Credit card numbers can be stolen
[QUOTE=SaintChuck;3021146]I would really like for you to explain to me why you must never use a credit card. I am not married and I get points on my credit card so I actually prefer to use it. Please don't tell me that Uncle LEO is going to track me down and lock me up. Even if they busted a place and by some miracle they got a subpoena for the credit card records, it proves nothing. It just proves that I was there and I paid for a massage. A few months ago Uncle LEO busted almost every AMP near me and if they would have gotten the credit card records from these places they would have seen at least 20 charges from me at a few different establishments. I have yet to have Uncle LEO show up at my door and I really don't care if they do, they have no proof that I ever did anything. When it comes to AMP advice you might want to cut the credit card part out of your AMP seminar at the Holiday Inn. SaintChuck.[/QUOTE]By camera phone, hand, or clone swiper.
Stolen credit cards numbers usually aren't used directly by the thief
[QUOTE=MongerAlways;3021199]I guess it's possible they could use your credit card and try to purchase stuff, but then they have no repeat business. Hardly doubt that a lot of AMP's would be that foolish.[/QUOTE]They're passed onto someone up the chain who uses it to do a variety of scams including identity theft. AMPs are very convenient honeypots to collect a variety of personal and financial info. Don't use your real name, leave your wallet at home or locked in the car, carry only the cash you intend to spend into the establishment. I don't even bring my cell phone in. As far as they should be concerned, you're a polite ghost that tips well.
