Ordering used books with stolen credit cards
Archive: Online bookselling
An order from Indonesia made me a bit wary this morning. Along with Nigeria and Eastern Europe, Indonesia is one of the places where stolen credit cards are used to order books.
That the customer asked for Global Express shipping made me less wary. I figured he was a journalist who needed the book (a collection of Door's lyrics) for an article.
When I started to reply to his email I noticed his name appeared as “Stolen CC's.”
I guess when you are using someone else's credit card there's no reason to worry about the shipping cost.

Feel free to share your feelings about Ordering used books with stolen credit cards. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.
This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
