Valerie | Can you go too jail if you ordered stuff Online? |
the teacher asked us a question.
Can you go too jail if you ordered stuff Online and you didn't pay? What if you used the billing address to somewhere and the shipping order too your house? If the Credit card expired on 10/07 and you didn't pay, will they suspect you for frauding? Can you go to jail if your 10-15 for doing that? Will thay go to the shiping address to check your house or too the billing address and search your house?
I have to write a 2 page essay on that...>.<

This is just a question that a teacher asked us. It's not real...>.< |

Yes, it can be considered fraud or theft. |

Yes you can go to jail if you order items online and do not pay. Of course, the process would be lengthy - but if the seller was determined s/he could sue.
Billing and shipping addresses would be investigated by the Fraud Department if REAL information was not provided [and IF the seller was serious about finding you] - it wouldn't be too difficult to track. These days you can pinpoint where the buyer is when making a purchase just through their IP address, and other equipment.
Generally most places don't send out items unless they have received the money prior.
Depending on the circumstances you could be taken to court and made to pay a fine and do community service...depends really on where you live, and how serious the seller is on getting their money.
They will go wherever their evidence guides them [the fraud department]. If a case is opened, I don't think officials will be bunny hopping around from place to place trying to find the person - they would know prior through hi-tech. |

Typically, it wouldn't happen. I have never seen a website that would send you something without running the credit card first. I have accidentally put a number in wrong, or put my work address instead of home, and get an e-mail saying they can't ship until I provide correct information.
So if it were to happen (very unlikely), they would call or e-mail you to get a valid credit card number. If you did not comply, then yes, you could be prosecuted. But I don't think it would be fraud unless you used someone else's credit card. |

your teacher isnt making you write an essay on that. but you might want to watch out. me and a friend did something like this when we were in 7th grade and almost got arrested by the fbi. the only reason we didnt is cuz the lady whose credit card it was didnt want anything to happen to us. dont mess around with that stuff though cuz u WILL get caught. |

It's more than fraud; it's theft also.
You can get caught and you can go to jail.
So what grade did you get on that essay? |
|
Whynot

Sounds like your teacher needs ideas to start a fraud ring. Even if this stuff is not illegal (And it probably IS) it is a bad idea. Nothing in the world is free and Everything will cost you SOMETHING.
Stay in School. |

First the company would contact you to try and collect the debt, if this fails they will turn you in to a collection agency, if the collection agency can't get the money from you, they sue you.
You cannot be jailed for debt, its against the law. The company cannot come to youre house and search it for the merchandise, the most they can do is sue you to try to get back their money |

Ever heard of "Mail Fraud"? It is where an individual (or company) uses the U.S. Mail system to defraud someone of cash or merchandise. The enforcement arm of the Postal Service is called the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. You may have heard of them, they have the distinction of being the oldest Law Enforcement Agency in the U.S.
They will be the ones to coordinate the investigations by their agents, and any other Law Enforcement Agency they feel needs to be involved.
Note: You specified that the credit card "is set to expire on 10/07", meaning the credit card is still valid and will be charged for the purchase, since this is only 09/07 right now. Therefore no "theft" would be alleged, you may not receive the delivery of your purchase (different address), but the buyer will not have committed a crime if the credit card was charged for the purchase. |

You sure can :) |

I wouldn't think so unless it was a high priced auction. What company sends the product with being paid first. If you didnt sign anything when shipped (say UPS) how could they even prove you recieved it. |

Using other people's credit cards without their permission is theft and fraud. If it was my credit card that you stole, then, yes, i would have you prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This would include, if possible, jail time, in-house detention (can't go anywhere, even outside), a criminal record, probation (you'd have to tell the police everything you did), a ban on all Internet usage, and you'd have to pay for everything that you tried to steal. (And don't think that i wouldn't be able to find out if you did this -- trust me, i would.)
Long story short: don't EVER mess with other people's credit cards. It's more trouble than you want. |
