> presumably using a stolen credit card as well to make them harder to track. Credit card fraud expert here: It's very unwise to book a hotel room with a stolen credit card — trust me, I would know. Carders aren't stupid either, especially the guys that do in-store stuff. Plus, to check-in, you still need a card for incidentals; you need an ID to check in. Obviously, those can also be acquired, but... There are lots of other things that are easier to flip than mattresses that could be had with less effort and less risk. Why don't they just card a mattress online? Those lighting fixtures? There are thousands of small online stores with bad/poor/non-existent fraud prevention practices outside their processor that would love to ship them to non-billing.
