Dumb Criminals: Florida (Obviously) Man Steals Neighbors' Credit Card, Invites Them To NFL Game
SPRING HILL (FOX 13) -
Deputies say a Spring Hill couple was surprised to learn that Buccaneers tickets given to them by a neighbor were actually paid for with their own credit card. And that's not all he supposedly bought with their stolen card.
Anthony James David faces a variety of charges after deputies say he swiped his neighbors' Discover and Best Buy gift cards. They say he had befriended the couple and gave them a false name and even took them to the Bucs game with the ill-gotten tickets -- all without them knowing.
"As it turned out looking on our credit card statement, we had actually financed the entire day," Bill Callahan said. "He seemed like a really nice guy. Introduced himself as a pharmaceutical rep, and everything seemed pretty accurate with what he was telling us."
But Bill and his wife Melissa got suspicious after discovering their card has been used fraudulently to purchase flowers at a local florist, food from Panera, legal services from a Tampa attorney, PayPal services, and Verizon services. They also found that two of their Best Buy gift cards were used at Best Buy stores in Spring Hill and New Port Richey.
