OP there is nothing you can or will do about it. You are all mouth and no ass. You are having a bad case of the whineys.

Do not think for a second your words here cannot be found and used against you. You say you wont do anything illegal yet you will be surprised what charges can be placed on you. Civil charges as well.

I was assigned to the unit that scours social media for cases and the capability these guys have are unreal.

You really sound like a 12 year old attention seeking kid.

Awesome man, keep a lookout and see what you can do.

I got news for you, the cops don't care.

Quoted:
The CC company/Banks don't care, THEY hardly ever lose $$ on scams. The BUSINESS that the stolen card was used at, takes the hit.

The Cops don't care, the victim may be in their jurisdiction, but the perp isn't so they (local cops) have nothing to gain by pursuing it. Cops in the perps local don't really care, nobody in their local got hurt.

THAT is why CC fraud will never be stopped or even slowed down. The people hurt, have no recourse to get anything done.

My advice is to move one. I bet you'll feel better after sleeping on it. It just isn't worth your time.

You mention gas station as a source.  Card skimmers are HUGE at the moment on pumps.  There is a high chance that is where the number was skimmed.  Newer pumps deactivate if opened without a code, forced, or other security measure is tripped.   Stay away from the older pumps.

Not sticking up for OP as he seems like a self righteous douchebag, but years ago my parents house was broken into at night. A girl crawled around on her hands and knees taking stuff while her b/f knelt right behind my dad while he was sleeping in his chair in case he woke up. Luckily he didn't. They discovered things missing the next day, realized what happened and reported it. The cops didn't do much, my dad was able to find out from the credit card company where they were used, what time, what they bought, and then got video to give to the police. The police got the arrest, but if he hadn't helped, likely nothing would have been done as they don't have time. Depending on behavior and attitude, some places will help you. OP probably suspended his seemingly self righteous douchebaggery long enough to get help from at least one business.

Update:

 He doesn't usually have time to investigate these kinds of crimes, but because I was able to point him to some pretty good evidence, it was definitely worth his time.

That's it so far. Despite the self-righteous ARFCOM legal team, it seems like I was able to get things going the right direction. Hopefully they catch these people and they get fired, jailed, etc. I found out I am actually golfing buddies with the cop's brother who works in my industry. Cop is a big golfer also. I told him I could get him into the Olympic Club as a guest to play, which went over real well. So, it looks like he has some motivation to actually investigate it. Plus I love playing golf with cops because they are usually hackers.

Update:



I was able to see the video today thanks to the store's Loss Prevention Manager. He actually had no qualms letting me back there. I didn't have to argue my case at all. I wasn't allowed to take a copy or take any photographs with my phone, but they let me watch it. The long and short of it is that  the individual in question was a woman that appeared to be in her 30s, probably Hispanic, overweight. There was a man that appeared to be with her: Black, skinny, early 40's, dressed decently. They actually tried 2 different cards it seemed. When they both declined, they calmly left the register, leaving the merch on the counter. The store has video of them leaving the store, going out of view and a black 300 pulling out of a parking lot lane and turning right in front of the store, then leaving. It was too blurry and the angle was too askew to see a plate. There weren't any other patrons that entered the parking lot during that time, so it was likely them.



I visited all three of the locations that were likely sources of the issue and met with two of the owners. I told them that it was possible that there was an employee defrauding their customers. I had a receipt for one of them because I had eaten there on business, so it had a table number and time. Owner said he is going to review his records and see if he caught anything on video. The other owner said he would talk about it with the police if they contacted him. I left a voicemail with the third.



I went to talk to the police and met with an officer who took my report and seemed genuinely interested in investigating them. That city/town doesn't have detectives per se, but this particular officer handled all of their fraud cases. He said he would go to the department store and the various locations and review the evidence. He disagreed with many of the legal experts in this thread: He doesn't usually have time to investigate these kinds of crimes, but because I was able to point him to some pretty good evidence, it was definitely worth his time.

Keep up the good fight, OP.

I really do not understand the level of pussification and seeming jealousy in this thread.

got two stories

daughters Grand Cherokee broken into, purse stolen (off front seat...yeah, I know)....within hours of the burglary, the card was used at  2 or three different gas stations, a blk chick, couple hundred bucks worth of beer and she actually called friends from the hood and they took turns filling up their tanks. Daughter called the cops and reported it.... a town of about 15k. (I fixed the window, 300 bucks)I got a listing of the cards use and about 3 days later called the cops, gave them the additional info...got the run around, I went to the nearest gas station...they hold their tapes 10 days, and spoke to the manager...she looked at the tapes, with me there and I took shots with my smartphone...lo and behold, she recognizes one of the blk dudes who came in with the chick and got cases of beer...also had video of the pumps with the cars/license tags that gassed up....I travel out to his house, see the car and tag in the drive, and make contact with the homeowner...its the dudes wife, showed her the screen shot, she IDs her husband and that the fact that he was probably fucking around with the blk chick, and she named her as well. All this was passed on to the 2 different police  jurisdictions involved (other area was a city of around 85k)....not a fucking thing was done, the tapes were never collected, never even interviewed the dude. The dude was on state probation, called and spoke w/the state doc people. They got him to reimburse my 300 dollars for the window...he never admitted criminal culpability, only that his girlfriend called and told him she 'found' a card and they used the shit out of it.  Did I mention I was 5-OH?

The best bbq I ever had....

my brother in law works for the post office...on a fucked up shift at a hub, where he gets off at midnight (this guy is like a red headed epic bearded lumberjack) his nightly routine is stopping by a 7/11 and getting a monster slushy and popcorn. He goes in the clerk ids him as an armed robber from the previous month...and calls the cops. They hook him up, and have the clerk come down and sign the affidavit against him. They read him his rights and he 'lawyers up'...he tells them he's related to me. Doesn't matter, no one calls me. I get the call when he's bonding out from the county jail, from my sister. Long story short, the police have a video (7/11 so high definition with sound), but no one ever looks at it, (which would have shown a clean shaven Hispanic dude)  no one calls the post office hub to see if maybe he was working that day and time...fingerprints from the counter and register, but no one ever sends them off, or compares to the lumberjack. My brother in law built a garage with a man cave, a sun room, and an outdoor patio with a grill, after getting back from an Alaskan cruise...courtesy of the police and 7/11.  I get asked sometimes by my comrades in arms, hey bro, what you got going on this weekend...Id say going over to watch a game on the big screen and have a cookout at the brother-in-laws, and there'd be silence and a few cases of the red-ass.

Let the police handle it.  The store in question will likely not even talk to you about it, nevermind let you look at  video. They will help the police though.

I don't know why guys take credit card fraud personally.  It can be an ass pain, sure, but guys need to chill the fuck out.
