Gift Card-Cloning Thief Scams Best Buy and Apple

[Guest]

This guy steals $6000 worth of cash (store money anyway) and gets 19 months probation. Yet, a person that gets caught sharing a few copied songs on their computer gets slammed with over $1M in fines. Something is REALLY messed up with the justice system here !

The difference here is that those fines for illegal downloads are a civil matter. This guy could still be sued by each and every victim, including the people who bought the gift cards and the stores. He should have received a larger punishment than he did but he will likely still have more to pay back.

Seriously, the only thieves there are the one selling you gift cards... it's nothing more than a disguised contract forcing you to buy something at XXX store before the expiring date.

If only they were giving you 10% off their merchandise...

The Taliban kills people for rejecting their irrational restrictions. This guy willfully violated the rights of others, repeatedly. Put him down like an animal; humanely but swiftly, so as not to waste too much time and resources. Too harsh? Then don't violate people's rights.

Seriously?!?! probation? that's all you get for stealing,fraud,and drunk driving these days?And a program that he downloaded from the internet?So how many others are doing this or have done this and some stores have shrugged of people claiming they didn't use their gift cards...

Pretty simple if you ask me! Damn con artists!

I should not have tossed those old used gift cards in the trash because I could now say it was not me who spent all that money.

So you think theft under $10,000 should warrant the death penalty?

free Wireless access point and a wig with fake beard maybe his first purchase should have been a disguise lol and a laptop then goto starbucks and buy your shit lol

Wow, that's pretty cool, but yeah, he failed, didn't try hard enough because he thought the software was safe.

People, please stop buying gift cards. Just give give people cash. As soon as you buy a gift card a retailer recognizes profit from projected unused balances on cards. You're all throwing your money away and creating waste.

Give cash! Every time I get a gift card I'm irritated about it.
