whats the point in people stealing credit card numbers??

[LGT]

got a phishing email just now for my CC#s claiming to be from Amex...

but..

What the point is..? Except for sign up for pr0n or by digital stuff on internet there is No point really is thjere.. For the fraudsters cos nowadays everything must be sent to the same address as payment? And even if they sent something to a different house theyd get busted ... so, i ask what these phishers bother for? Or just porn addict??

You can also create physical cards from the numbers. Walk into store, charge big screen TV, sign, they don't care where you live.

My CC number somehow got into someones hands end of last month. They did like three charges for cell phone services for about 200 dollars, and about 7 intellius.com purchases for around 30 dollars.

this. usually they create new magnetic strips where the charge goes through.

I get shit delivered to an address other than my CC billing all the time. Not sure what you're talking about OP but if somebody got my card I'd be fucked.
