throw this out there on how easily it is to get arrested for this shit. It only takes one customer to take matters into their hands and call your local sheriff office over their account.
