Will somebody get in trouble if they use a credit card number out that was put out on purpose to use?

Question

well i was on youtube and and this one person put a credit card number, security code, expiration date, and a name on the card for people to use on a website. So if somebody goes and use that on like amazon can they get in trouble even thoe it was given out to the public thats not stealing.

Answer 1

that's called theft, fraud, jail tie guaranteed - don;t you think by now that number has either been maxed out or canceled? unless you want to be Tyrone's b*tch in the big house, don't even think about doing such a thing

Answer 2

You have no way of knowing if the person giving you "permission" is the actual owner of the account--and in an age of identify theft, you should know better...so yes, you could be held guilty of theft.
