holy shit I live in Winnebago County! I could probably access that document from my job no prob!

Usually legal forms have the full name listed, the blacked out area seems only enough for a first name and no surname ?
4 and a half years for 70 bucks seems a little odd.
As CCbill is getting the funds back they must be aware if this as they must be named in the petition?
I hate credit card theft as much as anyone this one just seems odd.

it was the full name

So you telling me this is real?

This kinda reminds of the documentary I saw, where a black guy got 25 years for stealing a pack of smokes in Texas. I don't know if it was 3 strikes case. However what was the inside scoop on this?

It does seem a little too steep to get 4 1/2 years for $70 though?

WTF you have got to be an idiot surfer

You are definately not a webmaster that's been burned by "customers" crediting back 6 months of membership cause they don't have the money to pay their bills that week.

I WISH we had a service where an in house attorney would follow up on major chargebacks or account credits and get the bad guys.

I WISH our billing companies would ask for, and verify, a police report number for every idiot customer that charges back, or credits back, due to a card being "stolen"

WAY TO GO CCBILL :thumbsup

yay for ccbill :)

shheeesh i know someone who got caught using a stolen credit card trying buy some jewelery, he definitley didnt get 4 1/2 years i think he got a £4 1/2 fine. pfffffffft

Can I use that picture on our members-areas? :)

Nice.. set an example of.

Sure is one generous/malicious society that would stuff a guy in a cell for 4.5 years over $70 :winkwink:

Suppose it depends on his rap sheet AllStar - chances are it filled a file and the judge took the time to read it all :)

WHat is the full story? Or at least some 'more' story than just the pic :)

scammers go in the slammer

ROFL...fake

I seriously doubt that the charges that got someone 4.5 years stem from $70 in ccard fraud to CCBill. First, $70 is misdemeanor level and you cant get 4.5 years out of that amount unless there is some sort of sentencing enhancement for prior record. Sorta like the 3 strikes and your out type sentencing enhancement for habitual offenders.

More than likely this guy was involved in multiple counts of credit card fraud and CCBill was just one of the many victims. The State Attorney's office is just giving the victim (CCBill) the final boxscore as it relates to them.

That is such a sexy letter that I just printed it out and and it's going on my office wall for inspiration :)

nice work!


Mr. Romance

someone got what they deserved if you need to resort to scamming on cards you deserve to be behind bars...

The minimum amount to constitute felony theft is $300, there's obviously much more to the story than what we're seeing.

This guy must of had a mountain of stolen cardnumbers.

You don't get 5 years for chargebacks in fact they aren't illegal.

good may he have a new boyfriend in jail every night lol

down with cheaters!!!
