Credit card prank

This credit card prank pulled off by Zug.com had me laughing hysterically.  It is funny mainly because it is so true.  I could see myself getting away with trying this.  No one really ever looks at your credit card signature.  The lazy store clerk just looks at you with a look of disgust that they even have to be there.  Physical credit card security is a huge issue today, because people are selling stolen card numbers for very little money.  The last I heard it was about $10 per card number.  This means it is very easy to get ahold of someone’s card number and start charging up a card. 

The perpetrator of this prank went around and signed his name as lazily as he could.  Then when that started to bore him he stared to write other things in the box.   Some of them were:

  • A huge Scribble
  • A matrix
  • Shamu the whale
  • Egyptian hieroglyphics
  • I Stole this Card

It really is too funny not to take a look at!  Unfortunately, it is that sad kind of funny…
