The short of it:

Jeffrey Hlinak would buy an item at a department store, buy numerous copies of the same product at a discount store, doctor the department store receipts and then collect higher-priced refunds on the items he bought at the discount stores, authorities said.

Hlinak sometimes negotiated even lower prices at the discount stores by using fake Internet ads offering price-match guarantees, prosecutors said.
 
Wow, $800,000! And he was basically living out of his car and in motels. It's amazing the things people do for money. He should've used that and escaped to a tropical island somewhere, like Milton in Office Space.
 
lol to the chosen1 ZING lol and this guy did some of this stuff at my city Erie PA i wonder if he came in at Stein Mart (where i used to work) at all.. lol

Haha, funny. Did you think of that one all by yourself? You so creative. I would of never thought of anyone that could think of something that funnier. You should get the award of the funniest post ever, but not only at on the CAG message board, but message boards all across the land! I envy you.

Ok, Ok, you got me. I would have never been able to come up with that if your mom hadn't helped me. She's just so good at doing the dirty work for people who can't do things for themselves.

You should get her to help you with your grammar

In all humor there is a grain of truth. I don't hate to be the one to say I told-you-so so Ill say it:

I TOLD YOU SO

what you are doing is fraud, by any definition, but most importantly, the legal one.
 
Eh, pathetic souls wasted on thinking of creative insults over a message board saddens me. Go do something instead of using my mom as a target of your pitiful jokes to look good you attention whores.
 
Uh, am I missing something here? It seems oNeWiNgEdAnGeL and chosen1s had a quarrel outside of this post, is this true? And I've been meaning to ask you defender, what is up with your avatar?

Well..I dont think so..

I just like making crude jokes.

And I think I must have the best Avatar since I get questions and PMs about it all the time.

What is wrong with everybody? Shut up about the other incident already. Not only is it off-topic, but it is against the rules:

What are the rules here?
Pretty simple:
1) No illegal activities
2) Posts should be easily readable, placed in the correct forums, and not in CAPS
3) Respect other CAGs - Please try to get along.
4) No excessive cursing or posting (or linking to) offensive material

5) Follow the rules that are posted in each forum

and the terms you agreed to when registering:

You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions.

The people who continue to insult others make coming to this forum an unpleasant experience. :cry:
 
You do have a good point, and it is noted.
But notice that the inclusions of the words "try" and "may" make these rules read more as suggestions than edicts.

SURE....if you want to be ARRESTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (maybe not, but I wish everyone thought that so the scamming would stop)


Seriously the point of this site is to note cheap gaming deals, not ways to scam stores out of money.
