Hell sex offenders spend sometime in jail and get out and do it again, our system sucks I say.

I recently found out that someone took out a credit card in my name, using my SS number, but different billing address. Credit card companies will give out cards to anyone, and never check the information. So I guess I understand why WalMart doesn't require ID on CC purchases... they might lose way to much business.

What a TOOL! Flag for moderationWednesday, Aug 6 at 1:07 PM 300 wrote ...these kids are not too smart. They could have ordered anything they wanted from the internet and had it delivered to wherever. 300 dollars is nothing but i bet that other dbag's credit limit was only 500 or so.
