South Africa checking in. We also need one time pin. Then a follow up query asking for final approval. Still, fuck that guy in Tel Aviv who cleared my card not 15 minutes after I had collected it at my branch in Cape Town and hadn't even activated it yet.
Yes it is. Still better than communism equivalent tho.
It's a perfect shitstorm and great example of humanity. Human A does something stupid Human 1 takes advantage. Everyone on the sidelines get sent to the gulags
But does it not make him dumber or i don't know extremely cocky for posting what he did? I think this is the digital equivalent of slapping someone in the face with your dick out.
It doesn't really make him dumb. It just makes him an asshole. It's not like there's any real world repercussions for bragging about being a prick anonymously.
Lol, the company I work for has a policy where if the person can prove the store credit was stolen, the assets will be frozen and transferred to the person who purchased the gift card.
Alright then I fucking will kill myself anyway, I've been planning on doing it for months now and it will be with great timing in the Christmas season. Thanks for putting faith in my life.
PSA: I did that to make said person remove it IMMEDIATELY. You can't just contact steam support on a card and it's numbers. If you could people would be walking in stores and taking the numbers and waiting for people to buy the cards to say it didn't work and get cash. You being a uncultured swine don't know what is real or not. Maybe if you fucking get a job I'll be able to move out from my basement.
/u/Spoopy_Watermelon Good, seems like you are on board with keeping yourself safe.

some trollxer on reddit pulled that shit here in a post just a couple weeks ago
This seems a little too naive. Your gift card gets defaced and your first reaction is to post an unedited picture to social media? And then a throwaway not only takes it, but logs on just to brag in the douchiest way possible?
Maybe I'm too cynical, but this seems like the perfect setup to not only keep your $100, but get multiple additional $100 donations from gullible redditors.

Fuckin Lmao why are redditors so retarded. BTW post. Pictures of your credit card cut up Pls and the back of it
1 NardDogAndy 2017-12-26
Did you know if you post your social security number, Reddit automatically censors it? Check it out **--***.

Protip: You can actually use credit cards on Amazon without the CVV number on the back.

In what third world shithole do you live?
1 shallowm 2017-12-26
I'm pretty sure it works the same way for most countries, just go try it.
1 freet0 2017-12-26
And post screenshots so we know it's real
1 ThenTheGorursArrived 2017-12-26
In India, we usually have a second check, via OTP. The one time I had to make a payment to a US based company, there was no OTP requirement.
So third world shitholes actually have better CC security.

I agree that it was dumb to post the picture but the guy who stole it is a complete shithead

1 NardDogAndy 2017-12-26
Having information on his profile that made him doxxable was the really dumb part.
1 kane4life4ever 2017-12-26
Just like the CNN meme guy.
1 xthorgoldx 2017-12-26
It's both.
A thief is smart if they can identify a good mark and pull off the theft. A thief is stupid if they brag about pulling off the theft in public.
1 kane4life4ever 2017-12-26
What about Goldman Sachs? Hillary Clinton? Are these the real MVP's
1 xthorgoldx 2017-12-26
Nah, 200 IQ thievery is pulling off the theft and then bragging about it in a way that people are convinced that the theft was 100% legal.
In Hillary's case, well, it cost her an election, so I'd say "stupid."
1 kane4life4ever 2017-12-26
Nah man, Hillary Clinton could have given birth to the second Christ and she still would have lost.
1 AnnArchist 2017-12-26
Nah, steam will realize what happened and ban the guy over $100.... my account has a value of $1444 — $2340 per steamdb.
pretty shit trade.
1 MegaSeedsInYourBum 2017-12-26
Then there will be a post online about how steam banned them for 'no reason' and asking how they can force steam to reverse the ban.
1 Karmaisforsuckers 2017-12-26
This $100 lesson is worth more to him that some videogames
1 freet0 2017-12-26
If he were smart he'd have redeemed it on another account and then traded steam gifts for real money
1 LordBlackmore 2017-12-26
That person getting banned from steam would be epic.

/u/planeguy58 what were you thinking when you decided to post a pic of a valid giftcard online?
Have you been diagnosed with any type of learning difficulty or perhaps a touch of the tism?

Touch of Tism sounds like a soap opera.
