@ Whimsy:
No its not rude at all to ask! I know everyone makes mistakes, I'm just glad that I got my major mistake over with while I'm still young and childless!
While I was attending college, me and my best friend found a way to create fake checks using software you can buy from office depot. Everything about the checks were real except the account numbers, which we made up. We also bought fake IDs to match the names on the checks, which we also made up. We would buy expensive things like electronics from places like wal-mart or best buy, and then after 7-10 days, take the items back and receive cash. We lived off of this crime for about a year and a half, constantly traveling out of town and going on shopping sprees.... we thought we were smarter than the system!
It was insanely easy and INCREDIBLY ADDICTIVE. I thank God that we got caught when we did. If I had not gotten into trouble, I would still be doing it to this day, and who knows what may have happened?
