Thief Hacked Bank Account To Steal One Penny To Buy Porn

Thief Hacked Bank Account To Steal One Penny To Buy Porn

Hacking someone’s bank account isn’t easy, even if they have a shitty password taped to the dashboard of their car or something. But the payoff’s totally worth it: With the loot, you can afford things like extravagant fetish porn that costs a penny.

Someone who was apparently horny and very bad off financially hacked the bank account of a woman living in Buffalo Gorve, Illinois, and printed out cheques with her name and account number, but an address located about 80km away. The woman noticed a stray purchase on her statement, so she called the business the fake cheque was made out to, and found out that it was a porn site and someone had made a purchase in her name. For one cent.

Obviously, we have a few questions here. What kind of pornographic website accepts payment in the form of a cheque? What kind of anything website — or anything anything — accepts payment in the form of a cheque? What kind of porn costs one cent? Is it quantifiably better than free porn? Was this a feeler purchase, or the beginnings of a spree of penny-sized porno check purchases? Is the ol’ penny cheque porno buy scam a real thing that actually happens?

If you are this nameless, apparently penniless, porno-loving hacker, please get in touch with us to address these questions. We offer anonymity and contacts who will help you with any of your future porn requirements. [WLS AM via Drudge]
