    Listen, Kiddo, get the web address of the site that you visited that had "free" credit cards.

    Then call the United States Attorney General's office in your city and tell them exactly what happened. The person giving away these credit card numbers is a criminal.

    Don't worry; you will not be in any trouble.

    You should also call the non-emergency number to your local police station and tell them the same thing.

    And thank you for doing the right thing by reporting it.

    How do you know that the one you tried worked? Did you go to another site altogether and make purchase? How do you know that is wasn't a scam to get people to use the numbers all over so they couldn't be traced back to the original thief? For that matter, how does anyone know that you aren't the one trying to scam people on here to take the fall? Why else would you tell the name of the site?

    You need to tell your parents what you did so they can take care of it.

    you have mentioned the fraud to the c/c company; if the fees are reversed/cancelled, there's no longer something extra to be completed. The company would report a stolen mail record with the postmaster yet you will likely never hear approximately it.

    Do not use them. Delete the entire thing. Do not do this again.

    Prison may be in your future if you do.
