RE: stolen debit card!
Stay away from it. In Alabama it is a class C felony to illegally posess or fraudulently use a credit/debit card. Alabama code 13a-9-14.1 says: (a) A person commits the crime of illegal possession of a credit/debit card if, knowing that he or she does not have the consent of the owner, he or she takes, exercises control over, or otherwise uses the card. (b) A person commits the crime of fraudulent use of a credit/debit card if he or she uses, attempts to use, or allows to be used, a credit or debit card for the purpose of obtaining property, services, or anything else of value with the knowledge that:
(1) the card is stolen; or
(2) the card has been revoked or cancelled; or
(3) for any other reason the use of the card is unauthorized by either the issuer or the person whom the card is issued.
A class C felony is the lowest class of felony in the state of Alabama. The penalty for a class C felony is under Alabama code 13a-5-6 subsection (3) it states: For a class C felony, not more than 10 years or less than 1 year and 1 day in a State penitentiary.
To be honest with you, I would seriously consider a new group of friends. These guys will get you into trouble. Dont forget that the one that gets caught with the stolen card will probably get a receiving stolen property charge too.
This is all just an example of what they could be facing. Most state's laws on this are about the same so beware of your buddies.

RE: stolen debit card!
It doesn't really matter, I'm just curious why anyone would ask this in the first place. It doesn't make sense.
It's obvious it's wrong.
It's obvious what people would say.
...and it always starts with "well, if my friend did this and my other friend did this and if my uncles best friend's cousin Benny from down the street had an aunt who's nephew was flirting with a girl in his class that had a crush on the teacher who was cheating on his wife that was suffering from an incurable illness....would it be wrong?
I mean seriously, the only honest answer is...
HUH ?

RE: stolen debit card!
I refuse to believe that the poster had no clue about credit card fraud and felony's. In this screwed up world we live in, you would have to be a completely oblivious freakin moron to not have any insight whatsoever on this very simple issue.
This thread just doesn't make any sense whatsoever, and he was making the post out of utter boredom instead of getting a hobby.

RE: stolen debit card!
You don't just find and use a DEBIT card, those require PIN's. If they are using a DEBIT card then there's more involved than just finding it.
Assuming they are using it as a CREDIT card and just swiping at the pump then it's just one significant crime and not many.
It's gonna cost a lot more than $80 to get out of this one, as they will get caught.
I wouldn't even be seen with these 2 "friends" as I'm sure they're only a week away from being investigated by the card's bank and the local authorities.
Mommy and Daddy are gonna be pissed. The lawyer fees now are going to cost some cash and assuming they are retarded punks and not adults, they will probably need to get their record expunged at some point and it will cost even more in lawyer fee's to get that done later.
