Why bother with the hassle of check fraud? Just go steal a car.

It’s not stealing if he puts one of those PR1V8T3 “license” plates on it…

Just make sure it’s the corporation stealing the car, not the person. Ez

You wouldn't download a car.

I did back when I played GTA 4. MANY cars, in fact!

The penalties for white collar fraud are significantly lower than that of physical theft.

Aw this one likes the idea of free stuff but is smart enough to realise it at least might be bullshit. Most sovcits are reprehensible because they're wrong and entitled about it, IMO. This lady just sounds like she's in a bad spot and doesn't have a lot of options. Sad, in a "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn" way (i suppose in a Hemingway 🥁)

It's like they are trying to be ethical thieves.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago

Sure, they think they've cracked a secret code.

Still not ethical. Lawful evil at best.

Probably something along the lines of check fraud?

Do Americans really spell it "check" rather than "cheque"?

What the heque were we thinqueing?

Yes, because we weren’t conquered for a century by the French during our formative language years.

In France they use Jacque hammers.

You prefer having two letters tacked onto the end rather than just one?

Why waste the space? /s

To be fair, they also invented the word queue, which is 80% useless vowels.

Of course we do, that's the word.

Someone send them a copy of Catch Me If You Can

Apparently the biggest con that guy did was writing a book people believed.
