KOTO, JAPAN — A part-time mall clerk in Japan was busted for stealing 1,300 credit card numbers and using them to make purchases online. <br />Sure he broke the law, but how he did it was pretty damn impressive. <br />According to Sora News, 34-year-old Yusuke Taniguchi was able to jack all those cards by using nothing but his photographic-like memory. <br />According to police, while working at the mall, Taniguchi would allegedly memorize a customer's 16-digit-number, name, expiry date and security code, all in the short time it took to process their purchase. <br />That ain't bad considering how quick credit card transactions are nowadays. <br />After the customers left, he would write the credit card information down into a little notebook he kept. <br />Taniguchi would then use those credit cards to make online purchases, which he would then sell to pawn shops for money. <br />Unfortunately having a great memory didn't help when it came to criminal planning. Taniguchi had everything he bought online sent to his home address. <br />After he bought two expensive bags online for around $2,500, the cops became fishy and followed the delivery to Taniguchi's doorstep and later arrested him. <br />Guess next time he just needs to remember not to use his OWN address.
