return credit card?

[senelcoolidge]

If you found a credit card on the floor in a parking lot of say a walmart or some other store what would you do? Would you return it to the store, keep it and try to use it?

Free gas.

Free gas.

:rockon:

I've found two credit cards in the past, thankfully my tank was close to empty on each occasion. I would use it once to fill up and then throw the card out. Just make sure the gas station doesn't make you enter a zip code.

I found a CC once and I did not return it to the store. I just called the number on the back and told them I found a credit card. It is a federal offense using someone else's credit card, so no I would most certainly not try to use it.

[SCREWstonRockets]

If you found a CC and used it, you are a dick. I hope you lose your wallet and somebody maxes out your cards and steals your identity. Wouldn't be that hard to max out your $200 limit card anyway you broke bitches.

[Godzuki]

thing is there is so much CC fraud, and law enforcement has so much other shit to worry about on top of being lazy about stuff like that, its real easy to get away with using it unless you try to use it in person somewhere. i wouldnt use it at a atm either. gas seems like a good choice(never been to a gas station that didn't ask for zip w/ CC on computer so might have to go in) but they got cameras too, just highly unlikely law enforcement will pursue it to that level unless its some fraud ring.

the credit card company will likely eat the fraud too, and the owner will just be real annoyed. its ghetto to use it tho.

I found a CC outside of a bank and took it inside and gave it to them. I am weary of giving to stores because some workers are ***** and might use it, but a bank I figured would do the right thing.

Otherwise I would treat it as one of my expired CC's, shred it. The person who lost it will have to get a new card either way

[Draz]

I'd return that shit. You don't know how people earn their money and what they do to survive. People live on the edge supporting themselves let alone a family. Even if I wouldn't get caught I wouldn't do it.

Genius move. You know that license plate thingie in the back of your car. Well they can use it to trace your activity back to you. It's unlikely the bigger gas stations would go to the trouble to do this, but a smaller mom and pop gas station who gets hit by a chargeback from a CC company might.

This just happened to my dad yesterday! He found a credit card in the parking lot at Walmart. My mom called the banking institute and the bank said to drop it off at their location and they'll reach the customer.
2 days ago I dropped my phone at the mall. I took an hour retracing my steps. I was at the mobile retailer already ready to buy a new phone. I felt crushed. The dealer called the phone and customer service answered it. Someone returned my phone. An HTC One M8, RETURNED. Talk about the spirit of Christmas
Losing something, whether a phone, wallet, keys.....is such a devastating feeling. Victimizing someone by using something they lost is an assholish thing to do. Having it returned and giving the feeling of relief back to the person is worth more than a tank of gas

[DeuceWallaces]

You should bring it to the bank if the branch is near you.

If not, you should shred it or cut it in half.

If you have a way of contacting the person and confirm that it's them you can try that but it's best to do the first two options.

Both times I used a found credit card was doing the winter. And I actually covered up part of my license plate with snow just in case lol probably not necessary but I took the extra precaution. So don't worry I know how to use a found card and not get caught.

One random day while out for a run/walk I decided to check in someone's mailbox for a package or whatever. I had never opened another person's mailbox before. So I open it and there is a ladies pocketbook in it :oldlol: so of course I take it out and walk away. I go through it and find $20 and a few gift cards which I took. I decided to be a nice guy and I returned the rest of the stuff back to the mailbox. So I guess someone else had found this pocketbook and placed it in the mailbox as it was the address on the girl's license and I just happened to come along and find it inside the mailbox lol pretty crazy :oldlol:

[senelcoolidge]

I made this thread because the other day I found a credit card. I thought about just cutting it in half, but I was in a hurry. I gave it to the supervisor/manager of the store. Probably not the best move if this person is a bastard. But hopefully they were responsible and put it away and did the right thing. I would hate for it to happen to me, so I hope this person finds their card or at least doesn't have any sort of fraud committed against them. There are good people out there, but it seems like nowadays there are a lot of parasites, just lazy dishonest people.

[GimmeThat]

I would probably say that this is a great question on a questionnaire before someone attends their counseling/therapy session.


since you know, everyone taking it is thinking

"faking perfection, until I get out of this mother f-ing joint!!!!"

Another story: So I'm walking into a building on campus heading to class. As I walk in some guy rushes in past me frantically searching for something, after a few seconds he heads up the stairwell still on his search. My spidey sense starts to tingle as I feel an opportunity to find his misplaced item before he does. I take a quick look around and spot a black iPod classic sitting on the bench right in front of me. I quickly grab it, put it in my backpack and head to class. I ended up selling the iPod on eBay for over $200.

A couple weeks later the same guy was making my sub for me at the on-campus deli :oldlol:

I'm not proud of these actions I've taken but I don't regret them. If I find something I take it as a bit of luck for myself and I deserve to profit from it.

:biggums:
You're not unintentionally finding these valuable things. You're stealing them, bro.

The iPod was a little sketchy because I did see the owner, but it was still his fault for leaving it lying around. I've found a couple phones before too and sold those as well. The way I see it it hurts the person losing the item a small amount and helps me out a small amount. I wouldn't expect anyone to try and return a valuable item to me.

Here's a thread of this dude crying about his "brother's" Mac(aka himself) getting stolen and pleading with people to give him advice on how to recover it. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Completely different situation :oldlol:

You can't compare finding an item left around to going into someone's car and blatantly stealing.

Nice try tho :lol

edit: And it was my brother's mac and I felt bad for him as he was already going through a tough time, I have a $250 samsung chromebook

[DeuceWallaces]

They're the same dipshit. It's called stealing.

You sound proud about it with your lol's and :oldlol:. You are taking pride when you think you are being sneaky and choose to brag about it on a basketball forum. So you think you deserve to profit off someone else bad luck? Why does anyone who does nothing to earn something "deserve" it? If someone screws up and misplaces something, why do you deserve it? WHat exactly did you do to earn it?

[tomtucker]

doing bad shit to others will allways come back to bite you in the ass..........sooner or later

Deserve probably wasn't the best choice of words. I consider myself someone who takes advantage when an opportunity presents itself. If I see a wallet on the ground I am going to pick it up and make sure no one saw me do it. That's just how it is. Not saying it's right, just being honest.
