Fun with credit card fraud
From http://www.zug.com/pranks/credit
Here's an interesting "prank" where someone attempts to sign his credit card receipts as ridiculously as possible. However, he repeatedly fails to raise the attention of cashiers/waiters. He tells the story better than I do, so I recommend checking out the two links...but here is a selection: wild scribbling "the grid" please check ID i stole this card part 2: http://www.zug.com/pranks/credit_card here he takes his digital camera and snaps a picture before handing the receipt over. also included are the electronic screen signatures... dunk n donuts (at krispy kreme) undetectable small purchase (in response to anti-identity theft advertisement) 10% removed for bad service my butt music finally he tries to buy a 3 HDTVs from circuit city using the following sig |

i have a feeling that it would work 99% of the time, but when one does get caught, one probably feels like an ass for it. clerks and service workers have enough of a tough existance...trying to pull a joke at their expense seems a little cruel.

It also depends on what you look like. I definitely do not look like of age to own a credit card. Therefore, whenever I use it, the signature is checked.
As for zug.com, i love the "all-natural prank"

I work at a bakery and it doesn't make sense to check every person that walks in, especially when lines are out the door.
I can see why people don't check. I know I don't. There's just not enough time and everyone's trying to get along on their way without you holding them back for something like that.
