There's a word for that, fraud. There's also a penalty, prison.

I used to use my friend's CC to buy booze for him when he wasn't 21. I just signed it with my name. No one ever noticed.

ah..ive been doing forever... usually i just draw a big happy face. lately it seems most stores with touchpad screening machines have been printing the signatures onto the receipt rather than just storing it... unbeknownst to me... and gets me a lot of amused expressions from the clerks

I'm not saying I would but thiers a very real chance someone might do this on one day buy a crap load of high dollar items then he would call in that evening and say his CC just turned up missing. I'm not saying its legal but it leaves an opening for some people who don't care

He did . . . well, he signed it "Zeus". His comments about that are pretty funny.
I think that's a somewhat effiminate signature for the leader of the gods, but I was in a hurry. The kid at the Trader Joe's looked strangely at the receipt, then back up at me, as if to say, "Are you really him?" I trucked out of there before he could ask, and in my haste to escape, nearly ran over an eight year-old standing in the doorway. I apologized, which was a dead giveaway, since the real Zeus would have just fried the kid with lightning. I'm such a fake Zeus.
