Why this doesn't happen more frequently I'm not sure. You put people in low paying jobs, then hand them credit cards with the name, signature, and they're supposed to check ID, which has the address. All the info they need is right there. If you have a good memory, your set. Otherwise just copy it down and run with it. More than likely you can get away with one or two purchases. If you live in an appartment you just ship it to a neighbors house. If they drop it off, you grab it and go. If the neighbor actually receives the package then it becomes their problem. The temptation is great. When I worked in a restaurant I always wondered why no one did this. I still don't know why. Although I did read about a guy who worked in a fancy restaurant in NY and stole info for Steven Speilberg, Bill Gates and probably others,. So long as he kept the charges small enough and infrequent enough he got away with a LOT of fraud, like millions.
