Ever get scammed at a bar. - GoFuckYourself.com

smashface · 02-20-2005, 06:25 PM

I was at a bar in the East Bay last Friday, Club Mallard, and two guys with thick touchpads were walking around giving out lighters; they only asked for your name and social security number in return.

These guys showed up around 12:30pm when everyone was pretty well lit.

ID theft scam or legit business?

detoxed · 02-20-2005, 06:29 PM

Heh.... who needs a lighter that bad?

FunForOne · 02-20-2005, 06:30 PM

When you walk around the french quarter in New Orleans, there is a scam like that on every block.

When you're pretty drunk and everyone is doing it, you don't think about being scammed.

I don't smoke and thought it sounded phishy.

Spunky · 02-20-2005, 06:32 PM

Lol..people were probably stupid enough to give it to them

David! · 02-20-2005, 06:33 PM

They do the same thing in SoFla, usually around 1AM.

So you think it is a scam? A friend got the lighter but doesn't know if he gave the right info.

Furious_Male · 02-20-2005, 06:35 PM

What would any legit marketing firm need your SS# for. Doesn't sound good.

wes · 02-20-2005, 06:35 PM

i would give fake info.

I thought it might be a variation on ethical hacking. They don't use the info to setup an ID but sign you up for credit cards, etc.

xlogger · 02-20-2005, 06:42 PM

HAHAHA, fucking SS#'s? And for a lighters?

pussyluver · 02-20-2005, 06:44 PM

Always go with the FAKE SS. Do the same on your paychecks at Mickey-Ds. You wouldn't want anyone to know you really flipped burgers would ya?

Philip Morris has reps going out to bars to solicit smokers to get on their mailing lists. Since the govent has made it very hard for them to target smokers anymore. They will give out incentives to smokers (i.e. lighters, free packs) but they must verify age before doing so.

pornstar2pac · 02-20-2005, 06:50 PM

I fell for that scam 3 times already

Doctor Dre · 02-20-2005, 06:52 PM

ROFL ... you must be so dumb to fall for this kind of crap

Pete-KT · 02-20-2005, 06:54 PM

I'm pretty sure they don't need your social security number to give you a free lighter, maybe your birthday but not your SS#

pornstar2pac · 02-20-2005, 07:04 PM

they asked for my mother's maiden name too

smashface · 02-20-2005, 07:09 PM

did they ask for your driver's license too? and the name of your high school?

People asking for SS #'s? That doesn't seem right.

my thoughts exactly

reynold · 02-20-2005, 08:49 PM

That sucks. You need an ID number for a drink.

smashface · 02-20-2005, 09:51 PM

^^^ You live somewhere that sells to any age?
