I've recently really gotten into Scam School on Revision3. These are not scams really but mostly just bar/parlor tricks. Some of them are pretty interesting.

Scammers are assholes. Le't play a game instead.

I know a good one, lets play this. Post your credit card number and other members can try to make words out of it. Use it like a phone pad, 2=ABC,, 3=DEF, etc. For ane and zero use the letters I and O respectively. Be sure to post your credit cards expiration date and make words out of that too. That would make it that much more fun. Who wants to go first?

If you need help PM me your credit card number and expiration date and I'll come up with something creative. It will be awesome, trust me.

The show does not deal with those kind of scammers. In the show the host goes around and basically just demonstrates bar/parlor tricks, just silly little games you can play with your friends at the bar.

I know, I was just being an ass and having some fun. I have seen this before.

The scamming aspect is just about scamming drinks it seems. This is interesting though.

Jack, you'd need a billing address for it to be worth anything, and an acceptable dead drop to ship too. This Is A Joke

In all seriousness, how to light a match with your teeth? forget that noise.

actually, you only need a zip code.

as long as the name, zip code, and card number match up, you are ok.

These videos are great. I've always had a place in my... uh... gallbladder for magic and other general chicanery. I watched through those videos for a couple hours last night. I remember the | + || + ||| = |||| thing from high school, but most of this is new to me. I can't help but wonder if Brian Brushwood is related to Guybrush Threepwood. Or maybe it's an alias. Also, Alias is a show about a... spy.

I'm printing this out and using it as an argument to cut down my data entry requirements then, can I put a Dr. in front of your name? Razz

well, i dont want to say that its the standard all around, but when we run credit/debit cards at work for customers to pay their car notes, those are the 3 things that are necessary.

i have literally put JIBBER JABBER in the address field before and the card payment still went thru and got approved.

We got one where we have to ask the caller where they heard about us, and one of the most standard answers I get is I saw the sign, whenever I type that I want to put it opened up my eyes I saw the sign next to it in parenthesis. Laughing

You also need the CVV2 security code, which is generally a three digit code found on the back of the card.

Sometimes people aren't too thrilled about giving that out.

I've always thought it was weird how fast people will give out their credit card # but will immediately flip the hell out if you ask for their email address. I mean, I hate spam too, but you just started giving me your card number before even telling me who you were or exactly what product you want! Rolling Eyes

I enjoyed watching the card throwing episode.

I also enjoyed episode 2 with the coins. I paused it and figured it out prior to the solution. Took about 3-4 minutes but I was happy that I wouldn't have bought someone a beer.

I've seen the trick from the race in either goosebumps or Ayaotd.
