Amazon.com Wishlists


I am in New Hampshire, and I have a question about wishlists online. I have a good friend of mine, that is a beautiful women, and loves to use it to her advantage. She has a amazon.com wishlist, and she just got home and found a laptop of $1,600 on her pourch. It was a gift from someone on the internet thru the wishlist. If he used a stolen credit card is she liable? She still doenst have an idea who its from.

if there is a reasonable doubt that it may be bought with a stolen card. then it is receiving stolen property. and depending on the state may be a felony if amount is high enough. not to mention mail fraud if sent u.s.p.s. she would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt she %100 knew it was not stolen. what guy in there right mind would buy any woman that he did not know a gift like that.

Nonetheless, if the card was stolen she doesn't have to "prove" she didn't know. Our justice system (theoretically) works on the presumption of innocence. Therefore, any enforcement agency would have to prove that she DID know the card was stolen for her to be prosecuted successfully.

The rest of the story sounds like a load of crap.

For her to not "know" the sender and yet "know" the card is stolen reeks of it being the OP being the sender and how he's afraid it's going to catch him.
