Look at these two...

They ordered the e-gift cards online, then called Staples Customer Service line and tried to get an override on the transactions(most weren't), and the ones that worked totaled over $250k.

Originally posted by 哈哈你看不懂中文 I've worked a POS system where I sold gift cards and it is not activated until you successfully pay for the transaction. It doesn't simply happen when it's scanned. Not sure why the hell it worked for this guy.

This is how I always thought it worked. When I was in retail, when I totaled out the transaction and told the register that the payment had been made, it'd do a little thing for a second that was clearly it telling the issuer that the card has had funds added to it.

There is something that worked for this guy though. I'd like to know what it was...

Originally posted by greenplastic I guess that's cool but I don't really see the purpose. Wouldn't it just drain your battery really quick? It would be more useful if there were some way to discretely text back.

The purpose would be to receive messages without needing to look at my phone. Secretely receive messages from another agent.

Messaging back could be done by pressing a single button that is under the clothing.

the only thing he stole was a piece of plastic, worth literally nothing, with a few numbers marked on it.

The article claims that it works. If it didn't, I doubt they'd put his picture on the news.

Originally posted by mmQ That's not a bad idea actually, but it seems like a lot of hassle for a small payout

Some Prepaid Visa cards are $20-$500. $500 at 20 stores in a day would be $10k. If the whole thing was set up correctly.

Maybe he had a bunch of items and handed the cashier the gift card first, and then after the cashier loaded it, asked if he could put it in he pocket so that he wouldn't lose it, and then later pulled out the second one and handed it back to the cashier.

I can actually think other ways a person could go about this...

So this guy went up to the cashier with two gift cards(one was likely hidden in his sleeve or something), had the cashier activate one of the gift cards, switched the two gift cards, told the cashier he had no money, and left with the activated gift card.

I had thought that the card didn't have funds placed on it until the end of the transaction. Does this mean that the cashier needs the same card to remove the funds from the card?

So I have an idea and would like for all my niggas to help me make it become a dream. It's a simple idea that I came up with on my own, but after searching, it appears that other great folks have already had the idea.

Basically it's an app that translates SMS messages to morse code and vibrates them so that they can be read without looking at the phone.

I just got a smart watch that cost somebody almost $300 and I'm going to make a little app for it that will translate SMS messages from my phone to morse code and then vibrate them to my watch that I keep under whatever jacket or sweatshirt(I just re-did my wardrobe and have like $1000+ in new jackets, coats, fleeces, and sweatshirts alone) I'm wearing sleeve.

I haven't even started on the app and I've never designed for Android Wear but I'm downloading some tuts and it'd all be open source.

Thank you for your time.

We should make something that makes it simple to buy Bitcoin with a prepaid card.

As far as staying more anonymous, have you considered just using a cheap prepaid service for religious/political/other things?

$50 is a small price to pay for a completely separate internet service that's not attached to you. Plus, you can constantly replace those prepaid devices along with accounts(email, forum, etc) and erase a digital trail.

Your only problem would your location getting logged via stingrays. But there are ways around this, to an extent...

Originally posted by Sophie Don't really care about how smart the guy is. But you can be disorganized even if you are smart. The thing is that some people have a certain pathology that makes them act impulsively. You see this with offenders that commit murders in the service of some sort of sexual impulse. Although, impulse control is a sign of intelligence what i am trying tom say is, you can be intelligent and have your impulse control impaired for whatever reason.

Well, I'm starting to realize that a lot of college grads aren't very smart. There seemed to be quite a few when I was in retail and they were just regular workers.
