    Make sure to commit all fraud by US Post mail. This ensures your trial will be in Federal Court, which is much busier than your state’s court, ensuring your case never gets heard!

      This according to my lawyer friend carries a maximum punishment of a million dollar fine and 30 years in prison.

        Just send a bunch of nonsense to the Governor (or President I guess since we’re talking about making a federal case) to get their letterhead then create a fake pardon for yourself

      Idk, I’ve been waiting on a date for my small claims case for over a year. I’ve called about it but just get told it’ll eventually get scheduled. I’ve given up hope.

    This is one of the few times I’m rooting for the sovcit. Fuck credit-predators and this system can actually work

      Fortunately there has been much progress over the past 20 years and surely more to come. The fact that our grandparents/great grandparents put in a system to punish the poor just speaks to how shitty our history is.

    I mean, weird culty citizens movement or not, most police and justice departments are incredibly hesitant to publish properly gathered crime statistics, for the reason that the vast majority of it is effective and goes without punishment.

    You should not commit credit card fraud. However, the abov is the first few stops of social engineering. Adjust a couple emails and phone numbers. Get a non government PO boxin the right zip code. Etc etc … and you could easily engineer their CRM to have all the right contact information you’ll need to to when they go to verify something.

    Humans are belief machines. We rely on how thing sound and feel, not if they are upheld by data or evidence. Managing those beliefs to get to specific outcomes is social engineering.

      Yep. Clearance rates are very low, the police actually do not do a good job at solving crimes. Their real value is in deterrent, but that only works when you have someone in a parked car outside a building.

        The police don’t even attempt to solve crimes unless a lot of money was stolen from important people, or someone was murdered. All those TV shows and movies of the police performing amazing detective work to get to the bottom of a crime are bullshit. The police file a report, drop the file in the trash, and go to lunch.

    I don’t understand how this is supposed to work. I get the intent, but whatever. Guess it’s no crazier than quoting maritime law.

    In some cases, this may actually work, but it’s only going to be for low-level debt (i.e. low $$) that nobody is really too worried about. If it’s anything worth anyone’s time, they will pay attention and you will go down for fraud.

      yeah you can simply contest debt and they will remove it if the company does not respond to them timely.

        They say that the first thing you should do anytime you receive a collection request is to dispute it. If they can’t prove the debt, it just goes away. You just don’t need to commit fraud to do that.

        That’s not always true. I spotted a legitimate error on my report and submitted adequate evidence to prove it is an error, and they just marked it as contested. They didn’t even contact me afterwards. It’s bullshit.
