How to post your credit card on the Internet

from here

The precautions I took are as follows:

  1. Carefully line up the card so that only the side edge can be seen and take a picture
  2. Turn it around and repeat step 1 for the other side
  3. Then put the card that wasn't even a credit card in the first place back where it belongs
In other words, just don't do it.
