My friend found someone's credit card and used it?
Legally, he's an adult in almost all cases (he can't drink alcohol yet). So he's committed a crime as an adult, and this is actually a pretty serious crime. There is absolutely no way that he can convince a judge or anyone else that he thought it was going to be OK to use someone else's credit card, unless he's mentally incompetent. He might get good grades, but he's pretty stupid. He's going to get caught. He practically signed his name to the crime when he gave his address. He can still go to college, but he won't get hired for a lot of jobs. If the job involves money handling at all, from being a cashier to being a CFO, he has basically forfeited any chance to get such a job. If the job involves any sort of responsibility, he won't get it. He will probably need to rethink his college major, because now there are few jobs that pay good money that will hire him, so he might spend a lot of money on a college degree and be unable to find a job in that field. And the irony is that he threw away his future for things that are very, very temporary, they will only be useful for a few years.
If someone found credit cards on the ground and used them at Walmart to spend $1400, and cameras were all over, would the bank or Walmart handle this?
Walmart would call the police as soon as they realize that a person used the card fraudulently, and if the police are in a jurisdiction where they’re not inundated by so many police reports, they actually have time to investigate, it could easily result in the arrest of the person and a good handful of felony charges from this specific crime.

Where can the pin number on a credit card be found? What is it used for?
You get the PIN number by mail around the same time that you get your credit card.The bank sends you a PIN number when it issues you a credit card. For security reasons, they are mailed separately (usually around 2 days apart).If you did not retain that piece of paper (with the PIN), you can always ask for a new one (I do not think there is a cost to it, BUT there is always a cost associated with cash advances).The PIN number is used for cash advances from an ATM.

Credit Card Fraud Credit card fraud occurs when purchases are made using someone else’s credit card or credit card number with the intent to defraud. Common forms of credit card fraud include counterfeiting credit cards, using lost or stolen cards, and fraudulently acquiring credit cards through the mail. Such examples of misuse are the most obvious forms of credit and charge card fraud, but unauthorized use of the number by itself — a more subtle form of fraud called "misappropriation"— is growing in popularity. Today, more than half of all credit card fraud takes place online. The Title 18 of the U.S. Code, Section 1029 provides the penalties for “fraud and related activities in connection with access devices,” where access devices refers to any means of account access, including credit cards, account numbers, and PINs, as well as telecommunications services and equipment. The laws in the code prohibit things such as producing, possessing, trafficking in, or soliciting for access devices with the intent to defraud. Though other state and federal law enforcement agencies can also investigate and prosecute credit card fraud cases, the United States Secret Service has primary jurisdiction to investigate threats against its “protectees.” Those threats include credit card fraud, as well as counterfeiting of currency and other Government obligations; forgery or theft of bonds, Treasury checks, and other securities; computer, identity, and telecommunications fraud, and a handful of other crimes affecting federally insured financial institutions. The Secret Service’s unique authority is exercised in accordance with an agreement between the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General. Penalties for credit card fraud include fines and/or imprisonment for up to ten or twenty years, depending on the specific provisions of the law that has been violated. The maximum sentence for a second offense is twenty years.
HELP PLEASE! My mom found out I used her credit card.?
You broke her trust in you. She will get over her anger but it will take a lot longer for her to trust you again. The best thing you can do is accept the punishment she is giving you without complaining about it. Complaining will show her that you care more about your feelings than hers and that will be more evidence to her that you aren't to be trusted. Doing what you did demonstrates that you care more about what YOU want than anything else. It's up to you to reverse the damage, and it will take time.

My friend found a stolen credit card and they have used it...a lot. Will they get in trouble?
Yes. She is in a great deal of trouble. She could go to Jail. She needs to interview several Criminal Defense Attorneys immediately. She needs to hire the Criminal Defense Attorney that she thinks will be best for her. If this is her first offense a good Criminal Defense Attorney may be able to keep her out of jail. That is the best that she can hope for, and there is no guarantee that she can avoid jail, just the possibility in some jurisdictions that she may be able to avoid jail if she has a good Criminal Defense Attorney and if she has no Criminal Record prior to this
Should I use the credit card numbers I found online to buy an app? I honestly don't have a credit card of my own.
No, that would be fraud.If you honestly don’t have a credit card, then at least you have honesty, which is worth more than any stupid app.If you are unable to get a credit card, consider getting a debit/credit card. These work just like a credit card, and can be used for online purchases, and generally include all the consumer protections available to real credit cards. You usually get one automatically when you open a checking account at an American bank.
