>>9217331i did jail time for credit card fraud and identity theft when i was younger. this is before chip and pin when you could just copy and past magstripe data onto new cards and walk out of stores with 3000 worth of electronics.
Most people just assume that i have never been to jail and the few times that i have mentioned it people just think i am making it up. I've never had a job that has done a criminal record check.
the only annoying thing is that some of my distant relatives know about it and are now very hostile to me. My parents simply never bring it up or talk about it.
