Restaurant credit card theft
"Hi, my name is Crystal. I'll be stealing your credit card today. Would you like an appetizer to start?"
Police: Restaurant workers aided credit card fraud ring (via Crypto-Gram)
That may have been what happened to us a few months ago. We went to lunch at a nice restaurant, and 2 weeks later had a small business e-mail account from those morons charged to that card.
Best quote:
The scheme's ringleaders recruited college students and other twentysomethings who worked as waiters and waitresses, then paid them $10 apiece for every credit card they slid through a black box small enough to hide under their aprons, Munson said.
So if your waitstaff fondles themselves under their apron, don't worry - it's probably just identity theft...
