Walmart Sells You An Empty Box Instead Of A Laptop....

-- But You Bought It With Stolen Credit Cards!!!

You know how sometimes in football both teams will screw up on the same play and the penalties will offset? We've just found the fraud version of that situation. Three men brought a laptop computer box to Walmart and said that they'd been sold an empty box. Walmart thought they were being scammed, so they called the police. That's when all hell broke loose.

When the police arrived on the scene, one of the three men ran away, dropping credit cards on the ground. It turns out that these credit cards were fakes encoded with real stolen credit card numbers. The men were arrested and there's now an ongoing investigation as to the origin of the numbers... but here's the hilarious part — Walmart actually did sell these guys an empty box instead of a laptop.

Only one word comes to mind that would be perfect to describe this situation and it's karma. Now they'll facing cc fraud charges (which is a federal offense).
