The Credit Card Pranks

In my lifetime, I have made nearly 15,000 credit card transactions. I purchase almost everything on plastic. What bugs me about credit card transactions is the signing. Who checks the signature? Nobody checks the signature.

This guy actually has the guts to sign his name in hieroglyphics, among other crazy signatures.


So no one actually verifies your signature against the one on your credit card or on the card companies’ database, eh?


Hilarious!
