The Credit Card Pranks

If you liked the RIAA prank, which I wrote on previously, you’ll like the Credit Card Pranks (part 1 and part 2).

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.

Credit card signatures are a useless mechanism designed to make you feel safe, like airport security checks. So my question was, how crazy would I have to make my signature before someone would actually notice?

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!
