Getting back at credit card fraudster...

[bryce]

So my credit card number was hijacked. And I think it was a dopey kid. He only charged $12 worth of stuff in an online order, but here's the thing - he had it shipped TO MY ADDRESS. Not only that, but he used HIS email address in the order. So when I called the company to inquire about this charge, they were able to tell me his email address (I'm assuming it's his, anyway, I suppose it could also be a fake or hijacked, but this guy doesn't seem so bright, so I'm thinking it's legit. I mean, who would go through the efforts to place an online order and have it arranged to be shipped to the person who's card number he stole?)

SO - clearly his email addy needs to be spammed to all get out or some such - is there any website out there that will do this? Or anyone have any other good ideas? Just something to get even on the time and efforts I've had to put forth to cancel my card and arrange for a new one, yada yada.

You'll be able to sign him up onto gay porn mailing lists with relative ease. That shit does not stop.

Signing him up for spam is taking it way too easy on him. I'd probably have much more fun with him than simply spamming him with porn.

[JediKooter]

Send him an email that says his shipment has arrived and where and when he can come get it. Then let the fun begin...

Better yet.......send him an email saying he forgot to include his address on the order, then have fun, then have him arrested.

[Atocep]

See, if this kid is stupid enough to not change the shipping address to his own and used his email address there's potential for fun. I'd sign up for a gmail account using some random name and I'd email him telling him the name attached to this email address is under investigation for credit card fraud (I'd list the actual purchase and a bunch of sex toys and other random shit as stuff allegedly purchased just to scare the shit out of him) and if there's any questions concerning the matter they can be directed to your gmail address. I'd keep it vague and not get into particulars so that you can avoid impersonation. I'd see where it goes from there.

Then I'd plug his email address into every porn site I could find. ;)

This reminds me...I need to call my CC company to find out how their investigation of my fraud case went. They refunded the charges to me, so i haven't been following it.

[EagleFan]

Or, the real person commiting the fraud is trying to get someone else in trouble...

[saldana]

i would be careful about spamming them with porn emails....if they are underage, you could get jammed for proliferation of pornography to a minor.

I would listen to her about this one, you don't want to jam yourself up over this.

[bryce]

yea, i'm just leaving it alone. not worth my time.

the irony, though, is that don't you have to be 18 to use a credit card and make purchases online?

[Ksyrup]

If a credit card has been lawfully issued to a person, that person doesn't have to be 18 to have a credit card. Every CC company (if they are smart) will require a legal guardian to co-sign and be responsible on the account, though, because anyone under the age of consent cannot be legally required to pay the account.

As far as buying online...if you're using someone else's CC, then yeah, they might care, but most places don't even ask, and if a minor has his own CC, then the online merchant doesn't care what age he is.

If you really want to get the guy, why not just report the fraud and identity theft? Wouldn't that be sufficient?

one would think

Yea, did that.

[BrianD]

Yea, did that.

Problem solved then. Sure you could dick with the guy some more, but I'd have to think that a uniformed cop (or would it be FBI?) would drive the point home even better.

If you want to go the spam routh just sign him upto all of the mailing lists you can find.

[Desnudo]

What was in the order?
