He used a stolen credit card from a car burglary to buy $250 worth of cigarettes, chewing tobacco and gas.

Someone used my stolen card once. I was told by the gas station owner that they “only ask for ID” if the purchase is over $50. Right. The person that accepted the credit card just didnt’ want a confrontation so they allowed someone to buy junk for their “habit” with money that wasn’t his. Lazy clerk!

He needs to buy a big scarf and sunglasses…..of course they may mistake him for the woman robbing banks. I guess you could look for the guy with crap dripping from his mouth from all that chewing tobacco. (Of course, with the price of gas and cigarettes these days, $250 is almost a normal purchase price)

Valero is THE WORST when it comes to fraud!! They don’t care!! My checkbook was stolen and they let the jerks write them a $168 check!! Some of the stations will even cash personal checks. So $250 doesn’t surprise me at all. I hope they catch this loser.

Make the station clerk pay the money back he knew the card was stolen no one in their right mind would spend $250 dollars at a gas station unless it was a 18 wheeler and iam sure they would’nt at one time.

Great !!!

*** A thief doing his way = soon another victim and we ll all pay soon via taxes for even more police

*** $250 purchase and no ID check = most businesses will soon pay more for insurance and card processing fees

*** With all that tobacco the dude will soon be at the hospital door with a cancer and no insurance = health care will soon be even more unaffordable which will cost more to us, the payers.

Daaaammm… please someone shoot that sucker !!!

Ziggy said:

AND by the way lets also add…

the sucker will endup in Jail sooner or later,for a couple of years, where he will cost us $90 a day which multiplied by 730 days will cost $65,700.00 plus all the legal expenses.

SERIOUSLY ! Shoot him and make sure he does not come back!
