...fraud. There Sweetnurse verifies credit-card numbers--even numbers picked at random--to determine their credit limits and expiration dates, using the same types of automated programs deployed by credit-card companies and banks for that purpose. He jots down a number, then goes shopping. Usually he selects books, CDs and dvds for his collection, but he also claims to have bought such fanciful items as a box of 10,000 condoms. "You've got to find a site with good stuff, a bad system and stupid people," he advises. It's a pretty common combination. Today, in 15 minutes...
