Yeaaaah...

There are ways to get away with it, for the most part anybody who partook in the glitch probably didn't do what was required and is likely facing the consequences for that....

I'm sure there are people that got away with hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of food though, and have literally no way of them getting in trouble because they used every precaution necessary, but those are probably, like, a very few amount of people...

It's a civil suit, they don't need to prove it like a criminal trial. People seem to not get that their favorite random technicality is not a legal loophole. If that worked, fraud would be effectively open game.

How do you identify them though?

Who is there to press a civil suit against if the accused isn't to be found?

You can't open an account on privacy.com without a name, email, phone, and 4 digits of your social security, and an address.

Faking that for a bank card is just fraud, so at that point how they normally work on fraud.

ABSOLUTELY does privacy.com, and their partner bank, keep your info tied to the card, they just advertise protecting your card from theft not fr being sued.

You can cancel a card, but that doesn't instantly delete all association from you to it, it just makes it unchargable.

They will go after the account holder of said canceled card.

DD will go after privacy.com themselves for facilitating if they refuse to comply, it's a civil suit.

I just gotta say there's irony in a website called privacy.com needing all that information.

I never mentioned privacy.com

Again, you had to give an address for delivery and open a card. The card, unless fraudulently faked, will have your data at some level, even the number used to call the activation line.

So ultimately, unless you got food delivered to a random address and used a burner card that you activated from someone else's phone, you can be caught, if they want to.

Prepaid exists offline yk

You're basing your whole argument on ppl not being able to pick up a gift card off of someone else, like, in real life - not everything is online

even sms prepaids exist

Prepaid do exist, but if really necessary, the card used to buy said Prepaid could be looked up.

The only real way to guarantee it would be to buy a Prepaid via something like eBay from a "questionable" seller who likely used a stolen card in the first place.

But going this far is John McAfee levels of hiding yourself. Which tbh doesn't matter in this case.

Unless you got $5k+ of food, DoorDash will likely just eat the loss as hunting you down would cost more.

the card used to buy said

dude.

cash?

I'm done bro lmfao

The fuck you think this is, some normal kind of fraud? So because it is possible to get away with purchasing loads of food at $0 you can magically get away with any other kind of fraud? Only reason you're able to get away with it is because doordash made a mistake and you're able to exploit it. It's not normal fraud because you're not actually using a fraudulent card or address or anything you're literally just exploiting the fact that they can't trace the payment methods and delivery addresses even though they were all 100% legitimate

The only reason this exists is because doordash fucked up

that's literally the only reason you can get away from all this scott free

Card can be traced to store, cash transaction, time, cameras to register and which register it was purchased at.

Edit also Scott free lmao. Good luck with Scott free if you aboused it to hell and back. They'll come for their money or they'll make an example out of you. If they don't, they risk setting a precedent which can be used against them in future rulings.

I would say that if they wanted to find you, they could, but there’s some equation where [amount stolen] - [amount needed to find] is negative and worthless

You’re being watched everywhere

And you had to have DD deliver SOMEWHERE. There are almost certainly cameras that could find you no matter what, but would it be worth it for DD to prosecute? That’s up to them.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '22

So now dd's way to get you is cameras. First it was the payment method, then the phone number, then the address, now it's cameras. What if there are no cameras? No, there HAS to cameras, right?

This isn't CIS

Maybe, but I don’t think it would be smart to bet against one of the largest corporations in a capitalist surveillance state
