Yea, you might want to go to the police if you really feel bad. they will be able to get in contact with the owner.


Janice F
just mail the card to the credit card company..

they will give it back to the original owner.. also, if you feel really guily..

mail the money into the credit card company and write down the number on the credit card, that way the money will post to his account.

Congrats! You are a felon! Unfortunately people like you are rarely prosecuted. Persons that commit credit card crime largely go unpunished and repeatedly victimize consumers and businesses. The Secret Service handles crimes involving the US money supply, they have a limit of $2,000 before investigating each crime. Most credit card criminals know this and keep purchases from any one business below $2,000. With credit card crime occurring across state lines, criminals often are never prosecuted because the dollar amounts are too low for local law enforcement to pay for extradition.
Thanks for the higher rates....Thief.

No need to find the owner. Just destroy the card and pay the amount you used to the issuing bank.

You're so screwed. I'm turning you in! Ha-Ha!

Call the credit card place, should be a number on back of card tell them just what you told us, and they will take care of contacting the owners with this problem, you should have not canceled the card or used it for that matter..... after that you Pray!-------- good luck and it's not that bad your not going to die or anything like that, but you will have to pay----- the same people that you called to cancel it should be a start ,call them back and explain and do it quick...


tilishabingo
I agree with Janice. That is the smart way to do it. But I'm not for sure if you should have made yourself known.

The credit card company knows who all their customers are, and you have the card, don't you?

I'm not 100% sure it's the best thing to do, but if I were you, I might call the credit card company and explain and ask them how to fix it.


Thepersonewholikes1000milesasong
Talk to a parent or call the company and tell them you found this credit card. You shouldn't have used it because the owner will probably shut it off because they are charging him for something he didn't but.

Dont put out flyer some people will just take it for the numbers and the name is on the card use the phone directory!

take the items back you bought and if that isn't possible then mail a payment to the company in the amount of your purchase along with a type written letter stating you found the card and be done with it.


Margz
hmm. I see that your experiencing guilt all over. What I can suggest is that you call the credit card company so it would be they who will contact the owner and inform him of everything. I suggested this because they would not give you that person's details. Also, give your contact number to the credit card company so he can contact you and you can pay him.

Serious **** - it's a crime.

no worries owner will report it lost get a new card and the company will eat the charge and write it off their taxes those greedy jerks can afford it

ur lucky it was not canceled u could have been arrested and u probably caused the person aggravation so know u know not to do that again. Stop looking for the owner u could get in trouble just leave it alone


paris_alyssa
Is there a name on the card, you can look it up and get there address and phone number and call them


GG
for starters dont feel bad and dont beat yourself up. but you've taken the proper action towards resolving this. first, whatever amount you spent get a money order for this amount and mail it in to the credit card company (google or go online to get their mailing and contact information.) this way the amount you spent will be covered and you are fine.

Why would you put up flyers? The owner's name is on the card. Look them up!
