With all the new technology available today it's not that
tough to make rip-off copies of things. A really good
graphics-capable computer can crank out fairly good currency.
And there are ways of producing credit cards. But even the
best machinery can't correct spelling errors. And an error
in spelling is what tripped up a man who tried to make fake
credit cards. According to news reports in Vancouver, Wash.,
the man was sentenced to prison on nearly two-dozen counts
of identify theft. What tipped off merchants and the police
is that in making fake Platinum Mastercards, he spelled the
word "Plotinum."
